General behaviour (AI)
- Enemies can have Hit & Flee (attack then run). - Between attacks, each type has different reactive behaviour (weave in/out, back off, etc.). - Charmed: charmed allies intercept enemies trying to target you; they can't be commanded to attack other allies. - After the boss bramble drops, the boss does not attack immediately; reacts if it sees you again shortly after. - Player Apex level is calculated from evolution types (not just level) and affects how likely some enemies are to attack you.

Naming (community)
- Clawdia and Pilferret / Spineapple are examples of names set by community vote or suggestion. - Names in other languages: e.g. Vacangrejo for Crabtaur (Spanish, suggested by Santi).
