	* Hoppers: hoppers bounce around with a fairly simple hop algorithm, which gives them surprising pathfinding properties (they can navigate some rooms far better than other mobs). There are also hop mothers, which are hoppers... that spawn more hoppers.

	* Lasers: the stupid evil triangles of hate. The irrevocably cruel monsters of mobdom. Once a moderately fun mob with a few low-energy stationary lasers, now they are quick-charging pulsed-laser monsters that can end an unsuspecting run. The only consolation is that they have terrible aim.<br>Show no mercy to lasers. They wouldn't hesitate to kill you.<br>Did I mention they can kamikaze you to eat the tiny remains of your health after burning you mercilessly with their lasers? Yeah. They can do that.		* Lasers: the stupid evil triangles of hate. The irrevocably cruel monsters of mobdom.

	* LaserLayers: ~~these~~ mobs cast random lasers through the map that persist for a few seconds and intersect with the player. If the player is unable to get out of the way in the ample charging animation, they will be punished with a light sting.

	* Exploders: contrary to their name, they don't explode: instead, they do collision damage on contact, and annhilate. These stupid red squares are harmless enough that you can ignore them, which is good, because there tend to be a ''lot'' of them. Their larger variants are legitimately harmful and should be killed immediately.		* Exploders: contrary to their name, they don't explode: instead, they do collision damage on contact, and annhilate.

They're not particularly threatening.		* Growers: growers spend most of their time as inert, weak, but hard-to-hit condensed shapes, until they see the player and ''grow'' to 4-5x their starting size and drift closer for collision damage.

	* Focusers: focusers fire a long-range beam that they slowly focus onto the player until it's condensed enough to do damage. Mostly just annoying. The easiest way to fight them is to not stand still in the open for prolonged periods of time when you see the very obvious focusing animation.		* Focusers: focusers fire a long-range beam that they slowly focus onto the player until it's condensed enough to do damage.

	== Boss Types ==		== Boss Types ==

	* ~~PowerUp Boss~~		* Power up thief: There are two variants - a solid version which respects walls and a ghost version which does not care about walls but cares about blocks - which take as many powerups in the level as they can and store them on their vertices. Upon collision with the player steal a random tech. Furthermore, instead of dying, they get rid of one of their vertices and sides and resurrect until they are killed as a triangle. They drop no additional powerups besides what they spawn with.
			* LaserLayerBoss: Basically a bigger version of the laser layer with invulnerability every 1/4 health drained. Also, their lasers are laid in an X shape and can appear ANYWHERE ON THE MAP.
			* LaserShellBoss (I can't remember the real name): Slowly projects lasers in such a way that effectively rotates it. Mildly annoying.
			* StabberBoss: A hexagonal Springer which has a sextet of Stabbers for protection.
			* BigSlasher: Has invulnerability when it emits its laser sword
			* BigSucker: occasionally shoots out random purple damaging orbs. (Exclusive to the Aerie map)
			* GatlingBoss: A Laser with better aim and a quirk - when it has the player in its sights, it begins firing a holy crap ton of bombs at the player.
			* BigSneaker: A larger Sneaker which takes multiple attempts to kill because it teleports when its health is 0. Also spawns smaller Sneakers as backup.
			* GrowerSwarm: Unlike Growers, these guys grow only when one of their own is killed. They also get faster.
			* GrowerSwarm2: Constantly regenerates health and splits randomly or upon player collision.
			* DragonflyBoss: Two variants: a regular Flutter and a pink Starter. The latter shoots projectiles. Both are invulnerable until the tail is severed.
			* BigPulsar: giant purple Pulsar, need I say more?
			* ExploderSwarm: A large group of hollow red squares which only counts as dead when the last is defeated. When alive, they allow any mobs that are alive to split into small Exploders upon death.
			* LauncherBoss: Hexagonal Launcher that shoots small projectiles
