Second pass on grammar. Focused mostly on bosses and "special" enemies. Also expanded some category descriptions and fixed minor inconsistencies in unit descriptions.
In Dungeon Defenders II, players must defend their [[Maps#Cores and sub-cores|Main Cores and Sub Objectives|objectives]] from various creatures. These creatures are the minions of the Old Ones, an overarching evil presence in the world of Etheria.==List of Enemies=====Non-Resistant Enemies===*[[Goblins (Regular)|Goblins]]*[[Goblins (Bomb)|Bomb Goblins]]*[[Javelin Throwers]]*[[Kobolds (Regular)|Kobolds]]*[[Dark Mages]]*[[Skeletons]]*[[Witherbeasts]]*[[Lady Orcs]]===Physical Resistant Enemies===*[[Orcs]]===Magic Resistant Enemies===*[[Drakins]]*[[Warboars]]===Flying Enemies===*[[Wyverns]]*[[Kobolds (Flying)|Flying Kobolds]]*[[Lightning Bugs]]
