All Monsters in R.E.P.O.
Animal
Threat Level: Low
The Animal is a swift but harmless creature that poses minimal threat. It won't fight back, making it an easy target to eliminate.
Apex Predator (Duck)
Threat Level: Low
The Apex Predator remains docile unless provoked. For those looking to earn some easy cash, lure it to the extraction zone and crush it with the piston.
Bang
Threat Level: Medium
The Bang is an explosive enemy that charges at you upon detection. To neutralize it, pick it up and throw it into water, lava, or acid. It can also be used strategically to damage other monsters.
Bowtie
Threat Level: Low
Bowties emit a scream that immobilizes players and pushes them back. They are slow and vulnerable during their scream, making them easy to attack if you approach stealthily.
Chef
Threat Level: Medium
The Chef's attacks are predictable; it jumps and slashes with knives. Dodge its attack to make it fall off-balance, providing an opportunity to strike.
Clown
Threat Level: High
The Clown is a formidable foe with a laser beam attack and a melee charge. It becomes stunned after firing its laser, offering a brief window to attack or escape.
Gnome
Threat Level: Low
Gnomes target your loot rather than you directly. They are weak and can be killed by slamming them against a wall or floor.
Headman
Threat Level: Low
The Headman, a floating head, is harmless unless provoked by light. Avoid shining light on it to keep it at bay.
Hidden
Threat Level: Medium
The Hidden, appearing as a cloud of black smoke, can stun you and make you drop your items. It's hard to spot, so hiding is often the best strategy when it's nearby.
Huntsman
Threat Level: Medium
The blind Huntsman reacts to sound and fires a deadly shotgun. It follows a set route, making it easier to avoid than to confront.
Mentalist
Threat Level: Medium
The Mentalist, an alien-like entity, uses an anti-gravity field to levitate and slam objects. It's vulnerable to melee attacks and can be rescued from its field by other players.
Reaper
Threat Level: Medium
The slow and deaf Reaper is easy to avoid but strong. Use guns and ranged weapons to take it down safely.
Robe
Threat Level: High
Robe is fast and aggressive, entering a frenzy when looked at directly. Avoid eye contact and hide to evade its high-damage attacks.
Rugrat
Threat Level: Low
Rugrat scavenges for items and throws them at players. It's generally harmless but requires multiple people to kill by slamming it against a wall.
Spewer
Threat Level: Medium
The Spewer chases players and vomits, causing damage. Grab and shake it to make it retreat.
Shadow Child
Threat Level: Low
Despite its eerie appearance, the Shadow Child is easily defeated with a single hit due to its low HP.
Trudge
Threat Level: High
Trudge is slow but deadly, pulling players in for an insta-kill with its mace. Hide and wait for it to leave rather than attempting to fight it.
Upscream
Threat Level: Medium
Upscreams travel in groups and can throw players, causing damage and stun. Use a tranq gun to stun them, then slam them into a wall or floor.
