All Monsters in R.E.P.O.
Animal
Threat Level: Low
Fast-moving but dealing minimal damage, Animals are easy to eliminate as they don't retaliate when attacked.
Apex Predator (Duck)
Threat Level: Low
This harmless creature won't attack unless provoked. For players seeking bonus cash, lure it to the extraction zone and crush it with the piston mechanism.
Bang
Threat Level: Medium
These living grenades will charge and detonate when triggered. Pick them up and throw them into hazardous liquids (water, lava, acid) to neutralize them - they can also damage other monsters when used strategically.
Bowtie
Threat Level: Low
Bowties emit debilitating screams that immobilize players and knock them back, though the scream itself doesn't cause damage. Their slow movement and vulnerability make them easy targets when approached stealthily.
Chef
Threat Level: Medium
Chefs leap at players wielding knives - dodge their predictable attacks to make them stumble, creating openings for counterattacks.
Clown
Threat Level: High
One of R.E.P.O.'s deadliest creatures, Clowns attack with tracking laser beams and melee charges. After firing, they enter a brief stun period - your only chance to strike or escape.
Gnome
Threat Level: Low
These small creatures work in groups to destroy valuables rather than attack players. Easily defeated by grabbing and slamming them against surfaces.
Headman
Threat Level: Low
A floating head that only becomes aggressive when illuminated by lights, otherwise remaining passive.
Hidden
Threat Level: Medium
Appearing as black smoke, Hidden can stun players and steal items while potentially drawing other enemies. Their invisibility makes confrontation risky - stealth is the better option.
Huntsman
Threat Level: Medium
This blind enemy responds violently to sounds with deadly shotgun blasts. While predictable in movement patterns, direct confrontation is extremely dangerous.
Mentalist
Threat Level: Medium
Floating aliens that create anti-gravity fields to lift and slam targets. Though they teleport and attack quickly, they're weak against melee weapons, and teammates can rescue captured players.
Reaper
Threat Level: Medium
Slow-moving and deaf, Reapers are easily avoided but dangerous when engaged. Ranged weapons provide the safest elimination method.
Robe
Threat Level: High
One of R.E.P.O.'s most dangerous threats - looking directly at Robes triggers frenzied chases. Their high health makes evasion (by avoiding eye contact and hiding) the only viable strategy.
Rugrat
Threat Level: Low
Generally harmless scavengers that throw items when threatened, but flee when unarmed. Requires multiple players to lift and smash for elimination.
Spewer
Threat Level: Medium
Tadpole-like creatures that vomit on players, sometimes inducing vomiting that damages everything nearby. Shake them vigorously to make them flee.
Shadow Child
Threat Level: Low
While unsettling in appearance, these fragile enemies can be killed with single hits from most weapons.
Trudge
Threat Level: High
Extremely lethal despite slow movement. Their mace attacks are instantly fatal, and they can drag players from hiding. The massive resources needed to kill them make avoidance the best tactic.
Upscream
Threat Level: Medium
Group hunters that throw players to damage and stun them. Tranquilize them first, then slam them against walls for quick elimination.
