What types of monsters can I expect to encounter in R.E.P.O.?

You can expect a broad cast of enemies in R.E.P.O.—not just one model of horror, but a mix of quick harassers, hulking tank creatures, and nuisance pests that each require different tactics. By October 2025 the roster sits around 29 distinct monsters, and the developers have signaled further additions in upcoming updates, so you’ll encounter a wide variety instead of a single threat. For a detailed breakdown, see Destructoid's comprehensive monster list and PC Gamer's coverage of the ongoing monster updates. Destructoid's monster list PC Gamer preview on new REPO monsters

Here are representative types you’ll encounter, each with its own gimmick and encounter pattern: - Apex Predator: starts as a harmless toy duck, then becomes a bitey predator that pursues for a short burst. - Huntsman: a blind shotgun-wielding hunter who tracks you by sound and can be lethal if he corners you. - Loom: a one-target-at-a-time stalker that uses a clap to trap or deter you. - Peeper: a ceiling eye that immobilizes you with gaze and can force you to break line of sight to escape. - Reaper: a scarecrow-like foe with knives that can stun-lock if not dodged. - Robe: a ghost-like pursuer that hunts when you look at it and shrieks to threaten you. - Shadow Child: teleporting child-like apparition driven by laughter; eye contact hurts. - Trudge: a slow, massively threatening brute with a mace and heavy area damage. - Gnome: small loot-destroyers that disrupt valuables and can be a constant nuisance. - Banger: explosive skulls that march toward you and detonate if kept close for too long. - Spewer: floating teeth that spit acid and can latch on to you. - Heart Hugger: begins as a harmless heart root, then hypnotizes and transforms into a trap. - Oogly: ceiling-mounted security “spotlight” that can pick you up and hurl you, depending on visibility. - Tick: a fragile life orb that can be grabbed, but draining HP makes it risky. These examples come from the game’s expanding roster, as documented by coverage of the 2025 monster update.
