Enemy Type
Just like Enemies in Darkest Dungeon, enemies in Black Reliquary belong to one or multiple Types. Certain quirks, trinkets or hero abilities may have effects that only trigger on certain types of enemies such as the Nemesis quirk which confer an accuracy and damage bonus to a certain type of enemy.
As a minor legend, entries in bold are bosses, while entries which are underlined are exclusively boss summons and are listed beneath their respective boss. Enemies with the icon next to them use amber for the purposes of the Amber Eating Capuchin Trinket.
Faction Types
These are the main enemy types for enemy factions. These are usually the types used for Trinket and Quirk effects.
Major Factions
These factions are the primary enemy type of the 4 regions and the only ones that can be the subject of Fear of Faction / Faction Intimitated / Faction Nemesis / Faction Skirmisher quirks gained from successful attacks or Hero deaths.
Levantine
Conscripted by the Vizier, the Levantine forces are tasked with the excavation and recovery of Kvarotz relics and technology in the Catacombs. They operate as trained soldiers, typically working together and fighting with advanced tacics.

Troglodyte
Former Kvarotz slaves, twisted by prolonged exposure to Amber and turned into beasts. They make the Caverns their home. Their hard carapaces afford them higher levels of PROT and Bleed resistance but make them vulnerable to stun attacks. When attacking, they can afflict your party with the Amberblight status as well as heavy bleed, blight, stress and chance of disease.
Swarm is a trait exclusive to Troglodyte enemies; after 3 turns have passed, they are joined by another enemy doubling their health (healing in the process) and gain an extra action with extra skills depending on which Troglodyte joined them.
Due to being blind, they ignore Stealth and typically do not target heroes that are marked at a higher weight than normal.
