## Main Story Quest Enemies

### The Evil Pugomancer

Chloe, AKA the Evil Pugomancer, is a pug and an evil mage, the archvillain of the main story. She poses a constant threat to the guild and its Allies, attacking in battle with her magic staff as well as devising machines and artifacts powered by magic. Her stronghold is a tower surrounded by a high wall.

### War Golems

War golems are powerful machines created by the Pugomancer and powered by magic. They do not actually appear in either story or battle scenes but the heroes encounter golems several times during the campaign.

## Event Quest Storyline Enemies

### Romulus The Vile

Romulus the Vile was a wolf warlock of ancient times who plagued the land that became Catania, said by Conan to be "even worse" than the Evil Pugomancer. This history is revealed in the Anniversary 2019 Quest. He was said to have destroyed "all the eastern clans," but he and his forces were eventually defeated after the remaining clans combined their efforts under the leadership of King Basil. Romulus himself was defeated by Basil when the latter destroyed the former's magical orb, the source of his power, causing Romulus to disintegrate. His stronghold was a castle that had big spiked walls, through a secret tunnel led to its interior.

### Hubert the Cat

Hubert the Cat is not a character but rather a cursed doll created by Nicholas the Vile as one of his annual schemes to ruin the holiday in the Purrismas 2020 Quest. He produces hundreds of thousands of them to spread the curse, which gives adult cats an insatiable need to acquire Hubert dolls and love them more than anything else. It falls to the guild's kittens to dispel the curse and help save Purrismas.

### Remus

Remus, a wolf descended from Romulus the Vile, appears in the Summer 2022 Quest seeking revenge on the king of Catania and the guild for their ancestors' roles in destroying Romulus. Like his forebear, Remus uses dark energy powered by a magical orb that is in the end destroyed by the guild's heroes.

### Agent Skinner

Agent Skinner of the Catanian Bureau of Investigations arrives at the guild in the Halloween 2022 Quest in pursuit of Mortimer, an alien spacecat who had just crash-landed nearby. The guild pulls out all the stops to prevent Skinner from apprehending their new friend.

## In-Battle Enemies

### Dragons

Fire-breathing dragons were added to the game in December 2018, with version 2.3.2. They have curved horns, spikes down their backs and long tails, and half-transparent wings. They also lack front legs, meaning they are technically wyverns rather than dragons. They exist in three different color variants: turquoise, blue and bright red.

### Tigers

Tigers exist in two different color combinations: white and gray, and beige and dark brown. They sometimes wear red armor or some sort of cybernetic wings. In reference to the tigers, Robin, a PocApp Studios developaw who writes the stories, has said: "Both cats and dogs live in Catania. All dogs are not evil and not all cats are good. The Evil Pugomancer is very persuasive (and scary!)" Another *Castle Cats* developaw said of the tigers: "They weren't always evil. The Pugomancer has them under a spell."

### Tree Monsters

Tree Monsters look humanoid and seem powered by magic. They exist in four different versions: green, red, a ghostly blue-gray for Halloween, and a snowy white and blue Purrismas variant. They attack in battle by punching the ground with huge fists, creating cracks that disperse toward the heroes.

### Wolves

Wolves have glowing eyes and sometimes wear armor.

### Zombie Dogs

Zombies look like shorthair Chihuahuas, raised from the dead and sometimes stitched together. They exist in seven different versions. Special zombies, dressed as witches and vampires, appear during the Halloween Events. They can also be seen sporting Santa hats during the Purrismas Events.

## Discontinued Enemies

An early version of the game included two enemies that have since been removed: a rat and an older version of a canine enemy.

## Trivia

* Hubert became wildly popular within the game's fandom.
	+ On the Fan-Managed Discord, many players adopted recolors of Hubert as their profile images during the Purrismas Event 2020.
	+ Hubert emojis are still commonly used on the official Discord server, and his evil guise is used to represent mock terror and mischief.
