Champions

(sometimes known in-game as "elite enemies" or "elites") are larger and more powerful version of enemies. They are more common in Badass Mode. They will always drop gold and energy (except for Phantoms and Crystal Beetles, which never drop gold), and are more likely to drop Materials on defeat (if they have a drop).
Champions are larger than usual, has a purple aura, and use upgraded attacks. Some Champions may even have extra attacks that do not appear on normal versions.
Bosses may also appear as Champions. They are bigger in size, attack more frequently, have 25% more health (rounding varies with each boss), and drop more Materials on defeat but have the same attacks.
* In Badass Mode, Boss Rush Mode, or under the condition, they will always be Champions.
== All-Champions Room ==
These rooms are indicated by red entrances (since Update 1.5.1) and a big yellow exclamation mark in the minimap (since Update 1.6.0), and will not appear in the shortest path to the exit.
 
While these rooms are dangerous, chests containing weapons will appear to reward those wiping all the Champion enemies. The chests can be blue or golden .
* More reward chests will appear in Multiplayer, reflecting the number of players in the match.
* Since Update 1.8.2, another green chest will also appear as a reward.
== Trivia ==
* Before Update 1.8.2, only some enemies could be Champions. This lead to some strange situations, like a Champion room in 3-1 having only Elite Mummy (Staff), making the room extremely easy as these enemies don't do any damage.
* Usually, a level with 2 exclamation marks must have a Champion room.
** If the condition is activated, a level with 3 exclamation mark rooms will have one.
