There are three basic behaviours enemy species display. Aggresive enemies will start attacking Tingle as soon as he gets near them. They ignore bodyguards, though might by accident hit them while aiming for Tingle. Passive enemies will not fight Tingle until provoked (ie, when either Tingle or a bodyguard starts fighting them). Some passive enemies become aggresive when you attack others of their kind in their presence. And lastly, cowardly enemies will run away from a fight or just from Tingle altogether. Like the aggresive enemies, they do not respond to the presence of bodyguards.
Apart from these three basic behaviour patterns, there's a whole range of attack patterns enemy species have. The most common one is simple melee combat. Some enemies though, use ranged attacks. The speed with which they move away when you approach them varies from enemy type to enemy type. Other enemies are immune for attacks until their defence is broken.
Sometimes, you might encounter a golden version of an enemy species. They only appear near regular versions of their kind. They drop far more money than regular enemies.
