Disclaimer:levels of mobs will not be taken into account since that would complicated the scaling of some mobs so they will be taken based off context clues (things like stick bug challenge, robo bear challenge, windy bee, etc...)
This is not depicted on how strong they are towards the player but instead how strong they are when faced against eachother.
These are for each individual mob meaning the challenges don't count.
Finally this is fully my opinion on how strong I think they would be and you could totally prove me wrong in the replies. With that being said let's rank em
28: Stick nymph
Being the The smallest man on this list it's main strength comes from sheer numbers, without that they are actually fodder.
27: ant
This againg just comes down too numbers and past that they are pretty pointless
26: Ladybug
Weakest of the main mobs and with good reason seeing as most things in the game can beat it.
25: Army ant
Not much stronger than regular ant but still has a slight edge in size.
24: Flying ant
Faster then all the other ants, even though it's in the name i don't know whether it actually flies or not so you could say it's slightly higher.
23: Rhino beetle
Beetles are actually pretty strong but in the grand scheme of things it's not strong by much at all.
22: Fire ant
Just like a normal ant but it leaves a trail of fire which can be deadly though i don't think it'll help it that much.
21: Aphid
Not a very strong mob though kinda rare mob, not very high on the list
20: Rage aphid
Aphid but now it's angry I guess
19: Diamond aphid
It's made of a harder material so it has an edge
18: Cogmower
It actually took my a minute to figure out weather i should put it higher or not but just based off the size I think this is a comfortable spot for it but it could definitely go higher.
17: Armored aphid
final aphid of the list and honestly it actually has a slightly good standing seeing as it's made of metal
16: spider
Is larger then most other id not all mobs before it so it should be able to just pick em up and throw em around with its mouth.
15: mantis
Very debateable whether or not it beats spider but I sided in its favor since it actually has arms it's can use
14: Scorpion
I was wondering whether or nothing should put it over mantis but I feel that it's sharp tail gives it an advantage as Scorpion tails move to sting very fast
13: Cogturret
I was again wondering where I should put this thing since it can go underground but it only fires in one direction, I'll put it here for now but it very well.could change
12: giant ant
I feel this decision was hard but after thinking it over i think that giant ant should go in this spot, it's a normal ant but it's size is the leading factor in it's strength.
11: Werewolf
I think it's claws, muscles, and the fact it can jump pretty high has allowed it to accel above the rest up to this point.
10: Mechsquito
This thing is super high on the list and the only reason it's up here is because it can fly and shoot down at all previous mobs who have no real way to reach it
9: Commando chick
A chick that's able to throw grenades and is pretty speedy. That's got it at a pretty high standing compared to everything before.
8: King beetle
The first boss of the list, he has a barrier around him increasing his overall defense but it can be broken. He's a lot stronger however then everything before this seeing as panda bear struggled against it in their battle as said in his diologue.
7: stump snail
Very controversial take but the only thing stump snail has going for it is it's massive amount of durability, but if you wanted to put this thing waaaaaay lower I actually wouldn't blame you.
6: Mondo chick
A ginormous chick that is pretty slippery and is able to go in its shell for defense if needed.
5: Stick bug
Stick bug is actually pretty powerful on his own being able to attack and make defense totems that make him more durable. He's also pretty fast meaning slow moving mobs would have a hard time catching up.
4: vicous bee
A rouge vicous bee is actually pretty deadly seeing as most npcs in the game don't wanna mess with it at all, And it can fly aswell.
3: Tunnel bear
This guy could very well be higher but I decided to place him here for now. He kinda just points at the player and they just die so I don't know really how he attacks but I do know he does some serious damage putting him very high up
2: windy bee
From spirit bear diologue windy bee is VERY fast and can summon full tornados at will, its also able to blow a high power blast of wind that can send anything Flying and it gave prime spirit bear a run for her money.
Last but not least the strongest mob in my opinion is...
1: coconut crab
It's a mechanical crab that's huge, its able to extend its arms out very far and is able to summon giant coconuts that fall from the sky. It's in my opinion the most powerful mob in the game
Thats all the mobs (atleast the ones I know of) in the game listed. The choices here are were a lot harder in my opinion so I definitely feel like some changes are gonna happen later. But again tell me if you think that some placments should change and why. Have a nice day!
(I did not add the retro swarm mobs as I dont really count them and they are boring anyway)
