All Monsters in R.E.P.O.

Animal

Threat Level: Low
The Animal is fast but weak, offering little resistance.

Apex Predator (Duck)

Threat Level: Low
Generally passive unless provoked. For easy cash, lure it to the extraction zone and crush it with the piston.

Bang

Threat Level: Medium
An explosive enemy. Throwing it into water, lava, or acid is the safest approach. Can also be used to damage other monsters.

Bowtie

Threat Level: Low
Screams when spotted, hindering movement. Slow and immobile while screaming; exploit this vulnerability for easy attacks.

Chef

Threat Level: Medium
Predictable attack patterns; dodge its slash to create an opening for counterattack.

Clown

Threat Level: High
Dangerous enemy wielding a height-adjusting laser beam and melee attacks. Stunned briefly after laser fire, providing a small window of opportunity.

Gnome

Threat Level: Low
Travels in packs, prioritizing loot over players. Easily dispatched by picking them up and slamming them against a surface.

Headman

Threat Level: Low
A floating head that only becomes aggressive when illuminated.

Hidden

Threat Level: Medium
Appears as a black smoke cloud, capable of stunning and disarming players. Difficult to spot; prioritize hiding when sensed nearby.

Huntsman

Threat Level: Medium
Blind but highly sensitive to sound. Avoid direct confrontation; its shotgun blast is lethal at close range.

Mentalist

Threat Level: Medium
A teleporting alien that activates an anti-gravity field. Vulnerable to melee weapons; other players can help you escape the field.

Reaper

Threat Level: Medium
Slow, deaf, and easily avoided. Best dealt with using ranged weapons.

Robe

Threat Level: High
Fast and aggressive; direct eye contact triggers a speed frenzy. Avoid direct confrontation; prioritize hiding.

Rugrat

Threat Level: Low
Throws items when spotted; otherwise, it runs away. Requires multiple players to effectively eliminate.

Spewer

Threat Level: Medium
A tadpole-like creature that vomits on players. Grabbing and shaking it will cause it to flee.

Shadow Child

Threat Level: Low
Low HP; easily one-shot with most weapons.

Trudge

Threat Level: High
Deadly but slow; pulls players towards it before attacking. Prioritize hiding; killing it is resource-intensive.

Upscream

Threat Level: Medium
Travels in groups, grabbing and throwing players. Vulnerable to most attacks; the tranq gun is particularly effective.
