- Rarity: General - A creature can easily be found in it's habitat or even outside ; Uncommon - You may not see a creature in you're average game ; Rare - A creature is pretty challenging to find ; Exceedingly Rare - If you encounter it you can proudly take a screenshot ; Extinct - A creature went extinct

- Dangel level (out of ten): 0-2 - A creature is peaceful and will not harm you ; 3-5 - A creature can attack you or fight back, but is mostly neutral ; 6-8 - Creatures marked by that rank are agressive and may kill you ; 9-10 - Survival is almost impossible

- Tribe: A category of creatures to which the one belongs. May be listed as None if hard to identified or doesn't have a tribe

- Habitat: Multiple
- Rarity: General
- Dangel level: 0
- Tribe: Friendly
- Class: Multiple (mostly heavies)

Friendlies are named after their very pacifist behaviour, often found crouching in corners, and greeting everyone. Rarely seen holding their secondary or primary weapon. While friendlies can be any class, the name Pootis refers to specifically heavy friendlies, and comes from their voice line x+5.
Can be identified by not attacking anyone, having a lunchbox item (usually a sandvich), and making friends even with the opposit team.

Tips:
- Don't kill or hurt them in any way pls
- If you want to scare them away, punch with your melee weapon or do a taunt kill in a different direction, most of the times they will go out of your way

- Habitat: Multiple
- Rarity: General
- Dangel level: 7
- Tribe: Friendly
- Class: Pyro

Pybros are very usefull and friendly creatures for their team, but the opposing team is going to have a hard time dealling with them. These creatures are usually found near engineer nests, risking their lives to protect the sentry at all costs.
Can be identified by having a homewrecker as their melee and not leaving the nest. Pose an additional danger to spies by destroying their sappers and killing them immediately.

Tips:
- Dont touch their sentry, but if you really have to, make your attacks in groups of 2+ soldiers with direct hits equipped
- If you are a spy being killed by them they will likely taunt

- Habitat: Multiple maps with water (mostly 2Fort and Egypt)
- Rarity: Uncommon
- Dangel level: 8
- Tribe: Waterborn
- Class: Pyro

Pyrosharks are another creatures based around the Pyro class. Mostly found on maps with bodies of water, killing everyone who dares to enter their habitat.
Can be identified by Neon Anihilator as a melle and usually a camping behaviour. Rarely seen wielding their primary and in some cases secondary. Usually it's just the melee, but in some occurrences this creature wears the cosmetic of the same name

Tips:
- Never enter their domain if your life is dear
- They are stelth hunters, you nearly never see them comming until they are at melle range, instakilling you
- Vulnerable to hitscan

- Habitat: Multiple
- Rarity: General
- Dangel level: 2
- Tribe: None
- Class: Multiple

Gibus are new players that just installed the game and dont know nearly nothing. You need to explain them everything. May attack friendlies, but that's because of ignorance. Name Free-to-Play comes from them not having a premium account.
Recognised by a Ghostly Gibus hat (they don't have anything else), and being at the bottom of the scoreboard. Usually acting nice, but can be toxic or annoying.

Tips:
- Be nice to them, and maybe they will become nice in the future
- If they are killing friendlies, explane to them that it's wrong, but if they don't listen then you might be dealling with the fake gibus

- Habitat: Multiple
- Rarity: Uncommon
- Dangel level: 7
- Tribe: Impersonators
- Class: Multiple

Fake Gibus are creatures that only cover as Gibus to terrorise other players. They usually have some experiense in the game, but not too much.
Identified by wearing Ghostly Gibus, but acting poorly, killing friendlies and ruining the game. Often having more than 100 hours in the game.

Tips:
- Each time you kill them taunt on them
- Try to have a domination on them, spawncamp, do whatever you want to annoy them as much as possible (this is an exeption from the TF2 ettiquette rules)
- Votekick them as fast as you can if possible

- Habitat: Multiple (Mostly 2Fort)
- Rarity: Uncommon
- Dangel level: 3
- Tribe: Impersonators
- Class: Sniper

Bodyshooters are just impersonators of the real Crocosniper. Rarely pose any danger except for fully charged bodyshots (that they miss half the times).
Named after using a sydney sleeper like the true crocosnipers, but hitting nothing except bodyshots

Tips:
- Beware of big sightlines
- I don't have any more tips yet :]

- Habitat: Multiple (Mostly 2Fort)
- Rarity: Rare
- Dangel level: 9
- Tribe: Waterborn
- Class: Sniper

True Crocosnipers are one more waterborn creature after Pyrosharks. Same tribe, same danger, if you encounter a True crocosniper they will mostly kill you immediately.
Got their names after wearing the Croc-o-Style kit fully or partially (Sydney Sleeper, Darwin's Danger Shield, Bushwacka and Ol' Snaggletooth)

Tips:
- Engage them at mostly close range because of their lack of secondary
- Try not engaging them at all, they will cover you in mini crits for 5 seconds or even kill you

- Habitat: Multiple
- Rarity: Uncommon
- Dangel level: 8
- Tribe: Airborn
- Class: Soldier

Troldiers or Roamer soldiers are known for flying around the map and market gardening anyone they stumble upon. Their priority targets are medics and/or snipers.
They are recognised by having the Rocket Jumper as their primary, may also have gunboats or mantreads as a secondary, and market garden as a primary. Usually very skilled.

