R.E.P.O. has quickly become one of the most talked-about horror games among streamers in 2025. With a variety of terrifying creatures lurking around every corner, understanding how to identify and defeat each monster is crucial for survival. Below is a comprehensive list of all monsters in R.E.P.O., along with their threat levels and strategies for dealing with them.
Animal
Threat Level: Low
The Animal is fast but poses little danger. It deals minimal damage and is very easy to eliminate, as it won’t fight back when attacked.
Apex Predator (Duck)
Threat Level: Low
This monster won’t attack you unless provoked. If you're looking to earn some quick cash, you can kill it by luring it into the extraction zone and crushing it with the piston.
Bang
Threat Level: Medium
Bangs are explosive enemies that will rush toward you and detonate if they spot or are attacked by you. You can pick them up and throw them into water, lava, or acid to neutralize them safely. They can also be used offensively against other monsters.
Bowtie
Threat Level: Low
When spotted, Bowties emit a scream that prevents you from running or jumping while pushing you backward. Although the scream itself isn't damaging, it can push you into hazards. Bowties are slow and vulnerable to attacks—approach stealthily for an easy takedown.
Chef
Threat Level: Medium
The Chef charges at you with knives when it sees you. By dodging its attack, you can create an opening to strike while it recovers from being off-balance.
Clown
Threat Level: High
One of the deadliest monsters in the game, the Clown uses a height-adjusting laser beam and a powerful melee charge. After firing the laser, it becomes stunned briefly—offering a narrow window to escape or counterattack.
Gnome
Threat Level: Low
Gnomes often travel in groups and focus on destroying your loot rather than attacking you directly. They’re weak and can be easily eliminated by picking them up and slamming them into walls or floors.
Headman
Threat Level: Low
A floating head that only becomes aggressive when exposed to light. Avoid shining flashlights or lanterns at it, and it should 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 your items. It's difficult to see, so it’s best to hide and avoid confrontation when possible.
Huntsman
Threat Level: Medium
Blind but highly sensitive to sound, the Huntsman fires a deadly shotgun blast when triggered. It follows a set patrol route, making it easier to avoid. Due to its potential for instant kills, direct combat is not recommended.
Mentalist
Threat Level: Medium
Resembling an alien, the Mentalist creates anti-gravity fields that lift nearby players and objects before slamming them down. It can teleport, making escape challenging. Fortunately, it falls quickly to melee attacks, and teammates can help pull you out of its field.
Reaper
Threat Level: Medium
Slow and deaf, the Reaper doesn’t chase players far. It’s best defeated using ranged weapons or firearms, as it poses little threat if avoided.
Robe
Threat Level: High
Fast and aggressive, Robe loves chasing players. Looking directly at it causes it to frenzy and accelerate. It deals heavy damage and sneaks up easily. Your best bet is to avoid eye contact and stay hidden until it moves on.
Rugrat
Threat Level: Low
While generally harmless, Rugrat scavenges for valuable items and throws them at you if seen. It flees when empty-handed. It takes two or three people to lift and slam it, so avoiding it is usually the safest option.
Spewer
Threat Level: Medium
This tadpole-like creature vomits at players and can deal area damage. Grabbing and shaking it usually causes it to flee. It can also harm other enemies, which may be useful in certain situations.
Shadow Child
Threat Level: Low
Although visually unsettling, the Shadow Child has very low health and can be eliminated in one hit with most weapons or tools.
Trudge
Threat Level: High
Trudge is extremely dangerous due to its ability to pull you toward it and deliver a potentially fatal mace strike. It can even yank you out of hiding spots. Avoiding it and waiting for it to move on is the safest strategy.
Upscream
Threat Level: Medium
Upscreams typically appear in groups and can grab and throw you backward, dealing damage and stunning you. They’re vulnerable to most attacks, but the tranq gun works best—stun them and then slam them into walls or floors.
