Brutal, tactical and highly responsive, the combat system of The Witcher should elevate skirmish mechanics to an entirely different level. You will be able to smash foes into walls and use the environment to your advantage one on one or seamlessly switch from one enemy to another to beat the countless opponents in the game. But what will you do when you get jumped up by the skeleton ghost from the picture above?! Sh*t pants, that's what..
Since there is not much official information given regarding all of the monsters from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, we made our "monsters compilation" with both, known, and unknown monsters we've been able to see from official sources. Let's take a look, and don't worry - they don't bite.
Werewolf
Neither animal nor a man, the Werewolf takes the worst from both species: the bloodlust and primal nature of a wolf, and the ruthlessness and cruelty of a human. Werewolves are creatures of the night and they are especially active during the full moon. They usually go hunting alone, as there rarely is an opponent that can match their strength, agility and fast health regeneration.
Griffin
Griffin
The griffin looks like a combination of a ferocious cat and a giant bird. Griffins are tough opponents and their strength should not be underestimated. Obstinate and aggressive, they make deadly use of their ability to fly during combat, swooping down on their enemies, knocking them to the ground and ripping them to shreds with their claws and beak.
Foglet
Foglet
Foglets can appear wherever thick fog arises: swamplands, mountain passes or the shores of rivers and lakes, and they can even create or summon it themselves. Their bodies emit a pale light they use to lure those lost in the fog towards the ravines, swamps or caves in which they make their lairs. Since Foglets can take on immaterial form, a slight shimmer of air or a rustle in the grass might be the only clues a witcher has to their location.

Leshen
A mighty and terrifying guardian, immune to human steel, it is believed the Leshen is nature’s way of protecting the forest and the animals that live within it from the threat humans started to pose upon their ravaging expansion deeper into the lands. With slow but deadly attacks, this creature can heal other woodland animals and summon nekkers or crows to protect the forest.
Wild Hunt
Wild Hunt
Their origin unknown, these ghastly riders instilled fear in the hearts of men and are believed to be capable of stealing people’s spirits, that would later on be joined to the ominous cavalcade. Capable of destroying entire settlements overnight, the Wild Hunt is a force deadlier than anything the Witcher has ever faced.
