Resident Evil 1

5:19 PM |

ZOMBIE

Infection with T-Virus in a human host results with this. It has a severe necrotic effect on the host due to their metabolism, and they need to feed on fresh meat in order to survive. They have no intelligent behaviour and are driven only by their urges, and so they are easy to either kill or avoid. In this primative stage of transformation, they are also very slow.

Origin: Human | Attack: Very Slow | Infection: T-Virus | Danger Level: 1/5

CERBERUS

This is the result of infusing the T-Virus with a dog. They can attack either singularly or in packs, and the best way to defeat them is by using a shotgun. Not too much trouble to kill, but dangerous if you have low health.

Origin: Dog | Attack: Quick | Infection: T-Virus | Danger Level: 2/5

CROW

Crows infected with the T-Virus which have become very hungry and after human flesh. It doesn’t take too much ammo to kill them, and in some situations they can be very difficult to avoid, in which case you should get them out of your way.

Origin: Crow | Attack: Quick | Infection: T-Virus | Danger Level: 1/5

SPIDER

There is only a small amount of them in the whole game. Not an enemy where you need to think about a special tactic for defence. Just watch out for the poison.

Origin: Spider | Attack: Quick | Infection: T-Virus | Danger Level: 2/5

KILLER BEE

The T-Virus infused with a wasp. They emit a strong poison and have a high level of agility, making them difficult to hit. The best course of action is to run and avoid these, or kill them with a knife.

Origin: Bee | Attack: Quick | Infection: T-Virus | Danger Level: 1/5

YAWN

A snake mutated by the T-Virus. It appears twice in game, both times which you have to kill it. You have to kill it the first time so it will retreat and leave one of the 4 medals for you. If you’re bitten by it, you will be poisoned and an extra cutscene will occur, where either character has to use serum in the medical room. You must kill it in the second confrontation so you can progress with the game.

Origin: Snake | Attack: Normal | Infection: T-Virus | Danger Level: 3/5

PLANT 42

This plant grew out of control in the Guardhouse, with its roots underground to absorb water. It can be destroyed by applying V-Jolt to the roots, or alternatively destroyed with a flamethrower.

Origin: Plant | Attack: Normal | Infection: T-Virus | Danger Level: 2/5

NEPTUNE

Sharks infused with the T-Virus. Ultimately stopped being made as a B.O.W as it was inefficient, as they could only fight in water. They broke out of their tank and swim underground, and are efficient killers. However, once the water has been drained, they are left vulnerable and can easily be killed with a knife or handgun.

Origin: Shark | Attack: Quick | Infection: T-Virus | Danger Level: 3/5

HUNTER

These are a result of combining a fertilized human egg with reptilian DNA, and applying T-Virus along the way. These are the Alpha models, and are very effective at killing you. If you’re on Caution, they can instantly kill you by swiping off your head. The best way to kill them is with a shotgun blast which will knock them down, then shooting them again as soon as they get back up. If you’re on Cautioned health, it is strongly advised to avoid rooms with these creatures in until you can get your health back up.

Origin: Frog | Attack: Very Quick | Infection: T-Virus | Danger Level: 4/5

BLACK TIGER

The result of infusing the T-Virus with a spider host. They are poisonous and should well be avoided. They are also much larger in size than a normal spider.

Origin: Spider | Attack: Quick | Infection: T-Virus | Danger Level: 4/5

CHIMERA

These are B.O.Ws created by infusing T-Virus infected human DNA to T-Virus infected fly DNA. It is aggressive but has set attack patterns due to the inherent intelligence of a fly. They are fairly dangerous and can crawl on ceilings, however this project was abandoned and instead replaced by the Hunter.

Origin: Insect | Attack: Very Quick | Infection: T-Virus | Danger Level: 4/5

TYRANT

This Tyrant is a T-002 model, created after the inefficient Proto Tyrant. It is made by infusing T-Virus into a human host, however only very few people have the correct genetic code to become a Tyrant; the rest would become zombies. This model was scrapped as it had a very low level of intelligence, no sentient behaviour and it attacked anyone in sight, thus regarding it useless as a B.O.W. This type was not mass produced.

Origin: Human | Attack: Quick | Infection: T-Virus | Danger Level: 5/5
