There is a description of every enemy in Tomb Raider 2. There are also some screenshots, click on the screenshot for a larger version.

Tigers

These beasts are quite hard to kill but not that fast. Try to find a place out of their reach to shoot them from safety. They appear in the great wall and also the ice palace where they are white.

Small Spiders

These beasts drop silently from the ceiling and then jump after you. They are hard to kill but die with a few shots from the pistols. They appear in The Great Wall and The Temple of Xian.

Ravens

They are slow fliers who take quite a long time to kill. They appear in The Great Wall and Barkhang Monastery.

T-Rexes

Two T-Rexes can be found in The Great Wall. They are quite hard to kill but it is easy to hide from them, just remember they can't fit in small spaces.

Dogs

These are fast but die quite quickly. Be careful when they appear in groups. They first appear in Venice and continue to appear until the end of Diving Area

Cultists (with guns)

These are members of Bartoli's Fima Nera Cult. They are quite hard to kill and often do you damage. Their aim is as good as Lara's. They first appear in Venice and continue to appear until the end of the Opera House.

Thugs

The thugs do not have guns just bars to whack you with. The best strategy is to keep out of their reach, be careful they can climb after you. They first appear in Venice and continue to appear until the end of The Opera House. They then appear dressed differently with longer bars from Offshore Rig until the end of The Deck

Rats

They are small and hard to hit. Try to keep them away from Lara's ankles. They first appear in Venice and continue to appear until the end of Opera House

Colt (guy with massive guns)

He appears at the end of the Opera House. He takes along time to kill and his guns do a lot of damage. Luckily he appears near the end of the level. You can enter this room without landing on the floor and so you can shoot him from above.

Crewmen (with guns)

Similar to the cultists but have more powerful fire power. First appear on the Offshore Rig and continue to appear until the end of the Deck.

Crewmen (with shotguns)

They are very hard to kill and almost always do damage. They first appear in Offshore Rig and continue to appear until the end of the Deck.

Scuba Divers

These enemies are most harmful when you are under water. If they are swimming after you, Zigzagging while swimming will help you avoid their harpoons. Your best bet is to climb out and shoot them from the shore, be careful because they can still hit you from under the water or from the surface. They first appear in Offshore Rig and continue to appear until the end of The Deck

Flame Throwers

These men are shooting flame but are not as bad as they look. Their flames do not travel very far, so to keep Lara from setting on fire keep away from them. They first appear in Diving Area and continue to appear until the end of The Deck

Sharks

These beasts are not very fast swimmers so your best bet is to keep out of their reach. Their bite does a lot of damage. They first appear in 40 Fathoms and continue to appear until the end of The Deck

Barracudas

Are smaller than sharks and also do less damage, but are very persistent and faster. They first appear in 40 Fathoms and continue to appear until the end of The Deck

Eels

There is a large group of these in the Wreck of the Marina Donna and one large one in Living Quarters. They lunge out at you from caves but do not follow you, their reach is longer than you think.

Hawks

These are similar to Ravens but are harder to kill. They appear in Tibetan Foothills

Mercenaries (with shotguns)

Similar to the Crewmen with shotguns but take longer to kill. They first appear in Tibetan Foothills and continue to appear until the end of Catacombs of the Talon

Snow Leopards

These beasts are faster than tigers but also smaller. They are more dangerous because they often occur in packs. They first appear in Tibetan Foothills and continue to appear until the end of Catacombs of the Talon

Snowmobilers

These guys are driving Snowmobiles with powerful guns. Try to find a place where it is hard for them to run you over. It takes quite along time to kill them. They appear in Tibetan Foothills.

Monks

The Monks live in the Barkhang Monastery. If you do not shoot any of them they will not attack you, they will also kill your enemies. If you do get on the wrong side of them try to keep out of their reach which is longer than you would expect.

Yeti

These beast take quite a long time kill and will climb after you. They appear in Catacombs of the Talon and Ice Palace.

Catfish

These vicious beasts are big and fast, but are easy to kill with pistols from out of the water. They appear in Catacombs of the Talon and Ice Palace.

Guardian of the Talon

This large beast can be found at the end of the Ice Palace. It is actually very slow and there are some places where it can't get you, just be careful not to fall down the large ditches along the sides.

Carp

You come across these ferocious creatures in the Temple of Xian. Climb out of the water and shoot them with pistols from the shore.

Giant Spiders

Massive versions of the smaller spiders. Try to keep away from them, may be a problem if you are afraid of spiders. They appear in the Temple of Xian.

Xian Swordsmen

They appear in the Floating Islands level. They float slowly around on clouds and then land and chase after you. Their swords do a lot of damage. Shoot them while they are floating and they should be dead before they land.

Xian Spears men

They appear as green statues which come to life. They are armed with 2 very long spears. They take a long time to kill. They appear in the Floating Islands level and The Dragons Lair.

Cult Priests

They are hard to kill and often appear in groups. They throw daggers but it is easy to side flip to avoid the daggers. They appear in the Floating Islands level and the Dragon's Lair.

Dragon

This Dragon is Marco Bartoli transformed. It appears in the Dragon's Lair. It can breath fire and is very hard to kill. I recommend using the Grenade Launcher or Uzis. If he sets you on fire jump into the pools to extinguish the flames. Once he is down run up to him and remove the dagger from his chest, then run out before the roof collapses.
