Castle of the Winds/Monsters

Castle of the Winds includes 90 types of monsters, plus several bosses.

Animals
Animals range from the merely annoying Giant Rat and Giant Bat to the ferocious Cave Bear and White Wolf.

Dragons
Dragons are of six different ages, with increasing strengths. From youngest to oldest, they are: Young, Young Adult, Adult, Old, Very Old, Ancient. (Dragons do not actually age in-game, because according to legend this takes hundreds of years.) Dragons are of four different colours, each with its own elemental attack:
 * Red (breathe fire)
 * Blue (breathe lightning)
 * White (breathe cold)
 * Green (breathe poison gas; least deadly if Neutralize Poison spell is known)

Devils
Devils can open gates to summon their allies.

Elementals
Seven types of Elementals exist: Air, Water, Fire, Earth, Dust, Ice and Magma.

Humans and Humanoids
Human and humanoid monsters include:
 * The Evil Warrior and Berserker (fight hand-to-hand)
 * The Bandit (fires arrows)
 * The Wizard and Necromancer, who can cast: Slow, Summon Monster (both)/Summon Undead (Necromancer), Phase Door, Teleport, the three bolts, and Heal Medium Wounds, as described in Castle of the Winds/Magic.
 * The Smirking Sneak Thief (who can steal items and then teleport away)
 * The Kobold (a tiny, weak humanoid)
 * The Huge Ogre
 * The Gruesome Troll
 * Goblins (including the weak basic Goblin, the Goblin Fighter and the Hobgoblin).
 * Giants of five types (Hill, Stone, Frost, Fire, Two-Headed)

Undead
Many undead creatures have attribute-draining attacks, some temporary, some permanent.
 * Skeletons and Walking Corpses, which do not have special powers.
 * Shadows, Shades, and Spectres, which can walk through walls but do not have draining attacks.
 * The Eerie Ghost, which drains Strength and Dexterity temporarily.
 * Vampires, which drains maximum HP. This damage can be healed by visiting a Temple of Odin.
 * The Dark Wraith, Pale Wraith and Abyss Wraith, which drain intelligence and mana irreversibly.
 * The Tunnel Wight, Barrow Wight and Castle Wight, which drain strength, dexterity and constitution irreversibly.

Other Creatures
In addition to the monsters listed above, the following are found in CoTW:
 * The Rat-Man, Wolf-Man, Bear-Man and Bull-Man
 * Animated Statues in wood, bronze, iron and marble.
 * The Slime (immobile, immune to physical but not magical attacks)
