Tutorial monster
Wanderer
Listed as Common in the recording. The tutorial puts it in the hotbar and tells the player to place it on a maze cell.
Monster reference
Wanderer and Smiler are verified; the rest of the roster is still being matched
A current walkthrough supplies two readable shop names. Official Roblox art shows more monsters, but it does not publish their stats, permanent prices, range, or catch rate.
Page updated August 5, 2026
Quick answer
Start with Wanderer, place it on a maze cell, then compare the same route.
Smiler is also visible in the current shop recording. The full roster and a strongest-monster ranking need clearer names and comparable tests.

Five more appearances visible in Roblox media
These working labels describe what is visible. They do not override the names shown by the current game client.
| Working label | Appearance | Official media | Do next |
|---|---|---|---|
| Red-eyed quadruped | Black, four-legged body with pointed ears and red eyes | Building and visitor thumbnails | Match the current in-game name and cost before comparing it. |
| Smiling dark orb | Floating or compact black form with bright round eyes and a wide smile | Visitor and lineup thumbnails | Record the live label; do not assume it uses a generic Backrooms name. |
| Speaker-headed humanoid | Large dark humanoid with red-lit speaker or siren shapes | Visitor and lineup thumbnails | Check its live placement rules and price in your server. |
| Pale blocky humanoid | Light beige block-shaped figure with a simple face | Lineup thumbnail | Use the in-game card for the exact name and any stats. |
| Black grinning humanoid | Tall glossy black figure with white eyes and teeth | Game icon and hero thumbnail | Treat it as a verified appearance, not a verified roster name. |
Compare fairly
One route, one monster change
Hold the route
Do not rebuild the branch while comparing monsters. Keep visitor access as similar as possible.
Record the live card
Write the name, price, and any visible description in your current server.
Watch the result
Use the same observer point and note whether visitors reach the placement and what happens next.

What a real tier list would require
A defensible ranking needs current names, unlock requirements, live prices, placement constraints, behavior, and repeated results on comparable visitor routes. Wanderer and Smiler are a start, not a full tier list. Until the rest exists, a visual roster and a test log are more useful than copied S/A/B labels.
FAQ
Monster questions
What monsters are in Build Your Backrooms?
Wanderer and Smiler are readable in the current Monsters shop walkthrough. Official art shows more appearances, but their exact live names are not yet verified.
What is the first monster?
The current tutorial uses Wanderer and guides the player to place it on a maze cell.
What is the strongest monster?
No complete current stat table or comparable route test supports a strongest-monster ranking. Compare the same visitor route before trusting a tier list.
Are all official-image monsters named?
No. Similar Backrooms appearances are not enough to assign an exact-game name. Use the live Monsters shop card.
