Gauntlet™: Slayer Edition Lexicon
By champster
Greetings! This guide is intended for new and old fans of the game, Gauntlet: Slayer Edition.

I've manually written down the terms/words (terminologies) that I found in-game, on the Steam page for the game, Wiki online[gauntlet.gamepedia.com], and, thanks to the game's enemy designer Nils Hansson Bjerke and the rest of the Arrowhead team (on Facebook), "we" as a community have been provided with the official names of the monsters. Here they are.

Note: This doesn't have pictures as they're already widely available elsewhere and a lot here are self-explanatory. If you're not comfortable with spoilers then you should turn away now as this has some.

"Do you know what this is?! The summoning spell of the Gauntlet! I can open it with this!"

Would have included some of the fun facts from the comic book but... I'm not sure if such would be appropriate here.

You're welcome. For the official names of the monsters, it's Arrowhead Game Studios that gave me the detailed information. Thanks to them too. :Gauntlet_Chest:
