Y-Type — every monster
Who they are, how much it takes to kill them, how they hurt you and which stage they live in. The numbers are not typed by hand: a program reads them out of the game engine, so this page cannot claim a different health than the real one.
Stage 1 — Shipyard ★
Scrolls at 2.8 cells a second. The squad is 9 monsters, 4 different faces.
Flies straight and fast, right to left.

Walks the floor and jumps now and then.
Fires the rifle it holds out in front.
