R.E.P.O. has taken the horror gaming scene by storm in 2025, offering players a chilling experience filled with eerie environments and terrifying creatures. Each monster in the game behaves uniquely, requiring different tactics to survive or defeat them. Below is a complete list of all monsters in R.E.P.O., along with strategies on how to handle each one effectively.

All Monsters in R.E.P.O.

Animal

Threat Level: Low

The Animal is fast but weak. It won’t attack you aggressively and can be easily eliminated without much effort. Since it doesn’t fight back, take this opportunity to practice your combat skills.

Apex Predator (Duck)

Threat Level: Low

Despite its name, the Apex Predator (Duck) isn’t dangerous unless provoked. If you're looking to earn some extra cash, bring it to the extraction zone and use the piston to crush it for a reward.

Bang

Threat Level: Medium

Bangs are explosive enemies that rush toward you when threatened and detonate. You can pick them up and throw them into water, lava, or acid to eliminate them safely. They can also damage other monsters if used strategically.

Bowtie

Threat Level: Low

When spotted, Bowties emit a scream that prevents you from running or jumping and pushes you backward. While they don’t deal direct damage, their scream can lead to accidental harm. Fortunately, they’re slow and easy to kill—approach quietly and strike when they’re distracted.

Chef

Threat Level: Medium

The Chef attacks by leaping at you with knives. Its movements are predictable: after an attack, it becomes vulnerable for a few seconds, giving you a chance to counter.

Clown

Threat Level: High

The Clown is one of the more aggressive enemies in R.E.P.O. It uses a height-adjusting laser beam and can charge at you with a melee attack. After firing its laser, it becomes briefly stunned—use this moment to escape or retaliate.

Gnome

Threat Level: Low

Gnomes often travel in groups and focus more on destroying loot than attacking players. They’re fragile and can be picked up and slammed against walls or the floor to eliminate quickly.

Headman

Threat Level: Low

This floating head becomes hostile only when exposed to light. Avoid shining flashlights or lanterns directly on it, and it will leave you alone.

Hidden

Threat Level: Medium

Appearing as a cloud of black smoke, the Hidden can grab and stun you, causing you to drop items. Worse yet, it may drag you toward other monsters. It’s difficult to see, so hiding is often your best bet when near one.

Huntsman

Threat Level: Medium

Blind but highly sensitive to sound, the Huntsman fires its shotgun upon detecting noise. Stay quiet and avoid close proximity—it can instantly kill you if you're too close. It follows a fixed patrol path, making it easier to evade.

Mentalist

Threat Level: Medium

This alien-like creature creates an anti-gravity field, lifting nearby objects and players before slamming them down violently. It can teleport, making it hard to escape. However, it falls quickly to melee attacks. Other players can help pull you out of its field if caught.

Reaper

Threat Level: Medium

Although slow and deaf, the Reaper is powerful. It doesn’t chase far, making avoidance simple. Use ranged weapons to keep your distance and eliminate it safely.

Robe

Threat Level: High

Robe is fast, stealthy, and relentless. Looking directly at it causes it to enter a frenzy, increasing its speed and aggression. It deals heavy damage and is best avoided entirely. Hide until it moves on rather than attempting to fight.

Rugrat

Threat Level: Low

While not particularly dangerous, Rugrats can become annoying when they throw items at you. They flee when empty-handed, so avoid confrontation unless you have backup. Two or three players can lift and slam it to kill it.

Spewer

Threat Level: Medium

The Spewer latches onto players and vomits, dealing damage over time. It can also hurt nearby enemies, which can work in your favor. Grab it and shake it off to make it retreat.

Shadow Child

Threat Level: Low

Though visually unsettling, the Shadow Child is very weak. Most attacks will eliminate it in one hit, making it one of the least threatening enemies in the game.

Trudge

Threat Level: High

Trudge is extremely deadly but slow-moving. When it spots you, it pulls you toward itself and strikes with a mace—often resulting in instant death. It can even yank you out of hiding spots. Hiding and waiting it out is your safest option.

Upscream

Threat Level: Medium

Upscreams usually appear in groups and can grab and throw you backward, causing damage and temporary stun. They are susceptible to most attacks, but the tranq gun works exceptionally well. Stun them first, then pick them up and slam them into the ground or wall.

That's every monster currently found in R.E.P.O., along with effective strategies for handling them. Whether you're trying to survive solo or teaming up with friends, knowing how to react to each enemy is key to staying alive.
