How to Eliminate:
1) Weapons are the only things that can deal damage, so no cart bashing or wall slamming

Additional Info: No matter where you are this creature will find you and there is almost no hiding because you could be under or far behind something and it would still probably have long enough reach to hit you. If you are close to the clap but not directly hit, the shockwave will still deal damage to you. Luckily, it is not possible for it to spawn in the first round. If you or your friends need to lose agro, you can jump around it and it won't be able to turn fast enough and give up for a while.

2) On the off chance there is a second story or lower level on your map and the peeper sits on the lower level you can see it through the floor in which you can place a grenade to kill it.

Additional Info: You don't just have to use walls or furniture to block eyesight, you can also use object you're carrying such as health containers or valuables.

Additional Info: From game play I am unaware if this is a bug or feature, but if your at a distance you might only see slow moving particles near the floor revealing it's location as it is invisible until aggro-ed. If you can comment the answer to this issue that would be helpful.

How to Eliminate:
1) The Rugrat is an easy monster to abuse using small valuable to scroll into it eventually killing it
2) If you are playing multiplayer, you can team up with friends to lift the child a repeatably bash it on the ground

Additional Info: The Rugrat is an extremely annoying monster when it throws your objects, because common sense tells you it will be damaged and you would be correct. You can catch the object, though it is thrown so fast it could still possibly hurt you or damage itself.

If you ram an enemy with a cart that will trigger it's teleport ability in which you can move on, just make sure to move fast enough to have affect.

How to Eliminate:
1) The Shadow Child is a very difficult monster to kill which is due to it's disappearing factor, so the only good way is by either using a gun or ignoring it.

Additional Info: The Shadow Child is basically impossible to kill because if you try it is likely to disappear regaining all of its health in only a few seconds. Also, especially look away if it is by a pit for it will pull you into it which insta-killing you, and this has happened before.
