All Monsters in R.E.P.O.

Animal

Threat Level: Low

The Animal is a swift but harmless creature that poses minimal threat. It's easy to eliminate as it doesn't retaliate.

Apex Predator (Duck)

Threat Level: Low

The Apex Predator, a seemingly innocuous duck, remains benign unless provoked. For those seeking easy cash, you can lure it to the extraction zone and crush it using the piston mechanism.

Bang

Threat Level: Medium

True to its name, the Bang is an explosive enemy that rushes to detonate upon spotting or being attacked. Safely handle it by tossing it into water, lava, or acid. Cleverly, you can also use Bangs to damage other monsters.

Bowtie

Threat Level: Low

The Bowtie emits a scream that immobilizes players by preventing movement and pushing them back. Despite its disruptive nature, Bowties are slow and defenseless while screaming, making them easy targets for a stealthy attack.

Chef

Threat Level: Medium

The Chef's predictable attack pattern involves a leap and slash with its knives. Dodge its attack to exploit its brief imbalance, creating an opening for your counterstrike.

Clown

Threat Level: High

The Clown, a formidable adversary, uses a height-adjusting laser beam and a melee charge to attack. Post-laser, it momentarily stuns, providing a brief window for players to either attack or flee.

Gnome

Threat Level: Low

Gnomes, often found in groups, prioritize destroying your loot over attacking you. They're fragile and can be dispatched by slamming them against a wall or floor.

Headman

Threat Level: Low

The Headman, a floating head, poses little threat 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 and disarm you, pulling you towards other enemies. Its elusive nature makes it hard to kill, so it's best to hide and avoid it when detected.

Huntsman

Threat Level: Medium

The blind Huntsman reacts to sound with a potentially lethal shotgun blast. Stick to quiet movement to avoid its patrols and minimize the risk of confrontation.

Mentalist

Threat Level: Medium

The Mentalist, an alien-like entity, creates an anti-gravity field that can be fatal when it slams objects down. Vulnerable to melee attacks, it can be quickly neutralized, and other players can rescue you from its field.

Reaper

Threat Level: Medium

The Reaper is slow and deaf, making it easy to avoid. Utilize ranged weapons for a safe and effective kill.

Robe

Threat Level: High

Robe is a fast and aggressive monster that intensifies its chase when spotted. Its high health makes direct combat unwise; instead, avoid eye contact and hide until it loses interest.

Rugrat

Threat Level: Low

Rugrat, though seemingly harmless, scavenges for items to throw at you. It's best to steer clear, as it requires multiple players to smash it against a surface to defeat.

Spewer

Threat Level: Medium

The Spewer, a tadpole-like enemy, chases and vomits on players, causing damage. Grab and shake it to make it flee, potentially using its vomit against other enemies.

Shadow Child

Threat Level: Low

Despite its eerie appearance, the Shadow Child is easily dispatched due to its low health, requiring only a single hit from most attacks.

Trudge

Threat Level: High

Trudge, though slow, is lethal, pulling players in for a devastating mace strike. Hide and wait for it to move on, as defeating it consumes significant time and resources.

Upscream

Threat Level: Medium

Upscreams travel in groups and can throw you back, causing damage and stun. Use a tranq gun to stun them, then grab and slam them against a surface for an effective takedown.
