'''Monsters''' are enemies found in [[the Mines]], the [[Skull Cavern]], the [[Quarry Mine]], the [[Mutant Bug Lair]], the [[Volcano Dungeon]], and, optionally, on [[the Farm]]. Monsters can attack [[the Player]] and damage their [[health]]. When killed, monsters have a chance of dropping [[Monster Loot]] and other items. Killing monsters increases the player's [[combat]] skill, except on the farm.

==Monsters on the Farm==

Optionally, monsters appear at night on [[the Farm]]. When creating a new game, the [[Options|advanced option]] "Spawn monsters on the farm" toggles monsters on or off for any [[Farm Maps|farm map]]. The Wilderness Farm is the only farm map with monsters on by default. Offering a [[Strange Bun]] to the [[Dark Shrine of Night Terrors]] in the [[Witch's Hut]] toggles monsters on or off in-game.

Monsters on the farm scale with the player's [[combat]] level. At higher levels, more difficult monsters spawn and the [[Wilderness Golem]] is more difficult to kill. Monsters killed on the farm do not grant combat experience.
