All Monsters in R.E.P.O.
Animal
Threat Level: Low
The Animal is a swift but weak opponent, offering minimal resistance and easily dispatched.
Apex Predator (Duck)
Threat Level: Low
Unless provoked, the Apex Predator poses no threat. For easy cash, lure it to the extraction zone and crush it with the piston.
Bang
Threat Level: Medium
This explosive enemy rushes and detonates upon detection or attack. Safely dispose of it by throwing it into water, lava, or acid. Exploding Bangs can also damage other monsters.
Bowtie
Threat Level: Low
Bowties emit a scream that impairs movement and pushes players back. While harmless itself, the scream can knock you into dangerous obstacles. Exploit its slow speed and immobility during its scream to attack stealthily.
Chef
Threat Level: Medium
The Chef's attacks are predictable. It jumps and slashes; dodging this leaves it vulnerable for a counterattack.
Clown
Threat Level: High
A dangerous foe wielding a height-adjusting laser beam and a melee charge. Its laser attack leaves it briefly stunned, providing a window for escape or attack.
Gnome
Threat Level: Low
Gnomes travel in packs, prioritizing loot destruction over player harm. Their weakness makes them easy to kill by picking them up and slamming them against a wall or floor.
Headman
Threat Level: Low
This floating head is largely harmless unless provoked by light.
Hidden
Threat Level: Medium
The Hidden, a cloud of black smoke, stuns and dispossesses players. Its ability to pull you towards other enemies makes it especially dangerous. Its invisibility makes direct confrontation difficult; evasion is often the best strategy.
Huntsman
Threat Level: Medium
Blind but acutely sensitive to sound, the Huntsman fires a potentially lethal shotgun blast. Its predictable patrol route allows for easy avoidance. Direct confrontation is discouraged.
Mentalist
Threat Level: Medium
This alien-like entity activates an anti-gravity field, levitating and then slamming objects to the ground. Its teleportation ability makes evasion challenging. It's susceptible to melee weapons, and other players can help you escape its anti-gravity field.
Reaper
Threat Level: Medium
Slow, deaf, and with a limited chase range, the Reaper is easily avoided but packs a powerful punch. Ranged weapons are highly effective.
Robe
Threat Level: High
Fast and aggressive, Robe enters a frenzy when directly looked at, significantly increasing its speed and damage. Avoid direct eye contact and hide until it moves on; direct combat is ill-advised.
Rugrat
Threat Level: Low
While seemingly harmless, Rugrat throws valuable items if spotted and flees when empty-handed. It requires multiple players to effectively eliminate.
Spewer
Threat Level: Medium
This tadpole-like creature chases and vomits on players, potentially damaging nearby players or items. Grabbing and shaking it will cause it to flee. Its vomit can also damage enemies.
Shadow Child
Threat Level: Low
Despite its creepy appearance, the Shadow Child has extremely low HP and is easily one-shot.
Trudge
Threat Level: High
Deadly but slow, Trudge pulls players towards it before delivering a potentially fatal mace blow. It can also pull you from hiding places. Evasion is the recommended strategy.
Upscream
Threat Level: Medium
Traveling in groups, Upscreams grab and throw players, dealing damage and stunning them. While vulnerable to various attacks, the tranq gun is particularly effective for stunning, allowing for a follow-up takedown.
