Size

Just like Heroes, Enemies in Darkest Dungeon are arranged into four slots, or ranks. Most enemies occupy a single rank. However, some enemies may be larger, with some Bosses even occupying all four ranks.

The following rules apply regarding multi-rank (size 2+) enemies:

• An enemy is affected by an attack on any of the ranks that they occupy.
• Attacks that affect multiple ranks will only affect multi-rank enemies once. For example, large enemies will not receive double damage from an attack hitting both of their ranks.
• Bonuses against size 2 enemies will also affect size 3 and size 4 monsters.

Size	Notes
Small/Average	Occupies one rank. The vast majority of enemies belong to this category.
Large	Occupies two ranks. Can appear in any normal combat encounter. Large enemies become more common in Veteran and Champion missions.
Gigantic	Occupies three ranks. Some bosses have this size.
Unimaginable	Occupies all four ranks. Some major bosses have this size.
