The backyard continues to get bigger.
Obsidian Entertainment’s survival gameGroundedis still growing long after its full release and exiting early access. Players take on the role of a kid that’s been shrunk down to the size of an ant, meaning everyday trash and plant life now looks like a dense jungle that’s full of secrets to explore.
Of course, this also means that the bugs you might not have noticed before are now huge in comparison, ranging from the comparably-sized ants to monstrous spiders. There’s no need to start your escapades without warning, so here’s the full list of creatures in Grounded:
Grounded — Harmless mobs
The weakest types of creatures you’ll see in Grounded are the Harmless mobs. These cannot fight back against you, so you are free to attack and smash them for resources with impunity. They’re also usually (but not always) on the smaller side.
Grounded — Neutral mobs
The next tier of creatures you’ll find in Grounded are the Neutral mobs. These bugs won’t attack you…first thing. Get in their way, cause problems, or attack them, and you’ll quickly mark yourself as a target as they fight back, some in more coordinated ways than others.
Grounded — Aggressive mobs
This tier, the Angry mobs, is where the real danger lies. Outside of some super-specific situations (like using special armor to trick ants) these creatures will always attack you on sight. Some are far more dangerous than others. A mite is no concern, but if you see a big spider early on? Run.
Grounded — Bosses
Bosses in Grounded are unique, powerful creatures that can have multiple stages or extremely unique attacks. Many (but not all) of these foes will summon underlings. Players should have some of the best possible equipment before taking these threats on.
