==Oldguard==
While not strictly animals, they are a dangerous inhabitant of the Endless Blue all the same. Oldguard are leftover machines from the Earless Era that still guard their ruins to this day and, much to the dismay of Shiny Divers, recognize Kemomimi as intruders. While there are still some harmless and even beneficial Oldguard in existence -- such as those who run the Akadmee -- most are destructive security bots who will defend their homes until they cease to function.

===SWATBots===
Some ruins, through being large or watertight, have dry sections full of Pre-Flood tech. Easy pickings, right? Wrong. SWATBots are security 'droids which patrol Earless ruins; they will stun, apprehend, and briefly imprison the Kemomimi they catch. Only use of commands in the Earless language combined wth technical knowhow can fend them off. It is entirely possible to defeat them in combat or sneak past them, but you'd need a group of heavily armed Kemomimi in the former case or skill in stealth in the latter.

===Ruin Sentries===
These things are like protectrons, they are heavily armed and can tear Kemonomimi to bits with their rapid-fire weaponry. Thankfully they're loud and slow so it's easy to avoid them. Just avoid these things when poking around ruins and you'll be fine.

===Floatguards===
They are surveillance oldguard that float on the surface like buoys with inflating rings around their cylindrical form. They have cameras on their top and bottom to observe passing dive ships and divers. Their presence is usually a sign of Oldguard activity.

===Face Stealers===
Nobody knows what a Face Stealer is supposed to look like, just that the Earless built them not to look like it. Utilizing materials found around them, they can retrofit themselves to appear as creatures they have encountered. Usually appearing as lone riptrout or unusually reclusive hugtopi, they are content to simply observe their surroundings and relay their data to whatever Earless network they’re connected to.

===Silver Snakes===
These creatures aren't snakes, they're robotic drones that bear a mild resemblance to snakes. They come equipped with cameras, microphones and a small suite of tools designed to aid in sabotage. They're waterproof and capable of making copies of themselves. Some Kemomimi use them for spare parts, others just destroy them. Either way they're a nuisance.

===Stalkers===
These are large (300+ tons) amphibious spider robots that stick to a designated area and guard it with extreme prejudice. They will also chase anyone who takes anything that they have been tasked to guard, often they will continue this chase until the item is recovered or they are destroyed.
