Tales From the Tower Wiki

Numerous and wondrous are the creatures that Adam encounters on his journey through the Realms of the Haunting. This page shall thus aggregate all the various non-human enemies, demonic entities and monsters, their physical and combat-related features as well as their specific location in the gameworld.

The creatures' names are mostly adopted from the descriptive titles of the textures which can be accessed by using the XWE editor and have also been kindly made available by Taradino Cassatt over here.
