All Monsters in R.E.P.O.

Animal

Threat Level: Low

The Animal is swift but harmless in terms of damage. It's an easy target as it doesn't retaliate, making it simple to take down.

Apex Predator (Duck)

Threat Level: Low

The Apex Predator remains docile unless provoked. For those looking to earn easy cash, lure it to the extraction zone where it can be crushed by the piston.

Bang

Threat Level: Medium

Named aptly, the Bang is an explosive threat that charges at you upon detection. Safely dispose of it by throwing it into water, lava, or acid. It can also be used strategically against other monsters.

Bowtie

Threat Level: Low

The Bowtie's scream can immobilize you, pushing you back and potentially into harm's way. Approach stealthily from behind when it's not screaming, as it's vulnerable to all forms of attack.

Chef

Threat Level: Medium

The Chef's predictable attacks involve jumping and slashing with knives. Dodge its attack to exploit its momentary imbalance and strike back.

Clown

Threat Level: High

The Clown poses a significant threat with its laser and melee attacks. Seize the opportunity to attack or flee during its brief stun period after using the laser.

Gnome

Threat Level: Low

Gnomes focus on destroying your loot rather than attacking you directly. Easily dispatched by slamming them against a wall or floor.

Headman

Threat Level: Low

The Headman, a floating head, is harmless 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 smoke, can stun you and strip your items, dragging you towards other dangers. It's tough to spot and kill, so hiding is often the best strategy.

Huntsman

Threat Level: Medium

The blind Huntsman reacts to sound with deadly shotgun blasts. Stay quiet and avoid its patrol route to steer clear of this threat.

Mentalist

Threat Level: Medium

The Mentalist's anti-gravity field can be lethal. It's vulnerable to melee attacks and can be saved from its own trap by other players.

Reaper

Threat Level: Medium

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

Robe

Threat Level: High

Robe is fast and aggressive, becoming frenzied when looked at directly. Avoid eye contact and hide to evade its relentless pursuit.

Rugrat

Threat Level: Low

Rugrat scavenges for items and throws them at you if spotted. It's best to avoid it, as it requires multiple people to kill effectively.

Spewer

Threat Level: Medium

The Spewer's vomit can harm both you and others. Grab and shake it to make it retreat.

Shadow Child

Threat Level: Low

Despite its eerie appearance, the Shadow Child is easily dispatched with a single hit due to its low health.

Trudge

Threat Level: High

Trudge's slow pace belies its deadly pull and mace attack. Hide and wait for it to leave, as it's resource-intensive to kill.

Upscream

Threat Level: Medium

Upscreams can throw you back, causing damage and stun. Use a tranq gun to stun them, then slam them into a surface to defeat them.
