Here’s a complete guide to all the monsters in R.E.P.O and the best ways to handle them.
REPO HiddenInvisible but audible, the Hidden breathes heavily when nearby. If touched, it grabs and relocates you randomly. You won’t take damage, but you may end up near deadlier threats. Listen carefully and avoid unseen spaces.

REPO SpewerThis tadpole-like creature attaches to players and vomits poison, potentially harming teammates and loot. Try to grab and shake it off, or run before it latches on.

REPO AnimalA spider-like crawler with low HP and weak attacks (2 HP per hit). Any weapon will do—take it down swiftly.

REPO GnomesCreepy garden gnomes attack in swarms of four. Though low in damage, they’re distracting. Pick them up and throw them away to deal with them quickly.

REPO Shadow ChildAvoid eye contact! This teleporting, baby-faced slenderman deals heavy damage if stared at. To defeat, approach without looking directly and use melee weapons.

REPO Apex PredatorA duckling that latches onto the first player it sees. If touched, it initiates a biting attack, often turning victims into Broken Ones. Hide in a closet to shake it off safely.

REPO RugratFast and destructive, this large baby throws objects and damages loot. With a weapon, a few hits will bring it down. Without one, best to flee.

REPO BowtieA huge white blob that pushes players with sound waves. After yelling, it charges. Easily killed with most weapons, just avoid the initial push.

REPO EyeCeiling-bound and immobile, the Eye damages players who look at it. Avoid eye contact and back away to stop its effect.

REPO Banger
Skull-shaped bombs that run at players. Pick them up and throw before they explode, they can hurt enemies too.

REPO HeadmanA floating head that bites half your HP away if provoked. Sneak past or avoid direct flashlight contact.

REPO ReaperA deadly, silent doll with blades. Can’t hear, but will slash lethally if seen. Ranged weapons or stealth are key.

REPO ChefA grinning frog with blades. It leaps after a short pause—dodge and counterattack when it misses.

REPO MentalistLifts players and objects with telekinesis. Poor sight and hearing, but teleportation makes avoidance tricky.

REPO UpscreamFast, spider-like creatures that stun solo players. Best tackled with a team.

REPO HuntsmanBlind but deadly with a gun. Distract with thrown items and move quietly.

REPO TrudgeSlow-moving but lethal. Pulls players in with a shockwave. Stay at a distance.

REPO ClownLumbers around, shooting laser beams and swiping. Avoid sight or hide to survive.

REPO RobeStalks silently, only attacking when seen. If aggravated, it screams and charges—run and hide fast.

From the annoying to the nightmarish, R.E.P.O’s monsters keep players on edge. Learning how to deal with each one is key to surviving, and escaping this haunting world.
