All Monsters in R.E.P.O.

Animal

Threat Level: Low

The Animal is a swift but harmless creature, dealing minimal damage. It poses no threat as it doesn't fight back, making it easy to dispatch.

Apex Predator (Duck)

Threat Level: Low

The Apex Predator remains peaceful unless provoked. For those seeking to eliminate it for some quick cash, lead it to the extraction zone and crush it under the piston.

Bang

Threat Level: Medium

The Bang, true to its name, is an explosive enemy. It will rush and detonate upon spotting or being attacked. Safely dispose of it by tossing it into water, lava, or acid. Cleverly, you can also use Bangs to damage other monsters.

Bowtie

Threat Level: Low

Bowties emit a scream that immobilizes you, preventing running and jumping while pushing you backward. Fortunately, they're slow and vulnerable during their scream. Sneak up on them when they're distracted for an easy takedown.

Chef

Threat Level: Medium

The Chef's attacks are predictable; it jumps and slashes with knives. Dodge its attack to make it stumble, then seize the moment to strike back.

Clown

Threat Level: High

The Clown is a formidable foe with a laser beam and a charging melee attack. Its weakness is the brief stun after firing the laser, providing a narrow window to either attack or escape.

Gnome

Threat Level: Low

Gnomes are more interested in destroying your loot than harming you. They're weak and can be easily killed by slamming them against walls or floors.

Headman

Threat Level: Low

The Headman, a floating head, becomes aggressive only when illuminated. Otherwise, it's harmless and can be safely ignored.

Hidden

Threat Level: Medium

The Hidden appears as a cloud of smoke and can stun you, causing you to drop your items. It's tricky to spot, so hiding is often the best strategy when you sense its presence.

Huntsman

Threat Level: Medium

The Huntsman, though blind, reacts aggressively to sound with its shotgun. It's best to steer clear of its patrol routes to avoid its deadly shots.

Mentalist

Threat Level: Medium

The Mentalist, an alien-like entity, creates an anti-gravity field that can be lethal when it slams objects down. It can teleport, but it's vulnerable to melee attacks and can be rescued from its field by other players.

Reaper

Threat Level: Medium

The Reaper is slow and deaf, making it easy to avoid but tough to kill. Use ranged weapons to take it down safely from a distance.

Robe

Threat Level: High

Robe is a fast and aggressive monster that speeds up when you look at it. Avoid direct eye contact and hide until it moves on, as its high HP makes combat risky.

Rugrat

Threat Level: Low

Rugrat, though seemingly harmless, can throw valuable items at you. It's usually best to avoid it, as killing it requires teamwork to lift and smash it against a wall.

Spewer

Threat Level: Medium

The Spewer chases players and vomits, causing you to vomit and potentially harm nearby players or items. Grab and shake it to make it flee.

Shadow Child

Threat Level: Low

Despite its eerie appearance, the Shadow Child is easily defeated with one hit due to its low HP.

Trudge

Threat Level: High

Trudge, slow but deadly, pulls you in before striking with its mace, often resulting in an instant kill. Hide and wait for it to leave, as engaging it is resource-intensive.

Upscream

Threat Level: Medium

Upscreams move in groups and can throw you back, causing damage and stun. Use a tranq gun to stun them, then slam them into a wall or floor for an effective takedown.
