Golden Sun/Enemies

In the world of Golden Sun, Weyard, there are many enemy monsters that roam the land. They range from ordinary forest animals to ghosts and other undead creatures. This is a listing of all the enemies in the game, grouped by types. The weakest form will be on the left, and the strongest on the right.

Rats

The latter two have donned tiny sets of armor. They are very weak in general.  Image:GS Rat Soldier.gif|Rat Soldier Image:GS Rat Fighter.gif|Rat Fighter Image:GS Rat Warrior.gif|Rat Warrior These are more advanced rats which have evolved to walk on two legs. They wield spears and carry shields. They aren't that much stronger than the others, but can deal a bit more damage with the weapons.

Bats

As they get stronger, they gain more techniques, like Fly Attack, which can deal a fair amount of damage.

Bees

They have the ability "Look for Allies", which can enable them to summon more of their own kind. Wipe them out quickly, or you could soon find yourself overrun.

Moles

Bears

Spirits
 Image:GS Amaze.gif|Amaze Image:GS Creeper.gif|Creeper Image:GS Spirit.gif|Spirit Spirits are ghostly creatures. The Amaze is commonly found right near the beginning of the game, so this species is often seen all over. Again, they're relatively weak, but sport a few magic attacks.

Ghosts
 Image:GS Ghost.gif|Ghost Image:GS Ghost Mage.gif|Ghost Mage Image:GS Lich.gif|Lich Image:GS Horned Ghost.gif|Horned Ghost Ghosts are undead monsters that appear in many dungeons and caves. They possess dark powers and can pose a rather difficult threat compared to most of the other smaller monsters that are found with it.

Zombies
 Image:GS Zombie.gif|Zombie Image:GS Undead.gif|Undead Image:GS Wight.gif|Wight Fallen humans who were revived through some dark force. Zombies are found early on near Vale, Vault, and Lunpa. They also have the ability "Look for Allies", so you'll need to take these out first to prevent them from multiplying. They tend to be the leaders of monster parties.

Slimes
 Image:GS Slime.gif|Slime Image:GS Ooze.gif|Ooze Image:GS Rabid Bat.gif|Slime Beast Slimes are gelatinous creatures that exist across the overworld. Like Bees, they have an ability (called "Divide") which will bring a second slime into battle. They don't really possess many magical attacks.

Gnomes
 Image:GS Gnome.gif|Gnome Image:GS Gnome Mage.gif|Gnome Mage Image:GS Gnome Wizard.gif|Gnome Wizard These gnomes are tiny little creatures that are seemingly intelligent. They live in forests and caves. Gnomes know several different magic attacks, so be careful of that. Normally, they appear in groups together or with a bigger monster, but sometimes they'll attack solo.
