Their wings were too small to allow them to fly, and they lacked a fully developed exoskeleton. The Chimera was the only other BOW, besides the Hunter and Tyrant, that was created through genetic manipulation. Aside from their fly-like appearance, the Chimera's most notable characteristics is their ability to walk over walls and ceilings. They were being manufactured inside the Arklay Research Facility's basement lab and adopted that section of the facility as their habitat during the mansion incident. Like Web Spinners, the Giant Black Widow will release its offspring upon death.Ī Chimera (taking its name from the mythical Greek creature) is a BOW that was created by inserting fly DNA and the T-virus into human tissue. However, one of the Black Widows was transferred to the Antarctic Facility and mutated into the Giant Black Widow as a result of the environment change. They were sent to Rockfort Island for training purposes. The Black Widows are BOWs that were developed based on data collected from the Giant Spiders in Raccoon City and as their name suggests, they were developed by implanting the T-virus into black widow spiders.

The term "Giant Spider" is also used for the infected spiders in Raccoon City that are not BOWs, but were infected by the viral outbreak. The spider-based BOWs developed in the Umbrella Management Training Facility were known as Giant Spiders. It is twice the size of a regular Web Spinner and has the ability to spin webs. The Black Tiger is a type of Web Spinner that has undergone further mutation. However, they retained their ability to crawl over walls and ceilings and will leave behind a swarm of baby spiders when killed. These spiders lost their ability to spin webs due to their increase in size. The first were the Web Spinners, born in the Arklay Research Facility. Common characteristics between these creatures are their abnormally large size and their ability to spit venom. There have been several spider-based BOWs created as a result of Umbrella's experimentation with the T-virus. Appears in: Resident Evil (all versions), Resident Evil Outbreak and Resident Evil Outbreak File #2, Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles.Their stings are strong enough to penetrate bone, and the venom can kill in minutes if not treated. They are no different in appearance from a normal wasp except for the size, but they do build a large hive in the residence. Wasps thrive in the Arklay Research Center's Residence, and have grown to a huge size from the T-virus.
#Resident evil 3 wiki series
The Cerberus in the Resident Evil series are dogs, usually Dobermans that have succumbed to the T-virus. Resident Evil: Dead Aim shows another form of Hunter, the Glimmer, which prefers to hunt in the dark, with only its two bright, shining eyes as evidence of its position. In Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles, the Hunter R is shown to be Umbrella's mass-produced design. Resident Evil: Outbreak introduces the Hunter R, an experimental form of Hunter Alpha.

Resident Evil Code: Veronica introduces the Enhanced Hunters, who are controlled by Wesker and the Sweepers, which are Enhanced Hunters with venomous claws. Hunter Gammas are an amphibian-based model nicknamed "Froggers", which are endowed with long tongues, and are capable of swallowing the player. They are very distinct from Alpha Hunters as their upper body is covered in red tumor-like bumps.

Hunter Betas are the successor of the original Alpha model from the first game. Resident Evil 3 introduces two new type of Hunters: Hunter Beta and Hunter Gamma. The Hunters are recurring enemies throughout the series and sub-species of Hunter are introduced in later games. According to a file in Resident Evil: Survivor, hunters prefer to hunt in packs. They are introduced in the original Resident Evil as replacement enemies for the zombies when the player revisits the mansion during the later part of the game. The Hunters are established in the games as a breed of artificially-created half-human/half-reptilian creatures with sharp claws created by the Umbrella Corporation. The Hunter is one of the first original monster designs in the series. They have appeared since the first Resident Evil as the series' common enemy character. As with most popular depictions of zombies, they are re-animated corpses with rotting flesh who bite and infect humans. The zombies featured in the Resident Evil series are human victims that have succumbed to the T-virus.
