If you’ve played Lethal Company, you already know how brutal the monsters in this game can be. One wrong move, and boom—you’re dead. Each creature has its own terrifying quirks, and if you want to make it out alive, you need to know exactly what you’re up against. So, let’s talk about 10 of the scariest lethal company monsters you’ll encounter and how to (hopefully) survive them.
|Eyeless Dog
This thing is straight-up nightmare fuel. It doesn’t have eyes, but don’t think that makes it any less dangerous—it hears everything. If you so much as breathe too loud, it’ll be on you in seconds. The only way to survive? Stay absolutely silent. Crouch, don’t use your flashlight, and for the love of all things holy, don’t run. If you hear its raspy breathing getting closer, it’s already hunting.
Your best bet is to freeze and pray it doesn’t decide to investigate your position. You can also lure them to baboon hawks or old birds. They will often skirmish and kill each other. You can also use zap gun and shovel to kill them, but this needs effective communication and teamwork as they are very sturdy.
|Forest Keeper
If you hear trees cracking around you, you’re probably already dead. The Forest Keeper is this towering monster that only appears at night, and when it does, it’s hunting. It blends into the darkness, making it almost impossible to spot until it’s too late. The key to survival? Don’t let it see you. You can trick a earth leviathan to eat a forest keeper if you time it right. Its also possible to kill him with shovel or knife, but it will take too long or 19 to 30 hits as it has large health.
With multiple players, a combination of zap gun and knives can be used to stun and kill the forest keeper. Stick to cover, move as quietly as possible, and avoid any open areas. If you do get spotted, running might not even help—it’s faster than it looks.
|Earth Leviathan
Imagine peacefully walking around, and suddenly the ground beneath you explodes. That’s the Earth Leviathan for you, a giant worm-like beast that erupts from the ground and swallows anything in its path. If you feel the ground shaking, RUN. It can’t be killed so don’t even try, instead try getting out of its range to save yourself.
Find solid ground or some sort of structure to hide behind. You have to run zig-zag so it doesn’t predict your movement. The worst part? You never know exactly when it will strike. Sometimes, it teases you with small tremors, making you second guess whether you’re safe.
|Baboon Hawk
At first, you might think, “Oh, it’s just a weird-looking bird, no big deal.” Wrong. Alone, a Baboon Hawk won’t do much, but when they swarm? You’re screwed. They work together to disorient and overwhelm their prey. If you see one, assume there are more nearby and get out of there fast.
Running in a straight line won’t help much—zigzag or take cover inside a building to break their line of sight. You can use shovel to kill it, around 5 hits are required to kill them. The real danger comes when you’re distracted and don’t notice them creeping up on you.
|Circuit Bees
Imagine regular bees, but worse. These ones are electric, they guard their hives aggressively, and they’ll zap you if you get too close. Unlike normal bees, they don’t just sting and leave. They keep attacking until you’re nothing but a smoking pile on the ground. The best way to deal with them? They can’t be killed so just don’t go near their hives. Seriously, it’s not worth it. Just leave them alone and they will also leave you.
Stun grenades and zap guns don’t work on them. If you absolutely have to pass by one, move slowly and stay as far away as possible. Running usually just makes them angrier.
|Snare Flea
This little creep hangs out on ceilings, waiting for an unsuspecting player to walk underneath so it can drop down and choke them out. If you’re walking through a dark area, always look up, otherwise you might find yourself gasping for air with no way to escape. If it does latch onto you, your teammates need to act fast to knock it off.
They are weak and can be killed with 3 shovel hits or by using a stun gun. The best way to avoid it? Use a flashlight to check ceilings before walking forward, and stick close to walls whenever possible.
|Bunker Spiders
Oh, you hate spiders? Cool, because these ones hate you too. Bunker Spiders spin massive webs in tight spaces and will pounce the second you’re trapped. If you see webs, turn around immediately. Don’t try to be a hero and squeeze through—once you’re caught in the web, struggling just alerts the spider faster. If you absolutely have to go through a webbed area, move slowly and have an escape plan ready.
You can use melee weapons like shovel to kill it, but you have to be very careful. The worst part? They’re quiet. You might not even know one is near until it’s already too late.
|Bracken
Bracken is the ultimate stalker. It doesn’t make noise, it doesn’t rush at you—it just quietly follows you around, waiting for the right moment to strike. The only way to stop it? Look directly at it. If you keep an eye on it, it won’t attack. But the second you turn your back… well, good luck.
You can use shovel to kill bracken in about 5 hits and he is also susceptible to the Stun Gun. The worst feeling is knowing it’s behind you but not being able to look away. If you’re playing with friends, have someone keep watch while the others move. And whatever you do, don’t blink.
|Jester
At first, this thing doesn’t seem that scary—it just follows you around. But don’t let that fool you. Once it decides to attack, it goes berserk, suddenly bursting open and charging at you. It’s one of those monsters that lure you into a false sense of security before turning your world upside down.
If you see a Jester, find cover fast. You can’t kill it, but you can stun him in its wind-up phase which will give you time to escape. Running in a straight line won’t work because it moves unpredictably. If you can, try to break its line of sight—sometimes that buys you just enough time to escape.
|Coil-Head
It’s a mannequin. But not just any mannequin—it moves when you’re not looking. As long as you keep your eyes on it, it stays still. The second you turn away? It’s getting closer. Your best bet is to never let it out of your sight. The real challenge comes when you have to navigate an area without turning your back completely.
If you’re playing with friends, take turns watching it while moving. And whatever you do, don’t assume it’s gone just because you haven’t seen it in a while. Also a stun grenade can momentarily incapacitate the Coil-Head, giving you a chance to escape.
Final Thoughts
Surviving Lethal Company monsters is all about knowing what you’re dealing with. Some monsters hunt by sound, some by sight, and some are just pure evil. If you pay attention to their patterns and keep your wits about you, you might just make it out alive. Or, y’know, you might get swallowed by a giant worm. Either way, good luck out there!
