Possible unpopular opinion: Bloodborne has the most annoying enemies of the SoulsBorne series, no doubt about it.
Some examples of bullshit enemies: Labyrinth Sages, Winter Lanterns, Garden of eyes, Keeper's dogs, Hunting dogs, and every Spider

Great I went full Arcane build to exploit the elemental weakness of enemies and turns out only 6 enemies in the whole dam game area actually weak against that **** where everything else is weak against ether thrust or blunt physical damage or have no significant weakness fml

All the enemies in the game are either Beasts or Kin with only 2-3 special cases of bosses being neither. Beasts are weak to fire, kin are weak to bolt. If you have 2 neurons, you'd realize already you only have 2 damage types to keep track of to get a permanent upper advantage on everything in the game. if you're into farming Cursed Bloodgems, the least negative effect you can have is ATK Vs. Beasts down in your Bolt gems, or ATK Vs. Kin down on your fire gems. This way, using two weapons, you can tackle pretty much the whole game with a permanent advantage.

I noticed either because I got level 45 or insight 10 that enemies in the same area now require more hits to take down. Internet says this doesn't happen but at the first later this has definitely happened.

Yo where are the little dudes that drop the blood shards? I feel like they might have some slight lore significance, considering they resemble the Brain of Mensis to a degree, and they don't bleed, and have Amygdala's arms...

Aside from Souls games, Bloodborne is 1 of the best games ive played. Excellent story, enemies, and gameplay. I found some of the optional bosses more fun than acual bosses. Ng+ makes it so much more of a challenge, and so much more fun. Thanks From Software.

Who is the guy in the tower and how do I deal with the Beast Patients without getting gunned down by the gunner on top of the Healing Church?
Seems as good a name as any, and they seem to be weak to fire and have health to the tune of around 1200 or so. The weakness to fire could be a magic weakness, as regular hits seem about 50% strength.

We aught to add those blood filled man-fleas found in the Cainhurst courtyard to the list . They have an excellent array of drops.

Took some time to homogenize the coding...stuff... to make the page a little less screwy than it was before. Will continue to work on it. Don't be afraid to link other enemy pages here. If it comes out wrong, I can (hopefully) figure out how to fix it.

What's the official name of the human-headed-spider dudes from the Nightmare of Mensis?

When I went down to the bottom of the Healing Church Workshop tower there was some ram-horned humanoid chucking fireballs at me. It was trying to open the door or something and the second time I went down there, having opened the door at this point, it wasn't there again.
I haven't been able to get a clear photo of them while they're alive, but they move in a blur and screech when they take a swing at you with one of their two sickles? They resemble non-shaded Stalkers, but much faster.
Having worked with the format on this page, I thought it was important to mention that it'll be much easier to wait until we have all of the enemies with their proper names in the catalogue before we alphabetize it. I'll even volunteer to do it.

Can someone add this! They eat insights, it would be useful.

I really want to know what that flying brain enemy is. I just got through the poison swamp and my character just exploded when he got near it.
We need more images for the missing enemies : - fire ball launching centipede - various church doctor ( white face guys ) - crow/dog & dog/crow - legless undead in the sewer - ghost puppet that appear during the fight with Micolash - human-headed spider in mergo's loft - shadow of yarnham guys in mergo's loft - various masked dwarf in the nightmare - cleaver & chain guys that goes with them - wolfmen with saw/plow/pike - undead amalgam ( in yahar'gul before the one reborn ) - razor dogs in the forest before hemwick

What is it, where do I find it, and why isn't it already burning?
I think we should add the npc hunters we find as enemies. So far I've found 3 different ones in chalices and then there are a couple in the main game as well: charred hunter below Djura, Choir Member in Byrgenwerth, 5 Yahar'Gul hunters (2 next to grand cathedral, 3 in yahar'gul chapel), and the scholar in nightmare of Mensis.

I always wondered what was the significance of the Great Ones being weak to bolt attacks. Then I saw this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mU1jMd0MBQ Looks like the Great Ones being weak to bolt has some pretty hefty lore significance.

in Chalice Dungeons i found some type of reptile-shaped guys with eyes like slugs (sticking out of their heads) dressed up in capes. Magicians ... (Summoning exploding fireballs 4inst.) Easy to stagger, easy to kill up close. best letz

I started my game from where I was when I turned off, just after killing a bunch of guys, and when I looked at the ground, all of the blood that sprayed on the floor when I hit them seemed to have colagulated(do not know how to spell right) and dried.

Ugh, these have to be one of the worst enemies in the entire series or at the very least in Bloodborne. I hate them so much. Frenzy just isn't a well done mechanic and these enemies take forever to kill when you first encounter them. They are creepy though, I'll give them that. If there is a worse enemy I don't want to imagine it.

It seems that some people on Reddit have found a strange enemy in the Chalice Dungeons that isn't even listed on the Official Guide. Here's a video of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnxcwaWz50o And the threads on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/bloodborne/comments/34svvk/what_i_this_thing/ https://www.reddit.com/r/bloodborne/comments/34unr3/heres_a_glyph_of_starfox1313s_strange_creature/ https://www.reddit.com/r/bloodborne/comments/34v8fb/heres_video_of_that_weird_chalice_creature/ So, should it be added?

Seeing all of these monstrosities developed by FromSoft really got me thinking on the possibilities of fan-made kin, great ones, beasts or just monsters that reside in Yharnam and beyond, so I imply anyone to share their boss or enemy ideas! It'll be fun! Be creative, also.
