All Monsters in R.E.P.O.

Animal

Threat Level: Low

The Animal is a swift but harmless creature, dealing minimal damage and offering no resistance when attacked. Its low threat level makes it an easy target for players.

Apex Predator (Duck)

Threat Level: Low

The Apex Predator, or Duck, poses no threat unless provoked. For those looking to earn some easy in-game currency, luring it to the extraction zone and crushing it with the piston is the most effective method.

Bang

Threat Level: Medium

True to its name, the Bang is an explosive enemy that rushes and detonates upon spotting or being attacked. To neutralize it safely, throw 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 players, preventing movement and pushing them back. Although the scream isn't harmful, it can lead to environmental damage. These slow-moving enemies are easily dispatched with a stealthy approach.

Chef

Threat Level: Medium

The Chef's predictable attack pattern involves jumping and slashing with knives. Dodging its attack causes it to stumble, presenting a prime opportunity for retaliation.

Clown

Threat Level: High

The Clown is a formidable foe, wielding a height-adjustable laser beam and a charging melee attack. Its vulnerability comes after firing the laser, leaving it stunned and open to counterattacks.

Gnome

Threat Level: Low

Gnomes prioritize destroying loot over attacking players. Their weakness makes them easy to eliminate by simply slamming them against a wall or the floor.

Headman

Threat Level: Low

The Headman, a floating head, is harmless unless provoked by light. Otherwise, it poses no threat and can be ignored.

Hidden

Threat Level: Medium

The Hidden, appearing as a cloud of black smoke, can stun and disarm players, dragging them towards other threats. Its elusive nature makes it challenging to confront, so hiding is often the best strategy.

Huntsman

Threat Level: Medium

The blind Huntsman reacts to sound, firing a lethal shotgun. It patrols a fixed route, making it easy to avoid but dangerous to engage.

Mentalist

Threat Level: Medium

The Mentalist uses an anti-gravity field to levitate and slam objects, including players. 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 slow-moving, deaf Reaper is easily avoidable but strong. Ranged weapons are the best choice for taking it down safely.

Robe

Threat Level: High

Robe is a fast and aggressive enemy that enters a frenzy when looked at directly. With high HP, it's better to avoid eye contact and hide until it moves on.

Rugrat

Threat Level: Low

Rugrat scavenges for items and throws them at players. While not inherently dangerous, it's advisable to avoid it due to the effort required to kill it.

Spewer

Threat Level: Medium

The Spewer chases players and vomits, causing them to vomit and potentially damage nearby players or items. Grabbing and shaking it will cause it to 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 a slow but deadly enemy that pulls players in for a devastating mace attack. Hiding is the best way to survive its presence.

Upscream

Threat Level: Medium

Upscreams travel in groups, grabbing and throwing players. They are vulnerable to most attacks, but the tranq gun allows for a stun-and-slam strategy.
