I intend for this to be a large guide on all creatures/monsters/soldiers to be found in POTCO. Corrections, suggestions and comments are really appreciated, by the way. I'll be editing this constantly.

Edits already intended:

Adding a picture of each enemy
Alphabetizing
Adding level ranges for each enemy
Adding descriptions for each enemy
Completing guide

Guide History:

March 2nd, 2008: Guide started. I've done a whole lot of work, considering I just started it today. But lots more to do!

Undead Raider
Found: Cutthroat Isle, Padres Del Fuego
Type: Undead
Melee: Yes
Ranged: No
Difficulty: Hard
Description: A high level Undead. Anyone in their low-mid levels of Notoriety will want to avoid these for some time. Usual Undead drops, plus a bit more average gold.

Fly Trap
Found: Cutthroat Isle, Cuba
Type: Unknown
Melee: Yes
Ranged: Yes
Difficulty: Easy/Medium
Description: Stationary enemies, which make running away a lot easier--except for the fact that these weeds love to spit corrosive poison at you, and it, at the moment, seems able to go long range, and even through walls/trees/anything! They vary in level by a lot.

Cave Bat
Found: Tortuga, Port Royal, Padres Del Fuego, Isle de Tormenta
Type: Unknown
Melee: Yes
Ranged: No
Difficulty: Easy
Description: Used for many quests, but besides that, are pushovers.

Vampire Bats
Found: Tortuga, Port Royal, Padres Del Fuego, Isle de Tormenta
Type: Unknown
Melee: Yes
Ranged: No
Difficulty: Easy
Description: Usually around level 10, give or take a few levels. Though a quest may want Cave Bat wings, you can get them off these bats, too, I believe.

Cadet
Found: Port Royal, Tortuga, High Seas
Type: Navy Soldier, Living
Melee: Yes
Ranged: No
Difficulty: Easy
Description: Quite common, and something you'll run into a lot when you first start out. Once it gets to the point where you don't even get 1 rep from these guys, or any bit of gold, you'll stop even blinking at these pushovers.

Guard
Found: Port Royal, Tortuga, High Seas
Type: Navy Soldier, Living
Melee: Yes
Ranged: No

Sargeant
Found: Port Royal, Tortuga, Kingshead, High Seas
Type: Navy Soldier, Living
Melee: Yes
Ranged: No
Difficulty: Easy

Veteran

Stump
Found: Cutthroat Isle, Outcast Isle
Type: Unknown
Melee: Yes
Ranged: No
Difficulty: Hard
Description: Stumps definently win the prettiest monster on this list. And the most ecofriendly. They are above level 30, and can only be found on Cutthroat Island. Low-Med levels should run at the sight of these, or bring a change of pants.

Difficulty: Medium
Description: This is the first undead who'll give you any real trouble. They're usually in groups of more than one, and they like to go for you :P Roughly 20 gold can be dropped from these guys, but it might not be worth your trouble if you're not a much higher level than them.

Undead Grenadier
Found: Tortuga, Cutthroat Isle, Padres Del Fuego
Type: Undead
Melee: No
Ranged: Yes
Difficulty: Medium
Description: Usually around level 20, Grenadiers can be irritating, since they can attack with grenades, and you can't see their attacks. They just stare at you, and you take damage! It seems looks can kill.

Swamp Alligator

Type: Unknown
Melee: Yes
Ranged: No
