Excavation is the first floor of the Facility. As its name implies, this floor was uncovered and excavated after a cataclysmic event caused the ruin of the Facility in the past. Enemies encountered on this floor are predominantly of the Undead type, and a Bestiary entry states that they have created some semblance of a society there. Since it is the jumping-off point for a player's run, its enemies and obstacles are fairly straightforward and manageable.

Enemies

These are all the enemies that can appear in the Excavation, excluding some very rare enemies that are more common on later floors.
