Monsters (怪物, Kaibutsu) in Enigma serve as enemies for players to fight. According to the game's background story, these creatures were created to protect the Holy Land from intruders.
Though few in number, some of them are devastating enough on their own. It should be noted that monsters may accidentally damage one another to the point of death, so it may be wise to fight in narrow spaces depending on the situation.
Male monsters are voiced by Nozomu Maruyama while female ones are done by Fuko Shinomiya.
