All Monsters in R.E.P.O.

Animal

Threat Level: Low
The Animal is swift but harmless. It’s easily dispatched with minimal effort. No need to waste resources here.

Apex Predator (Duck)

Threat Level: Low
This duck-like creature is non-aggressive unless provoked. Crush it in the extraction zone's piston for some quick cash.

Bang

Threat Level: Medium
An explosive menace, the Bang rushes toward you when spotted. Toss it into hazards like water or acid to eliminate it safely.

Bowtie

Threat Level: Low
Its scream immobilizes you temporarily, but Bowties are sluggish and vulnerable. Sneak up on them when they're distracted.

Chef

Threat Level: Medium
The Chef lunges with its knives. Dodge its attack, let it falter, and strike back. It’s predictable and manageable.

Clown

Threat Level: High
Watch out for its height-adjustable laser and melee charge. Fire its laser once, and it’ll be stunned—your chance to retaliate.

Gnome

Threat Level: Low
These critters destroy loot instead of attacking. Toss them into walls or floors to dispose of them effortlessly.

Headman

Threat Level: Low
A floating head that only gets hostile if illuminated. Avoid shining lights on it, and it’ll stay passive.

Hidden

Threat Level: Medium
This elusive cloud of smoke grabs and stuns you. Stay hidden when sensing its presence—it’s tough to target directly.

Huntsman

Threat Level: Medium
Blind but reactive to sound, this shotgun-wielding foe patrols predictable routes. Avoid triggering its shots at all costs.

Mentalist

Threat Level: Medium
A floating alien-like entity that levitates objects and teleports. Melee strikes and teamwork can bring it down quickly.

Reaper

Threat Level: Medium
Slow and deaf, the Reaper is easy to evade. Engage it from a distance with ranged weapons to take it out efficiently.

Robe

Threat Level: High
Fast and aggressive, Robe enters a frenzy if it spots you. Hide and avoid eye contact to stay safe—fighting it is ill-advised.

Rugrat

Threat Level: Low
Harmless unless provoked, Rugrats throw items at players. Keep your distance, or use multiple players to overpower it.

Spewer

Threat Level: Medium
This tadpole-like enemy vomits at you and latches on. Grab and shake it to send it fleeing.

Shadow Child

Threat Level: Low
Creepy but weak, this enemy falls easily to most attacks. One-shot opportunities abound.

Trudge

Threat Level: High
Slow but lethal, Trudge pulls you in and delivers devastating hits. Hiding is your best defense against this powerhouse.

Upscream

Threat Level: Medium
These group-oriented foes throw you backward. Tranquilizers and brute force work best for taking them down.
