All monsters have different '''attributes'''. These attributes govern every aspect of how the monster functions in-game – the monster's behavior, its toughness in combat, its special abilities, its resistances and vulnerabilities, and its general stats.

Most of the attributes for each individual monster are stored in the [https://github.com/crawl/crawl/blob/stone_soup-0.26/crawl-ref/source/mon-data.h mon-data.h] file in the ''Crawl'' [[source code]], in the following format:

row 1: monster id, display character, display colour, name
row 2: monster flags
row 3: monster resistance flags
row 4: experience modifier, genus, species, holiness, willpower
row 5: damage for each of four attacks
row 6: hit dice, hit points
row 7: AC, evasion, spells, corpse, shouts
row 8: intel, habitat, speed, energy_usage
row 9: gmon_use class, body size, body shape
row 10: tile, corpse

Many other monster properties are hardcoded into other parts of the source. For instance, [[negative energy resistance]] is not one of the "resistance flags" in mon-data; it is in [https://github.com/crawl/crawl/blob/stone_soup-0.26/crawl-ref/source/monster.cc monster.cc]:

int monster::res_negative_energy(bool intrinsic_only) const
{
// If you change this, also change get_mons_resists.
if (!(holiness() & MH_NATURAL))
return 3;
[additional checks for items w/ resistance]
}

The above means "if the monster is not [[natural]], it has 3 levels of negative energy resistance".

See [[:Category:Monster attributes]] for documentation of various attributes and lists of monsters with specific attributes.
