Star health is base health multiplied by the level: a one-star creature has twice the health, a two-star three times. A dash means no star level is recorded, either because the creature is always level 1, as every boss is, or because it is placed by a dungeon spawner rather than a world spawn rule.
Valheim has 123 creatures, of which 10 are bosses. The toughest by raw health is Fader at 25,000. Every creature carries a full resistance matrix, so the weapon you bring matters more than its damage number alone.

Valheim Bestiary FAQ
How many creatures are in Valheim?
There are 123 creatures in the game files, including 10 bosses. They are listed here in progression order, grouped by the shallowest biome each one spawns in.
What is the strongest creature in Valheim?
By health, Fader at 25,000. Health alone is misleading though: resistances decide how long something actually takes to kill.
How do creature resistances work in Valheim?
Each creature has a modifier per damage type. Weak multiplies damage by 1.5, Very Weak by 2, Resistant by 0.5, Very Resistant by 0.25, and Immune reduces it to zero. Those multipliers are read from the game itself.
How many creatures can you tame in Valheim?
{tameCount} of the 123. Everything else is either hostile for good or scenery. Tamed animals breed, follow and in some cases produce materials, which makes the small list disproportionately useful — and it is a much shorter list than the bestiary suggests at a glance.
What do stars do to creatures in Valheim?
They multiply it. A starred creature carries more health and hits harder than its plain version, up to {maxStars} stars on the creatures that support them, and the drops scale with it too. Not every creature can be starred, so the ones that can are worth knowing before a biome starts producing them.