Tips:
- If they are flying at you try knocking them away, but if troldier is skilled they will fly around like a fly
- If they miss their garden (unluckily) shoot them with hitscan while they are on the ground
- Sentries lvl 2 and 3 are their main weaknesses

Many people often mistake a full on Trolldier with a casual Roamer, these are two different creatures!

- Habitat: Multiple
- Rarity: General
- Dangel level: 4
- Tribe: Airborn
- Class: Soldier

It's better to say that trolldier is an upgraded roamer than roamer is a downgraded trolldier, skill difference is there, it's noticeable, but it's not too big.
A casual roamer is often found with The Liberty Launcher as a primary, the base jumper (bad) or the shotgun (better) as a secondary and the ultimate airborn tribe sign - The Market Gardener. They can still maret garden, but need more backup damage dealers in case of falliure.

- Habitat: 2Fort (mostly comunity)
- Rarity: General - Rare
- Dangel level: 5
- Tribe: None
- Class: Engineer

This is a type of turteling engineers that guard the sewers for the entire game. Raarely seen outside them. In some cases builds up in the enemy sewers. General on the comunity servers, Rare in pubs.
Often found using the Wrangler and living in groups of 2+. Not to dangerous, but can occupy your sewers for the rest of eternity.

Tips:
- Uber is the least you need to get trough their defenses
- Attack from both sides of the sewer

- Habitat: 2Fort (mostly comunity)
- Rarity: Uncommon - Rare
- Dangel level: 4
- Tribe: Friendly
- Class: Engineer

The same sewer engineer, but after upgrading all their buildings to lvl 3 activates the looping taunt (most popular: Rancho Relaxo and Dueling Banjo). Most of the times not even trying to defend anything, even after you broke all the buildings they will just continue lying down.

- Habitat: Multiple (especially 2Fort)
- Rarity: Exceedingly rare
- Dangel level: 10
- Tribe: None
- Class: Sniper

Listen, if a sniper has a bazaar bargain it's normal, if they have a strange on it it's also rather normal, but if this creature is at the top of the scoreboard, has a killstreack and/or 1000+ kills, than you have encountered an average bazaar bargain enjoyer.
Identified by having a domination on half the server, a bazaar bargain, killing everyone the second they show their face and not saying a single word in the chat.

Tips:
- At that point just give up, you need to just leave the server or not leave your spawn
- If need to attack engage at close range with projectile weapons

- Habitat: Multiple
- Rarity: Uncommon
- Dangel level: 8
- Tribe: Loadouts, Annoying
- Class: Pyro

Here we observe the evolution of unicellular organism known as W+M1. They usually forget that mouse has the second button and because of that using a weapon that does not require it. In some sewere cases of brain (inexistant) damage is wearing a whole Dr. Grordbort's Moonman Pack.
Known for having an ultimate hell device the phlog as their primary of choise, scorch shot as a secondary (more inteligent representaives use the Manmelter to extinguish teammates, not to confuse with the full set wielders), and usually the powerjack as a primary. Usually accompanied by a creature called Pocket Medic (later in the bestiary)

Tips:
- Kill their pocket medic first
- Do not fear using projectile weapons, they don't have airblast
- If the have crits, run away, then come back and kill them after crits ended
- Do not fear using projectile weapons, they don't have airblast

- Habitat: Multiple
- Rarity: Uncommon
- Dangel level: 7
- Tribe: Loadouts
- Class: Soldier

The Immortal soldier is another creature from the loadout tribe. They are known for their immense self sustain ability, not needing a health pack or a medic. Like all the creatures in the tribe is hated for various reasons.
Their primary is the infamous ♥♥♥ box Black Box and secondary being the conch

Tips:
- Try dodjing their rockets because they regenerate from every shot they hit
- Keep distanse and hit him from far range

- Habitat: Multiple
- Rarity: Uncommon
- Dangel level: 3
- Tribe: Friendly
- Class: Medic

A Pocket Medic is a pretty useful creature. It got it's name for healing only one patient and never taking the beam of them. The pocket's are often heavies or soldiers.
There are no specific equipment for this creature, rather it's the beaviour.

