LOST COSMONAUT
- MONSTER
- THE MOON
- RARE MONSTER
- PHASING
LOST COSMONAUT is a rare oddity that turns up on THE MOON on most runs, alone.
It senses you through walls and drifts straight through them; the dead do not respect stone.
A flight that was never announced, from a programme that never filed it: the cosmonaut who went up and was left off the paperwork on the way down. He is still transmitting, on a frequency nobody has listened to in sixty years.

The monster at its baseline, before a venue has placed it. What it really fields on each difficulty is under “Where you meet it”.
Where you meet it
THE MOON
It is placed by hand on THE MOON and waits at its post until you come close.
THE MOON rolls one rare monster from a short list on most runs, and this is one of the names on it.

What to know
- HOVERSHas no legs and never touches the floor — it drifts over it, casting its shadow down.
- PHASINGWalks through walls and hunts you through them.
- RARE MONSTERFields 5× the health, 1.5× the damage and pays 5× the experience of an ordinary monster of its kind.
- WHAT IT WAS CARRYINGA shift's pay, and only about one body in five is carrying any of it when it falls.
- WHEN STRUCKIt comes apart in ectoplasm. A blow that overwhelms it bursts it, and the goo it was holding together goes everywhere.
