File:Quake1.gif In Quake, most of the monsters are creatures descended from Shub-Niggurath. They populate the realms of Quake and it is the Ranger's goal to slaughter any enemies he encounters while trying to destroy Shub-Niggurath. Most of the creatures do not have eyes, as the world would be too dark and dingy for them to be able to see. There exists a total of fifteen monsters in Quake.