Tips:
- If fighting a duo, kill a medic first, then the pocket
- Often pocketing people with shiny accessories

- Habitat: Multiple
- Rarity: Rare
- Dangel level: 7
- Tribe: Annoying
- Class: Medic

The Vacinator is a mutation of a regular pocket medic.
Unlike regular pocket medic using a stock medigun, this creature uses the vacinator

Tips:
- Mix up the atacking classes
- There are rumors that these creature are scared of Demoknights more than death

- Habitat: Multiple
- Rarity: General
- Dangel level: 8
- Tribe: Annoying
- Class: Multiple (usually Soldier)

Annoying Tryhards are main representatives of the Annoying tribe. As the name might suggest they are known for trying their hardest to be on top of the scoreboard ignoring every rule of ettiquette imaginable and usually being toxic.
You can recognise an annoying tryhard by killing friendlies (pathetic), having an edgy named weapon and capping on non-cap-maps (2Fort, Hightower etc.)

Tips:
- They will not change, don't even try to convinse them
- Usually doesn't have a style so chases the most expensive cosmetics

- Habitat: Multiple
- Rarity: Exceedingly Rare
- Dangel level: 6
- Tribe: None
- Class: Multiple (usually Soldier)

Yes, there can be a good tryhard! Unlike the Annoying (or Regular) Tryhard, these creatures are much nicer overall, and do not break every ettiquette rule. Their lower danger level here doesn't mean that they have lower skill, this means that they can become less danerous under some circumstances.
Can be identified by respecting friendlies, not capping if asked and not trashtalking in chat after every kill.
There are no tips with these creatures, be nice to them and they will be nice to you.

- Habitat: Multiple
- Rarity: Uncommon
- Dangel level: 8
- Tribe: None
- Class: Demoman

Demoknight is a popular subclass overall, but not so popular to appear in your regular pub game. If you see a good Demoknight it's most of the times too late.
Usually Demoknights have a sheild (charging targe or spendid screen) as a secondary, a sword (usually eyelander, but may be other ones) as a melee and Ali Baba's Wee Boties as a primary.

Tips:
- Try dodjing their charge or youre done
- They will likely be tunnel visioned at you allowing to kill them from outside

- Habitat: Multiple
- Rarity: Rare
- Dangel level: 8
- Tribe: None
- Class: Multiple

A more rare version of a regular demoknight. While still having a sheild and a sword they also have the pipe launcher as a primary weapon.

- Habitat: Multiple
- Rarity: Exceedingly rare
- Dangel level: 5
- Tribe: None
- Class: Heavy

A heavy ones forgot his minigun and desised to massacre everyone with a shotgun. Running around like a scout, being hard to kill and sowing terror anongst an enemy team.
Rarely seen having his primary out and... that's pretty much it. Very primitive creature.

Tips:
- Counter it with hitscan, it is hard to hit with projectiles
- Team work is your best weapon

- Habitat: Multiple
- Rarity: Extinct
- Dangel level: 0
- Tribe: Friendly
- Class: Spy

The infamous nearly extinct spycrab. Began as a glitch, now a very popular meme. Referense can be seen when taunting with a disguise kit with 20% chanse, but a full on spycrab is almost impossible to find.
Looks like a regular spy but with twisted arms and legs causing him to walk like a crab.

Tips:
- If encounter one do not kill it
- Just look how cute he is)))

- Habitat: Multiple
- Rarity: Uncommon
- Dangel level: 5
- Tribe: SO F***NG ANNOYING
- Class: Multiple

When I was writing about "W+M1" I made a mistace thinking that they are main representatives of the annoying tribe. Actually these are. "Anti" Tryhards are creatures that try an absolute hardest to accomplish some made up goal (like 20 killstreak, top of the scoreboard etc.), but when they encounter someone who is better than them in any possible way, they start raging and throwing insults at the person who beat them (like touch grass, get a hobby, nobody likes you etc.) being the most annoying thing to ever grace humanity in the process. I like so f***ing much when they get dominated by someone and fail to accomplish anything, you couldn't imagine how.

Tips:
- These are the biggest exception from any TF2 ettiquette rule
- Ruin their game, taunt after every kill, votekick them, do whatever you want!

*i couldn't find a picture*

- Habitat: Multiple
- Rarity: Uncommon
- Dangel level: 6

Tips:
- Usually doesn't have a patient nearby
- Combat mostly at medium to long range

- Habitat: Multiple
- Rarity: Uncommon
- Dangel level: 7
- Tribe: None
- Class: Engineer

Combat Engi or Battle Engi is a creature that has evolved from a regular Engineer. It is known for being kinda annoying to fight against, placing their sentry in a cheecky spot and overall just being good at the game.
Can be recognised by using a Gunslinger instead of the wrench (mini sentries), usually a Widowmaker or Panic Attack as a primary and sometimes a wrangler as a secondary.

