The monster type of this table refers to the internal monster types, which in turn affects the monster resistances, armour rating and other parameters.

Abilities

In-game crustaceans usually resist fire damage, so does Waste Lurcher, Salt Lurcher and Blight Lurcher.

However, Brinecrack and Sulphurspawn resist cold damage.

While Craiceann, First of the Deep and Clobberclaw are map bosses which resists both elemental and chaos damage. Primal Crushclaw is a harvestable monster, which resists elemental damage.

Brinespawn does not have any resistance.
