To go back to the original point of them being enemies...

We can ignore the dictionary definition, straight up. Words don't mean what the dictionary says they mean, words mean what people think they mean, and that's doubly true when used in a more subject specific context. The definition of 'level' is "a horizontal plane or line" according to google; neither of it's two definitions mean anything like what 'level' means in video game context.

Enemy will mean different things to different people, which follows from my first point. If enemy (in video game context) to you means aggressive, able to do damage, poses a risk etc, then that's fine. To me, enemy generally means a killable entity whose death furthers progress in the game in some way. Generally. A crystal lizard by my and many others' definitions is an enemy, same with those trees that block paths in Darkroot Garden.

TL;DR - don't rely on dictionary definitions. To most, crystal lizards fit the defintion of enemy.
