The threat level of a monster is a rough indicator of how difficult/dangerous a monster is. This information is accessible through the monster list at the right side of the screen, or in the monster's descriptions. When Ashenzari detects a monster, you'll see their threat level (but not the type of monster). Threat is also used for a few other mechanics throughout the game (such as tension).
The game defines four tiers of threat:
| Threat level | Monster's name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Trivial | Dark grey | "It looks harmless." |
| Easy | Light grey | "It looks easy." |
| Tough | Yellow | "It looks dangerous." |
| Nasty | Light red | "It looks extremely dangerous." |
Formula
Threat is based off two factors: a monster's XP value, and the player's current experience points.
Tension = Monster's XP points / ( 1 + sqrt(Player's XP points / 30))
If Tension is less than 1, Threat = Trivial Else if Tension is less than 6, Threat = Easy Else if Tension is less than 33, Threat = Tough Else, Threat = Nasty
This means that for any species with an experience aptitude of 0, a monster that gives 5582 XP or more will always be labeled nasty.
