Top 12 Best Horror Games to Play on PC
Baboon Hawk

The Baboon Hawk is a curious creature as it tends to pick on players who are carrying loot. For this reason, it’s best to drop what you’re holding and run (particularly if there is a large group of them). That is unless you have a weapon and want to risk fending it off. There will usually be one or two outdoors during the day but this will increase to larger groups of four or five in the evening hours.
Bracken

The Bracken is a common jump scare in Lethal Company. This little terror will sneak up at you indoors and will usually run towards you if you look directly at its face. For this reason, try to avoid prolonged stares and move away from him.
Bunker Spider

Circuit Bees

Although it will take a while for Circuit Bees to sting you to death, they assuredly will if you don’t get away from them. That being said, there is currently no way to kill bees so your best bet is to just avoid them.
If you are feeling brave, an empty bee hive will usually sell for around 100 credits. To successfully get one you’ll need a team member to act as bait and get the bees to chase them whilst you pick up the hive. This is a risky tactic but can be worth it for the quota.
Coil-Head

The Coil-Head is Lethal Company’s version of a Weeping Angel (think Dr.Who). That being said, they are genuinely terrifying and the only way to save yourself from an encounter is to keep looking at them. They can only move for the kill if undetected.
It is possible to stun a Coil-Head with a Stun Grenade. Otherwise, they are immune to damage and your best chance for survival is slowly backing away, then running outdoors.
Earth Leviathan

The Earth Leviathan is like a Thresher Maw fromMass Effect. Essentially it’s a large worm that burrows underneath the ground. Luckily, you’ll usually receive a measure of warning before one attacks. It will cause a rumbling sound underneath the earth. Make sure you drop anything and run as these monsters are impervious to damage and will insta-kill.
Eyeless Dog

Forest Keeper

Forest Keepers prowl around outside and have excellent eyesight. These powerful specimens cannot be killed and will often provide an insta-death if you’re unfortunate enough to run into one. As such your best bet is to hide from them. Usually moving behind a tree is enough to buy yourself some time.
Luckily, these monsters cannot enter the ship so you can theoretically just run for it if you’re desperate. Otherwise, you can use a Laser Pointer to distract them or a Stun Grenade to slow them down.
Ghost Girl

Arguably the most terrifying of all monsters in Lethal Company is the Ghost Girl. This meddlesome child will ‘haunt’ a player, meaning they’ll hear her telltale giggles and heavy breathing. The only resistance to the Ghost Girl is to run away and abort the mission. After taking one crew member she will work her way through everyone until there are no survivors.
Hoarding Bug

Hygrodere

Jester

The horror of this next Lethal Company monster is time it takes to attack. When you first encounter the Jester it will appear as a jack-in-a-box on legs. Once it starts to wind itself up, you have a very limited time to act. When it releases its head and reveals its full form it will terrorise your teammates until you are all dead. For this reason, it’s best to run away and abort the mission if you see a Jester.
Manticoil

The Manticoil is one of the few creatures in Lethal Company that has no interest in killing you or your teammates. As a passive bird-like creature it won’t harm you nor provide you with any credits so you should just leave it alone.
Nutcracker

The Nutcracker will patrol, scouting levels for movement. When it pauses its route and lifts its head to reveal its secret eye, make sure you stop moving. The beast carries a shotgun which can be stolen whether it’s alive or dead. To do this, either pick it from its corpse or stun it first, then take it from its arms. It will try follow-up attacks so be on your guard.
Roaming Locusts

Snare Flea
Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Zeekerss
Although Snare Fleas can be killed relatively easily, once one has you in their grip there is no way to escape on your own. You’ll need a teammate to hit it with a Shovel to get it to release you. If playing solo, make sure you keep an eye on ceilings whilst collecting scrap indoors.
If trapped, you can also use the Teleporter to travel back to the ship. This will usually cause the Flea to release you.
Spore Lizard

SporeLizards are relatively harmless if left alone. They can release a cloud of gas, which will disorientate your vision. Apart from this, these little guys mostly just want to be left alone.
The Masked

The Masked is a creature that has possessed one of your teammates. The scare factor of this monster is that it will still appear as a player icon at the comms station. Be sure you’re communicating with your teammates, using Walkie-Talkies where possible.
If you see a player wearing a white mask approaching you with outstretched arms, simply run. Be warned though, these monsters can run too.
Thumper

The telltale thumping sounds of a Thumper are enough to send shivers down the spine of any Lethal Company player. These long-legged creatures will charge towards you in search of a meal. Luckily, these beasts cannot stop mid-charge and change direction so make sure you use sharp turns and stairwells to get away.
That rounds off our list of all monsters in Lethal Company and how to beat or altogether avoid them. With this information, you should hopefully be more prepared on your scrap run and make a nice profit for The Company.
