Should we create a Shufflebot page? And what is with the extra gremlin pics? -xPlad

Need more info/pics!

As usual, monster screenshots should be 128px by 128px. Screenshots for the different tier versions should be named like:

• Monster-Gremlin Demo.png (no numbers for Tier 1 because of template usage and we don't want to reupload all of them to rename them)
• Monster-Gremlin Demo 2.png
• Monster-Gremlin Demo 3.png

If the no number version image is not the Tier 1 version, it should be reuploaded (image issues still apply though).

I haven't done all the links or added all the tier version image names; you can hit edit to see an example of the formatting for those (Gremlin Demo has the example for the linkage/text for the different tier versions).

If you're interested, dive right in, but maybe put a note here if you're working on a certain monster's screenshots so that folks don't duplicate efforts. Questions can also be left here. I'll be doing another subpage for other things (like objects in Clockworks) as this one is already going to be long with just creatures. --Equinox 21:54, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

whear bul cromalisk?-xPlad(note: intentional misspelling is intentional)

Assuming you're not up-to-date with the monster pages, the Bull Chromalisk is the Tier 3 version of the ordinary Chromalisk/Chroma Whelp. If you're joking around, please note that talk pages should be taken more seriously. Saphykun 16:54, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

I will be trying to get the T1 and T2 polyp pics done (I am assuming the ones I don't see are T3 such as the Caustic Polyp one). I would of had a few if it wasn't for Linux making my folder a file.Jeffreysgf 20:52, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

Am I allowed to retrieve the model files from the Spiral Knights install location and run them in Blender in order to generate them in 3D on a plain background without clutter? Like this: Minecraft Blender Rendering of a cow from model files Or would that be against terms of service? --HexZyle 04:06, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

Tier versions of monsters

Some monsters in the monster templates are higher tiered versions of their type, most notably in the Chromalisk page. wat do we doooooo

Here's a compiled list of monsters that do not have the tier 1 version in their page:

Chromalisk

• All Chromalisk images are taken from Tier 2 or higher.

Wolver

I'm going to go out and say that all Wolver images are taken from Tier 2 or higher, because the differences appear really subtle to me.

Gun Puppy

• Sparky
• Slush Puppy

Mecha Knight

• Mecha Knight

Lumber

• Silversap
• Electreant (unsure)

Again, the differences are fairly subtle.

Retrode

• Retrode
• Hotrode (the contrast between colors is too striking for it to be Tier 1)

Deadly Virulisk

Er, it just occurred to me... are Deadly Virulisks under the same family as Virulisks? I know Chroma Whelps are technically Tier 1 versions of Chromalisks, but under a different name. I wonder if it's the same with the Virulisks. Saphykun 01:46, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

Chroma Whelps are actually separate from the 3 tier versions of Chromalisks. And yes, remove Deadly Virulisk as it's just Virulisk. --Equinox 02:32, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

Trojans

Im pretty sure there are atleast 2 types of trojan, in Firestorm Citadel there are lighter white/yellow coloured trojans with a diffrent sword. I'd go and take a picture of one, but I dont have the paitence to do a Firestorm Citadel run at the moment.

If I remember correctly, there was a Golden Trojan implemented into the game, similarly to a Golden Gun Puppy. I am not sure if these monsters are still in game, or if the developers decided to remove it. (Most likely the enemy has been removed.) --Vermilionshadow 04:35, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

Jelly Cubes

I've seen a monster that looks like the tier 3 jelly cube picture but appears in the royal jelly palace, in tier 2. What exactly does it mean for monsters to be "different tiers of the same monster"? --Antistone 20:12, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

It means they are a higher power version. Typically you will only see T2 things in T2, however there are exceptions, such as boss runs and danger rooms (not sure about that one). There are the higher level jellies in the Royal Jelly run to make it more challenging.Jeffreysgf 20:50, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

Construct Classifications

Hey, just wanted to say that you can tell the tier of a mecha knight/retrode/scuttlebot in a pic at a single glance. Simply look at the skeleton-ish frame thingy, or in the case of scuttlebots, at the beams connecting the peg legs to the main body. Brownish green-T1 Brown-T2 Dark purple:T3 Hope this helps.--XPlad 14:12, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

Drones

still have to be added to the page. I'll see if I can get around to it, but if one of you guys do it first that would be great XD --HexZyle 02:00, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

Organization

Hi all, I just did a major reorganization of this page. I was looking for tier 3 chroma pics and got really frustrated with the old organization. Hopefully it makes sense and y'all like it! --Earthsprite 16:15, 22 March, 2012

Epic! The view changes page was huge, but i guess the page always was a bit messy --HexZyle 21:51, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

Sorting for Gremlins

I just finished sorting the gremlin sorting. However, as read here, I'm not sure if the Incinerator should be in the Scorcher section or the Crimson Order section, or both. It would fit in both, IMO. --AutoFire 17:31, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
