The Witcher universe is filled with fearsome monsters and deadly creatures. Witchers exist to slay dangerous monsters that are otherwise too deadly for many people to face directly. Many creatures have their own strengths, weaknesses, and tactics so Geralt of Rivia must be prepared for anything after he sets out from a major settlement. Learn more about the cast of monsters and creatures you'll likely come across in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. This information might help you slay some of them and net you a nice reward.

Tips for Monster Hunting

 * Monsters are distinguished from other creatures using two primary criteria: dissimilarity to humans and lack of sentience or obvious intelligence.
 * Monsters don’t scale with your level. If you’re way underleveled compared to a monster, you’ll do almost no damage.
 * The level of an enemy is displayed, but is its level is indicated by a skull you better stay away, because it’s way too strong for you, and it might even oneshot you.
 * The in-game bestiary populates itself as you learn information and eventually it tells you where a monster lives, at what times of day it appears, what it’s vulnerable to.
