The Gloom is everything that comes for your lantern at night: the bugs, the elites and the bosses.
- Gnats: Small, quick and many. They come straight for your light.
- Moths: Zig-zag fliers that drift over rocks and water.
- Midges: A crossing swarm: they fly straight through the light and away.
- Beetles: Slow armoured tanks that shoulder smaller bugs aside.
- Spitters: They keep their distance and spit ink after a short wind-up.
- Inklings: Pop one and it splits into gnats.
- Dartflies: Fast interceptors that fly to where you will be, not where you are.
- Snipwings: Trail-cutters: they hunt your trail and snip a gap in it.
- Lacewings: They sense a loop forming around them and dart away from it.
- Rollers: They wind up behind a wedge, then charge in a straight line.
- Shellbacks: Armoured shells that shrug off half of what weapons throw at them.
- The Gloam Matriarch: The dawn boss of the Meadow, guarded by shield plates. She broods gnats and rains ink.
- Thornback: A charging mid-boss behind bark plates. Its bark shrugs off weapon fire. Loop it.
