Monsters in the Mines

Regular floors

These are the regular monsters. On an infested floor the mix is slimes or a pile of monsters, and the floor has no rocks. Dangerous mines, after the Shrine of Challenge or during Danger in the Deep, swap in stronger variants and can add stacked slimes. The shrine's toggle waits until the next day.

What they change

Dust sprites on the frozen floors are a steady source of coal. Metal heads on floors 80–119 can drop copper ore, and on 81–119 they can drop iron ore. Ghosts have a 20% chance to drop 1–3 gold ore. Stone golems on floors 31–39 can also drop iron ore.

Killing a monster over an open tile is a 15% ladder. That is the energy-free way down. An infested floor still requires every monster, including buried duggies, before its ladder appears.

After floor 120, most monsters are stronger, and any monster can rarely drop a diamond or a Prismatic Shard.
