Armadillo: 100 Points. Stages 1, 2, 4, 5
Boa
Lipps
Boa are pig like enemies which will attack Athena with hammers. They tend to speed up when they see her, and they will throw their weapons in later levels.

Blue: 200 Points. Stages: 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8
Red: 250 Points. Stages: 1, 2, 3, 5, 8

Blue: 200 Points. Stages: 1, 2, 7
Red: 250 Points. Stages: 2, 5, 6, 7, 8
Coda

Green: 150 Points. Stages: 1, 2, 5, 7, 8

Blue: 800 Points. Stages: 1, 2, 3, 5, 7
Red: 900 Points. Stages: 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8

Yellow: 50 Points. Stages: 2
Red: 100 Points. Stages: 2
Red: 150 Points. Stages: 7
Like the spiders, these scorpion enemies can also deal poisonous damage to Athena. Sasoris generally stick to the ground, but they may drop down from above. Attack them from a safe distance.

Red: 100 Points. Stages: 2
Red: 150 Points. Stages: 5, 6, 7
Ryukaon
Medusa
Ryukaons are a class of enemy that have the ability wield magic. They are also gifted with the ability to turn themselves invisible. When they are invisible, you cannot hurt them, but they must become visible in order to attack you. Collect the Red Crystal Gem to see them at all times.
Yellow: 400 Points. Stages: 2
Blue: 450 Points. Stages: 2, 5, 6, 8
Red: 500 Points. Stages: 2, 5, 6, 8

Blue: 1000 Points. Stages: 2, 5, 6, 7
Uni
Anemone

Blue: 150 Points. Stages: 3, 6
Red: 200 Points. Stages: 3, 6, 8
Death Fisher
Snake Bat
Death Fishers like to swim through the water in groups. They swim forward until they reach a certain point on the screen behind Athena, swim up or down, and then race back to the right side of the screen.
Green: 100 Points. Stages: 3
Blue: 200 Points. Stages: 3
Red: 300 Points. Stages: 6, 8

Blue: 200 Points. Stages: 4, 5
Red: 300 Points. Stages: 4, 5, 6, 7
Dagosu
Regulus
The Dagosu are the native lifeforms in the World of the Sea. They swim towards Athena with their swords drawn, although they may leave other weapons besides swords behind when they are defeated.
Green: 300 Points. Stages: 3
Blue: 350 Points. Stages: 3, 8
Red: 400 Points. Stages: 3, 6, 8
Regulus (which is the name of the brightest star in the lion zodiac constellation Leo) is a winged lion who protects some of the territory in the World of the Sky. He is a tough enemy and takes many hits to defeat.
Regulus: 1500 Points. Stages: 4
Flying Pyutan
Just as the regular Pyutan patrol the grounds of the various worlds that Athena must conquer, so too do the Flying Pyutan patrol the skies. Rather than wielding short ranged swords, they prefer to fire crossbows at Athena from a distance, although they have no fear of flying towards her and hitting her up close.
Yellow: 450 Points. Stages: 4
Blue: 500 Points. Stages: 4
Red: 650 Points. Stages: 4
Minotaurus
Like the Kassamus, Minotaurus are quite large enemies that Athena must hit several times in order to knock down. They carry swords, and are inclined to rush towards Athena whenever she gets close. They are worth quite a lot of points.
Aqua: 1500 Points. Stages: 5, 7
Green: 2500 Points. Stages: 5, 7
Blue: 3000 Points. Stages: 6, 7, 8
Cerberus
The Cerberus are a large class of enemy like Regulus, which patrol and protect parts of the World of Hell. They have a high vitality, and are worth a good number of points if defeated.
Yellow: 1000 Points. Stages: 6
Blue: 2000 Points. Stages: 6
Red: 3000 Points. Stages: 6, 8
Dark Knight
Death Knight
Dark Knights become the primary enemy force that you will face towards the end of the game. These soulless knights don't mess around, and swiftly attack Athena with their swords.
Yellow: 1000 Points. Stages: 7, 8
Blue: 1000 Points. Stages: 7, 8
Green: 1500 Points. Stages: 7, 8
The Death Knight is an incredibly dangerous foe, with a good amount of hit points and the potential for a lot of damage. However, there is reward in the risk for fighting this enemy, as destroying one is worth a whopping 5000 points. A strong weapon like the Magic Tome or the Red Sword can rip these guys apart, so attack them for a high score.
Death Knight: 5000 Points. Stages: 6, 7, 8
Face Ball
Death Head
Face Balls appear as decoration to several columns that Athena must destroy later in the game in order to proceed.
Face Ball: 1000 Points. Stages: 7, 8
Death Heads are hidden inside certain blocks. When such a block is destroyed, this head will pop out and float around the screen, generally making a nuisance of itself. They are rather hard to kill.
Death Head: 2000 Points. Stages: 1, 2, 4, 5, 6
Bishop
Flying Pyutan
Bishops will appear behind Athena whenever she dawdles in a single place for too long. When they appear, they throw powerful magic her way, that has the ability to destroy all but the most durable armor, as well as do a lot of damage to Athena. They can't be killed, but they won't give chase either.
Bishops: Indestructible. Stages: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
This special Flying Pyutan is unique. It can show up in several stages, and will do so if Athena remains on one portion of a level without scrolling the screen for some time. It will fly around the stage without regard for any obstacles in the way, and fire a barrage of Flame Arrows at Athena. Like the Bishop, it can't be destroyed.
Flying Pyutan: Indestructible. Stages: 1, 2, 5
