Ndyan – Tomahawk: Keep track of his bounce and beware, it will take you 4 bullets to kill him.

Sherif & Sherif Twin: Fast draw, quick-shooter. Careful with shooting their bullets. The sherif and his Twin will take 3 shots each to kill. Killing one will resurrect the other.

Robot: Made of indestructible material and fires lasers. Bullets will ricochet right off of these guys; Your best bet is to jump over him.

Zombies: These undead cowboys can take 5 bullets before going down, becoming slower by each hit. Stabbing will instantly kill them, however.

Snakes: Sometimes easy to spot, sometimes hidden in the undergrowth. Their venomous bite will poison the player, giving them one minute to find a anti-venom.

Spiders & Bats: These will stun the player for a few seconds. If however the player has been bitten by a snake previous, then they will be instantly killed.

Ooze: This will make you unable to stop jumping for 30 seconds.

Tentacle: These will slow you down, while decreasing your jump for 30 seconds.
