A monster in Content Warning

Monsters in Content Warning can help you get famous on SpookTube, but if you get caught, there’s a high chance that you won’t survive. So here are all the monsters in the game and how you can escape them.

Content Warning doesn’t have an official bestiary like Lethal Company or Phasmophobia, so players have been coming up with names for the scary things they see while playing.  

Even though there is no official list, we do know how to get away from monsters and identify the ones we have found so far.

So, here is every monster in Content Warning, what they look like, and how to survive every encounter.

How to escape every monster in Content Warning 

Each monster in Content Warning has a different technique to make sure you escape them. Here’s how you can do so:

  • Bird Brain: Avoid shining light at it and it won’t detect you. In case it does, use your shock stick to stun it.
  • Black Hole Drone: Keep moving to prevent it from landing close to you. If it lands, just start moving again.
  • Blinking Waldo: Put some distance between yourself and the creature, and it will completely ignore you.
  • Blob: The creature is not hostile, so you don’t need to worry about it. In case you spot it, be sure to film it, but don’t touch it.
  • Catchya machine: Solve the CAPTCHA
  • Doppelganger: Since it resembles a player, try talking to it. If it’s a Doppleganger, it won’t answer back. It’s not lethal, so you don’t need to escape from it.
  • Ear Creature: Scream or talk loudly to the creature through your microphone and it’ll run away.
  • Fire Fungus (Fire Horse): Run away from the area if it spots you.
  • Flicker: Break line of sight if it has spotted you and move to the opposite direction, or just look downwards and it’ll ignore you.
  • Ghost Child: Shock it using a Shock Stick.
  • Harpooner: Either attach yourself to something else, or attack it with a shock stick.
  • Little Guy (Mouthe): Do not back this creature into a corner, or shock him. Just run away if you spot it because they spawn in groups.
  • Machine Gun Dog: Break line of sight by hiding in a room or behind a wall for a short while.
  • McGrab “Grabber” Face: Climb on anything that doesn’t have an incline. Since this monster doesn’t have legs, it won’t be able to climb on anything that doesn’t have an inclined plane attached to it.
  • Mixer man: Either break the line of sight or dodge his attacks when he tries to hit you.
  • Phantom Thieves: Shine a light on it.
  • Snail Creatures (Snail-Zombies): Sprint and jump away from it, or shock it with a Shock Stick.
  • Spider: Sprint out of the web to escape.
  • Spider Mine: Don’t press the button, and just ignore it.
  • Starfish: Throw something at it so that it drops the player its caught. Alternatively, it’s completely visible in the light so shine your light on the ceiling to spot it.
  • Stream Murderer(stream sniper): You can spot this enemy through its audio cues, so if you’ve heard one coming towards you, turn around and leave the area.
  • The Bomber Man: Run far away from the creature while dodging the bombs it throws at you.
  • The Destroyer: Try to stay away from this creature as much as you can because it’s very lethal and can damage you even when you’re inside the diving bell in Content Warning.
  • The Titan: Avoid it as much as you can by breaking the line of sight.
  • The Turtle: Find and stand on high ground for 20-30 seconds and the creature will leave you alone.
  • Unknown Entity: Don’t pick up the statues. In case you’ve picked one up and you’re floating in air, have a team member throw you the other one till you come down.
  • Worm (Leech): It’s a slow-moving creature so run away as fast as you can.

The most important thing to remember when you’re dealing with monsters in Content Warning is that you need to run away, and if one spawns on top of you, make sure to try and jump over it or run in the opposite direction. If you’re playing with friends, just make sure you take your camera back if one of you dies.
