All PEAK Monsters, explained
Indie sensation PEAK is all about surviving the island and reaching the highest ascent possible with your gang, but the different biomes are not the only challenges to your objective. The game might not have monsters in the typical sense that are staples of other survival games like The Forest, but there are few creatures roaming along the islands. A few of them might not be major threats as long as you deal with them properly, but there's one entity that's pretty vicious: the Scoutmaster.

Alternatively, do the same if you notice the pest on your friend. Once removed, Ticks can be consumed as food (for some reason, they're considered as a berry in the game). Doing so will also complete the Foraging Bond achievement that requires you to eat five unique berries on your expedition (where the Tick will count as a variant).

All available monsters in PEAK
There are three 'monsters' currently available in the game, and two of them are relatively minor and easier to handle.
