Section 1: Introduction
Hello, Fellow survivors! This guide will not be in depth, but it list every creature I have encountered and how to get out of dodge when things get hairy.

Picture's are pending, I still have to run into these things, after all!

Should I encounter or hear of new beasts I will update this guide once sufficient information is collected.

Section 2: ANGELS
Angels - These imposing former-friends are simple creatures, despite the harrowing sound they emit when unobserved. If you hear a horrible moaning approaching rapidly, know that you've been spotted!

As with all creatures in this guide, these beasts are at their most dangerous when you are alone. Bring a friend, and bring something sharp.

How to counter: Simply shining a bright light (like your flashlight) on an Angel will stun them. While stunned the Angel cannot move, as long as the light stays on them. This is your chance to end their suffering by promptly stabbing/beating/shooting it to death.


TLDR: Keep your flashlight on it.
Section 3: THE WARPED
THE WARPED: Another simple creature, these twisted beasts have been rendered deaf by the infection process, leaving their eyesight their only means of navigation and target acquisition. Warped can be identified by sound via the gurgling they emit once they have spotted their prey.

How to counter: Warped can only see, so staying out of their line of sight should be your main goal when encountering these beasts. Hiding behind furniture is you best bet, but when all else fails and you are spotted DO NOT run in a straight line. Warped pick up speed very quickly in a chase, so make quick turns around corners and BREAK LINE OF SIGHT

If you are a fighting spirit you should be reminded that these creatures are still mortal and can be killed. I would recommend sneaking up behind your target warped to begin your assault.

TLDR: Stay out of sight.
Section 4: CLACKERS
A quick renditionClackers: These creatures have been rendered blind by the fungal growths that have sprouted around their eyes and thus must rely on their sense of hearing.

How to counter: DO NOT RUN when a clacker is nearby, nor should you speak or shoot. These creatures can be distracted away via the use of decoys should they linger in a vital

These infected can be killed.

TLDR: Don't make a sound.
Section 5: THE INNOCENT
The Innocent: Infected Felines! Oh the horror! Yes, even the CATS are susceptible to the various plagues that infest us these days. Innocent are small and easy to miss in the heat of the moment and are a pest that can lead to a very panicked death. These little beasts spend their time wandering around until they find a good pony to latch onto and begin mauling.

How to counter: Simply do not let them latch onto you. If you spot one approaching and have a weapon in hand, Put these sorry little kitties down. It may be hard to kill an animal, but remember, they are in just as much pain as you are!

TLDR: Kill them before they kill you.
Section 6: DEMONS
Demons: These lumbering beasts are like the dark opposite to the Angel. Tall, dark, and NOT handsome. I will admit, I have not encountered these beasts on my own, and only know of them through secondhand account.

How to Counter: These beasts are attracted to light and enjoy wandering the dark halls of buildings. If one approaches you, simply turn off your flashlight and back away, it will leave you alone and wander way.
I do not know if these creatures can be killed. I am sorry.

TLDR: Turn off your light when it approaches.
Section 7: PHANTOMS
PHANTOMS: Deformed, Ugly beasts that simply wish to be pretty once again, by any means necessary...

How to counter:
Revised: Phantoms are driven mad by their new, warped bodies and faces, Being driven into a sorrowful rage should your gaze linger on their face for too long. Do not make eye contact. Should you meet the eyes of a phantom for too long it will begin to let loose a horrible, loud cry/song. If this happens you should immediately drop whatever task you have at hoof and RUN OUTSIDE, as soon the beast will begin to charge at you and deliver a powerful, fatal bite.
In addition: According to my fellow survivors, Phantoms will stalk you if they see you, stalking whichever pony they saw first. This behavior is harmless alone, with when paired with other infected that require direct attention, such as angels, this can become quite the nuisance.

Phantoms can be killed, but attacking one will cause it to immediately begin to cry and attack shortly after, so have a team with you to dispatch it quickly!

TLDR: Don't look, if you do, RUN.
Section 8: NIGHT CRAWLERS
NIGHT CRAWLERS: So, you've taken a little too long and now it's getting dark! This not not good because that's when THESE fellows come out to play! Night Crawlers are blind, the infection having taken their eyes, making them similar to the Clacker-type infected. Make no mistake though, these beasts are much more dangerous than your average clacker.

How to counter: Make as little sound as possible. Night Crawlers are sensitive to sound and are hyper-aggressive, Biting anything that dares make a peep in their presence. I would not recommend being bitten by these beasts, as their jaws are strong enough to bite you in half.
Use decoys to lure them away, make no sound, and do NOT speak.

TLDR: Don't make a sound.
Section 9: MONOLITHS
MONOLITHS: Tall, imposing pillars of flesh that can cause visual hallucinations in any non-infected nearby.

How to counter: Run away. This is the only advice I can really give, as I have only encountered this beast once and I did not wish to be exposed to it for long.

TLDR: Stay as far away from them as you can.

Demons will literally teleport and lock on to you even if you enter a vent, once it locks on, it doesn't let go, at least for my experience

Oh, another thing I noticed regarding phantoms. When they see you, they will follow you until they cannot anymore. If you are with a friend, they will follow whomever they saw "first" and completely ignore the other.
When my friend was being stalked by one, I was able to walk along side it and even collide with it with no penalty.
Their main danger other than looking them in the eyes and triggering them is if they block your path. You can't clip through them, so if they followed behind you and OOPS! Back away! There's an angel! It makes it extremely difficult to navigate around the barrier it creates.

As someone who just killed a Demon, I can safely say it's possible to put them down! Took 3 shotgun shells to the dome, though.

As for the innocent, my friend was able to get free of its grasp by going through a vent. It simply disappeared. When I tried it, though... It stayed on me. So it's something to try, but no guarantees.
I haven't tested it because it's easy to get split up, but I imagine that a friend would be able to bat it off of your head though.