Tips:
- Turn around more often, expect a sentry in some random spot
- Target the buildings first, then the engineer, if using the wrangler do the opposite
[ Always works for me ]

- Habitat: Multiple
- Rarity: Rare
- Dangel level: 5
- Tribe: Annoying
- Class: Scout

- Habitat: Multiple
- Rarity: Rare
- Dangel level: 9
- Tribe: None
- Class: Sniper

This creature either knows how to abuse the wicked hitbox of an arrow, or just likes the medieval mode very much (too much). If the map you encounter them in has some choke points, and you see them there onse, expect to be spammed until the end of the game.
Their primary of choise is Huntsman or Fortified Compound, often wearing The Fruit Shoot cosmetics. Their playstyle is very agressive and your chansess against them depend mostly on your luck.

Tips:
- Will run out of ammo frequently and be vulnerable to practically anything
- One said that heavies are hardest to hit in the head

- Habitat: Multiple
- Rarity: Exceedingly Rare
- Dangel level: 8
- Tribe: Ground
- Class: Heavy

Did I mention Fatscout? Well, think of this as an upgraded version.

The observer is a creature that just stands in one place and does nothing. Nobody notices it, not like somebody can.

- Rarity: General
- Dangel level: 0
- Tribe: Friendly *i guess*
- Class: Multiple

They need to go to the toilet, to eat, to sleep, to touch grass (impossible) or to do whatever else except for playing the game. Not a single team will be complete without at leat one of these beautiful creatures. Their name came from the abreviation AFK (Away From Keyboard).
Some are just standing in spawn, and being autokicked after a short time. More advanced creatures write "+right" or "+left" in the console and get to stand for however long they like. Sometimes are kicked by their own team. You can find them everywhere: from your regular pub, to specific idle servers.

There are no actual tips for dealing with them, because they are not participating in the game.

- Habitat: Versus Saxton Hale mode
- Rarity: Extinct
- Dangel level: 1
- Tribe: Friendly
- Class: Pyro

Phrogs are pyros that became too friendly and defenseless, always crouching and using the wall climb mechanic to move. Just dying when actually have to fight Saxton because of their vulnerability and melee sentered playstyle (because of that went extinct).
You can recognise one by having a Back Scratcher as a melee weapon, usually a phlog as a primary and thermal thruster as a secondary, but rarely seen wielding anything except a melee.

Tips:
- They will not attack you
- If you are Saxton and fighting against them, they will likely killbing

*I couldn't find an immage (they are extinct)*

- Habitat: Multiple
- Rarity: General
- Dangel level: 1
- Tribe: Friendly
- Class: Multiple

You can often see them on comunity servers, but sometimes they appear in casual or even competetive (somebody plays that?). All they want is some hats. Rarely play the actual game.

- Habitat: Multiple
- Rarity: Rare
- Dangel level: 5
- Tribe: Annoying

These creatures are like tryhards, but less skilled and more annoying. Always screaming at medics, and usually in voice chat. Saying that they are god amongst man in the game, but actually dies more than anyone on the team.

- Habitat: Multiple
- Rarity: Uncommon
- Dangel level: 5
- Tribe: None
- Class: Multiple

These creatures evolved from regular animals, and became anthropomorphic. Generaly furries in my experiense are not so dangerous or skilled, in some situations can even be friendlies.
Can be recognised by an animal looking headwear on every class, usually fox (Head Prize).

- Habitat: Multiple
- Rarity: Rare
- Dangel level: 8
- Tribe: None
- Class: Pyro

This king of furries are especially good in the game. They have mastered the airblast, have good awareness and a never missing aim with flair guns.

Tips:
- The only tip i can give here is to use hitscan and fight from a distanse
- If you are a sniper wear the Darwin's Danger Sheild

- Habitat: Multiple
- Rarity: Uncommon

The Fat Scout, but using a primary (bullying fat scout is a tradition). Got it's name for the stealth playstyle creature tries to empliment, but fails sometimes (too fat).
Can be identified by having a Tomislav as a primary (no spinup sound), The Prinny Machete as a melee, Battle Balaclava and Esprit De Corps cosmetics

Tips:
- Pre-peek corners more often, expect a minigun reved up, waiting there

Speceal thanks: Rexcalibur

- Habitat: Multiple (mostly Halloween maps)
- Rarity: Rare
- Danger level: 6 - 10
- Tribe: None
- Class: Sniper

Got it's name from the cosmetics they're wearing. If found using the bow, they are just meming around. When using the rifle however, they will win the game whatever it takes.
Can be recognise by wearing the Mr.Shootsalot cosmetic, or in some cases Mr. Mundee's Wild Ride. They almost always have a really good aim and awareness. They don't always follow the sniper etiquette and may intentionally kill their targets with full charge bodyshots.

Tips:
- Try not to challenge their sightline when they are determined
- Ambushing them will be very hard

Special thanks: Rexcalibur
