Creature Statistics

Explore Dungeon Keeper's creature stats! Compare HP, Strength, Armor, Skill, and more for all creatures at level 1, with tips on calculating higher levels.

Alright, so you've started building your dungeon and you're wondering which creatures are worth your precious Gold and Torture Chamber time. This guide breaks down all the creatures you can get your hands on, comparing their base stats at level 1. Think of it as your cheat sheet for knowing who's who in the monster underworld!

Before we dive into the table, a quick heads-up: all these stats are for creatures at level 1. As your creatures level up, their HP, Strength (STR), Skill (SKL), Dexterity (DEX), and Wage will increase. The game adds a linear 35% to these stats for each level, rounding down. So, a level 4 creature is roughly twice as strong as a level 1, and a level 10 is over four times as powerful!

Here's a quick rundown of what each stat means:

• HP: Health Points – how much damage they can take before they kick the bucket.
• STR: Physical Strength – how hard they hit.
• ARM: Armour – how much damage they can shrug off.
• SKL: Skill (called Defense in the game files) – how well they dodge or resist attacks.
• DEX: Dexterity – affects their speed and accuracy.
• LK: Luck – influences random events and critical hits.
• Wage: How much they cost to pay each week.
• T/R/W/S: Training/Research/Workshop/Scavenger value – shows how good they are at these specific jobs. Higher is better!
• H: Humanoid – 'y' means they can be turned into a Skeleton in the Prison.
• Other: Special abilities or resistances (like gas or lava immunity).

Keep in mind that while stats are important, special abilities can really change the game. A lower-stat creature with a useful ability might be more valuable than you think!
