Enemies, in the Fable series, are game entities that oppose the player and try to halt their progress in the game’s story and/or quests.
Overview[]
Enemies are featured in all the main titles of the Fable series to date, with most of them being living creatures which can be engaged in combat and dropping experience points upon being defeated.
At the beginning of every game, while the player is still low level, weaker enemies will compose the pantry that can be found around the game map, however, as the player gets stronger during the gameplay, enemies will also increase in power.
Bosses[]
Bosses are special enemies, which can be recognized by their expanded roles in the gameplay. They are identified by their visible healthbar and the requirement of being defeated in order to progress through the Main Quests of the game.
Minibosses[]
Minibosses are special enemies, which although posessing slightly expanded roles in the gameplay are not as important as real Bosses. They either don't have their healthbar visible or are required to be defeated in order to progress through the main story of the game, usually being featured in Side Quests.
Enemies List[]
The enemies featured in the following lists are mostly grouped (for better understanding) accordingly to the groups presented in the Prima Games and Brady Games series of Fable Guides, which were officially licensed by Lionhead Studios and the Microsoft Game Studios.
