Here’s a complete guide to all the monsters in R.E.P.O and the best ways to handle them.

REPO Hidden

Invisible 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 Spewer

This 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 Animal

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

REPO Gnomes

Creepy 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 Child

Avoid 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 Predator

A 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 Rugrat

Fast 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 Bowtie

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

REPO Eye

Ceiling-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 Headman

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

REPO Reaper

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

REPO Chef

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

REPO Mentalist

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

REPO Upscream

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

REPO Huntsman

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

REPO Trudge

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

REPO Clown

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

REPO Robe

Stalks 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.
