Meet the monsters

Keep your friends close, keep your enemies closer. Here’s everything you need to know about the monsters before you arrive…

A red-faced and horned monster stares at the camera, surrounded by red mist. A tower mining structure illuminated in red stands behind the monster.
Grimsley

Grimsley's demonic face and tall stature make him one of the more intimidating monsters of the mine. He takes charge of the horde, often seen running after his victims and scheming evil plans with the other creatures. You don't want to get on Grimsley's bad side, it may very well be the last thing you ever do.

A horned monster with sharp teeth and small slitted eyes stands in front of a red mining tower structure, illuminated in eerie red lighting
Stub

Don't let those sharp teeth and jutting horns fool you, Stub is a silly monster with a clumsy disposition. His horns leave little space for big brains in that head of his, so you may catch Stub walking around aimlessly. Don't let your guard down though, he reacts to quick movement and loud noises, so watch your step if you cross his path.

A bird-like monster with blackened eyes stands menacingly in front of a tower mining structure, illuminated by eerie red lights
Peck

Once a faithful companion to the coal miners, Peck spent his days deep beneath the earth, warning them of poisonous air and unseen dangers. Abandoned in the depths and twisted by the evils lurking below, his golden feathers blackened, his song became a shriek, and his once-trustworthy eyes burn with malice. Now, Peck is the danger.

A monster with two claws wrapped around its head stands with outstretched arms in front of a zip line at night, illuminated by atmospheric green light.
Claw

A twisted creature with two enormous, razor-sharp hands growing directly from his head. Claw roams the mine with a vengeance, scraping his talons against the stone walls as he searches for unsuspecting victims. No one knows where he came from, but miners whisper that the sound of claws scraping in the darkness means it's already too late to escape.

A horned creature with a red eye on its forehead, wearing a fur coat, looks down on the camera whilst standing in front of red-illuminated adventure structures.
The Oracle

The Oracle is a creature of great power that reveals terrible truths, predicts deaths, and knows things no one else should know. It's aware of every person who steps foot into its mine, and can foresee their fates - but will only tell the truth for a steep price. Approach The Oracle with caution, it is older than the mine itself.

A bald-headed monster with a round mouth full of rows of sharp teeth stands before an eerily-illuminated zip line and forest.
Drogg

An underworld water-dweller who's ascended straight from Llyn Fawr's depths - Drogg has joined the monster horde in search of fresh food to feast on. Those rows of pointy teeth can easily rip through flesh and bone, so keep a safe distance, especially at dinner time.

A horned monster with small slitted eyes wearing a fur coat stands in front of a large, brightly-illuminated climbing course.
Tauro

Built for charging and destruction, Tauro smashes through anything that dares stand in his way. The sound of heavy footsteps and scraping horns echoes through the park long before he appears. Once Tauro sets his sights on a target, he never stops hunting until it's crushed beneath his horns.

A blue-skinned creature with blackened eyes and horns growing out of its head stands angrily in front of an illuminated climbing frame structure.
Maul

Maul is a feisty creature covered in short, jagged spikes that protrude from his head. Maul has relentless energy and an unpredictable nature. He darts around the park, scaring his victims senseless, and simply does not yield. Those who underestimate Maul rarely get a second chance.

A noseless, snarling monster in a fur gilet stands before a stack of hay.
Wretch

Wretch is a sly and cunning creature that lurks in the shadows, watching and waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Rather than relying on brute strength, he uses deception and trickery to lure his victims into carefully laid traps. He knows the mine's twisting tunnels better than anyone and can disappear without a trace whenever he wants to.

A monster with sharp, blood-stained teeth stands before the Zip World Tower entrance.
Y Pwca

Famous in Welsh folklore for his razor-sharp teeth and shapeshifting abilities, Y Pwca will have you screaming, running and hiding for dear life as he prowls the mine. The blood of his victims drips down his chin, and those big pointy ears can hear you coming a mile off, even when you whisper and tip-toe.
