Monsters are usually immune to the element that they attack with, with the exception of [[File:Impact_damage_icon.png|18px]] [[Impact]] monsters, which have no immunity.
== MonsterActive Listmonsters ==
Active monsters must be fought by the player while they remain online, and can be separated into neutral and [[aggressive]] monsters.
For a more comprehensive list of all monsters and their variants, please refer to their respective episode's combat professions.
For a comprehensive list of all monsters and their variants, please refer to their respective episode's combat professions below.
Each monster has several variants, click on a respective monster below to see a full list of its variants spanning from [[Experience|levels 0 - 500]].
== Passive Monsters ==
Certain monsters can only be attacked [[File:Passive small icon.png|18px]] [[Passive activities|passively]]. These monsters will always have the same combat level as the profession level required to unlock them, and do not possess elemental vulnerabilities. Although the information cards of passive monsters suggest they have elemental immunities and attack styles, in practice this is irrelevant as they cannot physically harm the player, and the player's damage type will be converted into {{AttackStyle|impact}} regardless of the actual element of the weapon that was chosen. Therefore, it is always advisable to pick the weapon with the highest strength value possible regardless of element.
Upon initiating combat, the player will continue attacking them, even while offline, until they decide to stop. Killing passive monsters will accumulate experience and money while the player is offline until they log back into the game, up to a maximum of 24 hours. However, the rate of experience and money gained is much less than fighting active monsters. It is recommended only to begin fight passive monsters immediately before logging off.
Passive monsters must be fought using a weapon with a minimum strength rating of their <math>Combat Level + 20</math>.
As with all passive activities, there is a brief preparation phase upon initiating the activity during which the player '''must not''' disconnect. Once this preparation phase is over and the activity has started, the player may then safely log off.

Certain monsters in Brighter Shores can only be attacked [[File:Passive small icon.png|18px]] [[Passive activities|passively]].

==Aggressive Monsters==
{{Main|Aggressive}}[[File:Tentacle Aggro.jpg|right|frameless|width=268x268]]
Certain active monsters are aggressive and will attack the player on sight. This is indicated by their red name. When aggressive monsters spot the player, a white exclamation mark '!' will appear above their heads and the monster will perform a brief action indicating they have spotted the player, giving the player a brief moment before they attempt to fight. Aggressive monsters have an aggression radius of five tiles in any direction, equivalent to an 11 by 11-tile square centered around them. This is equivalent to the maximum range of the player's ranged weapon. Aggressive stationary monsters such as [[Floor Tentacle|Floor Tentacles]], [[Spiky Ball|Spiky Balls]] and [[Viper|Vipers]] are an exception to this, as they will only attack the player if they are within range.
If the player enters combat with an aggressive monster, they can quickly cast [[Immunity]] (default hotkey: '''ESC'''). Players may also drink a [[Fear|Fear Potion]] before entering aggressive rooms to prevent themselves from being targeted. Keep in mind that should an aggressive monster engage in combat with the player mid-Immunity cast, the cast will be cancelled, combat will begin and the player would need to re-cast the spell.
When entering an aggressive room, it is recommended to simply run straight through, using the aggressive monster's targeting animation to gain distance in order to avoid combat if possible. [[Gassy Cave]] and [[Moderate Mineshaft]] contain stationary Floor Tentacles which may be safely traversed by the player without engaging in combat, as shown in the image. However, combat is unavoidable in [[Quibble Lane]], which contains Spiky Balls, due to its narrow pathways. As such players hoping to traverse Quibble Lane without engaging in combat must use a Fear Potion or Immunity.
When defeating an aggressive monster, the player will gain 30 seconds of [[immunity]]. However, this will not begin ticking down until the player moves or otherwise performs any action (including sorting their inventory, clicking on the tile they are currently standing on, and looting / opening loot menus). Moving the camera or the mouse in any other way that does not result in player movement or inventory sorting (including opening in-game overlay menus such as Spells, Settings, Map etc, viewing information cards, casting [[Sense]], and switching servers) will not trigger the countdown. However, clicking on anything '''within''' the opened in-game overlay menus ('''any spell except Sense''', applying [[Knowledge|knowledge points]], or clicking on any button within the Settings menu) '''will''' begin the countdown.
Aggressive monsters may be used for semi-AFK (Away From Keyboard) activities, whereby the player can still pick up loot from defeating the monsters but does not wish to fully log out. However, the effectiveness of this strategy is limited by the Immunity timer mentioned above. A full list of all aggressive monsters, with their respective episode and combat profession, can be found below.

==Boss Monsters==
Bosses may possess increased HP and power, compared to a normal monster of the same level. They may also have access to mechanics that the player will need to deal with appropriately to avoid taking significant damage.
