Below is our bestiary for Rune Factory 5. Please note that enemy threat can be determined at a glance. To check, lock onto them and look at the color of the enemy’s name. White is roughly same level, yellow means a challenging opponent and red means a dire foe. Also, while there may be the same type/species of enemy in the same zone, their location can make a large difference in their strength. Be prudent when fighting enemies and retreat if necessary.
