There is also a nasty one with multiple snakes on it's body, probably a medusa, poisons etc.
There are also magna golems, fire elementals, air elementals, flying squids and same fire-dudes as in LoG1.

Boss list should also have a dragon and the island master in it :)

Rat Swarm - you can melee attack these as long as they're in the square in front of you.

Walking Boulders are immune to Water and Earth spells.

Ogres will immediately make a slashing attack if they end their charge standing next to you.

A few more monsters:

Fire Wraith (LOG1): Floats around and throws fireballs. Heals from fire-based attacks. (Probably vulnerable to Water spells.)

Pink octopus: A flying octopus with one glowing red eye that loves to shoot Dark Bolt at you which does minor damage but blurs your vision. (It can also shoot it from its behind!)

Beneath are some of the tougher monsters:
SpoilerShow
Serpent Librarian: Creepy. One of the tougher enemies in the game. Spits a hail of poison bolts at a distance.

Air Elemental: A green-yellowish swarm that faintly resembles a Wraith. Is immune to all damage except Etheral, use the Etheral Dagger or the Dispel spell to kill them.

Fire Elemental: A fiery shape resembling a crowern, these are the second fastest enemy in the game, behind the insect swarm. They'll do kamikaze runs at you and do tons of damage, but a lucky Dispel spell can kill them first for 275 XP.

Mimic: Except for its sneak attack and surprising appearance, the Mimic is just a medium-strength monster.

Magma Golem: The slowest enemy in the game, but also the toughest non-boss enemy and the hardest hitting one. It hits multiple squares at once, can also attack at range, and that ranged attack will also hit several squares (Incoming!). Immune to fire. Try to attack it from behind, as it has "spinning attack" similar to the Walking Boulders.
Here be boss monsters:
SpoilerShow
Lindworm: The final boss of the game. Usually just sits there under its shield while summoning minions to do his dirty work. Will melee attack if party gets too close, though. Eventually he'll lower the shield to attack, attacks include a charging attack that covers 3 squares and kills his own minions and a Freezing Shards spell measuring 3 squares long and 3 squares wide. When he raises the shield again he summons a new group of minions. Engage from a distance once the shield is down, keep a healthy distance. Oh, and it LOVES to smacktalk. :)

Trickster: He'll try to keep his distance from you, don't let him. If you keep him in an adjacent diagonal square you can usually land in a few good blows once he decides where he'll go. If you can't keep him close just take potshots at him from a distance while avoiding his bombs. You'll run into him several times, only the last encounter offers anything different (won't spoil that for you).
And finally...
SpoilerShow
Island Master: The final FINAL boss of the game. He whizzes around at blinding speeds, spams all kinds of spells, loves to put up a shield and can summon 2 clones of himself to aid him. The clones never put up a shield and have roughly 100 HP each, otherwise they act just like him. As for the original, try to shake off his clones and approach him without getting in his line of fire. Getting in his face is often fatal but a distance of 2-3 squares usually makes him try to whizz past you and melee you, his melee doesn't do much damage but it has knockback, try to use the pause in spellspam to your advantage and hit him with your best shot.

Bombs also work well on rat swarms
It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

Is there any particular strategy for this boss? My level 14 champions keep on dying at the "fire" stage and he's still around 50% of health. :(

his shield fades after you kill MOST of the minions he summons.

tip: leave a couple of minions. his shield will fade, then ignore the minions and attack. keep dodging to flank him, and make your attacks count. use rage potions and speed potions if you have them.

if the minions are giving you problems early, move to a corner railing so you don't get surrounded by them. meteor storm is great for the early waves.

if you get to the fire wave? yeah, you're not doing damage to the boss fast enough. you shouldn't even let it get that far. you should be able to kill him before the second wave is done. I disagree with the "attack from distance" advice. your melee guys have the strongest attacks late game. get up in his grill and pound that sucker. he's big and slow, so you can dodge around him to flank attack.

...oh, one more thing...

that isn't the final boss.

this boss is the easy one.

muhahahaha.

lightning bombs work great on golems and fire elementals as well, often times taking them out in a single hit.

very useful when you pick up "Bane" in the cemetary.

Possible big spoiler
SpoilerShow
Does the Dragon boss drop a power gem or should you already have all 20 before you fight him? I have 19 of 20 and can't find the last gem anywhere.
Thanks,

Moogoo

NEVERMIND - I found it.

Can't kill him even with lots of potions, cannon, melee attacks or anything else. I did try more than ten times and won't try again. It's only brutal force -- and it's no fun at all. In LOG 1 you always had a way to retreat, same in the original Dungeon Master. Here you're basically in an arena without anything to help you and he's calling endless waves of new minions. He has no weaknesses or trick you can use. That's definitely not fun.
