Mammal/Hybrid-based creatures

Zombies

A zombie (in the Resident Evil series) refers to any person that has succumbed to the T-Virus and has been turned into a reanimated corpse that feeds on human flesh. The incubation period for the virus varies depending on the circumstances. A human will eventually turn into a zombie some time after the initial exposure to the virus, this can be a week in some cases though it is generally within a few hours, sometimes even minutes. This is usually after being heavily injured or killed by a T- Virus carrier. The most notable symptom prior to mutation is the itchiness that results from the carrier's increased metabolism.

A zombie has lost any sense of reasoning and is driven completely by instincts. A zombie will pursue its prey, until it has lost enough blood or through decapitation or complete destruction of the head. A zombie can resist several gunshots from a typical 9mm handgun before falling down, but can be easily killed with either: a well-aimed shotgun blast to the head or a high-caliber magnum handgun. However, there are also rare hyper zombies (not to be confused with "Crimson Heads") that will approach its prey very fast and are resistant to shotgun blasts.

A zombie will continue to pursue its prey even after losing its limbs or lower half of the body. Zombies that have lost the use of their legs (either through deterioration or a well-aimed gunshot) will instead crawl towards its prey until they can bite their prey's leg. They can easily be stopped with one good stomp or kick to their head. Other zombies will lay dormant on the ground due to their lack of nutrition, but will bite anything that comes to their direction. Some zombies will pretend to be dead on the ground, only to rise up after a determined period has passed. The only way to determine a zombie's death is by checking whether there's a pool of blood under their body.

Since virtually anyone can become a zombie, they can come in different varieties depending on the location where an outbreak occurs. This ranges from ordinary civilians and police officers to workers and researchers that were experimenting on the virus. Some zombies were even created within Umbrella's facilities as a result of experiments and are usually completely naked. Individuals that have turned into zombies includes Edward Dewey (of S.T.A.R.S. Bravo Team), Forest Speyer (also of S.T.A.R.S.), Marvin Branagh, Murphy Seeker and Brad Vickers among others. Capabilities of a Zombie vary as factors dependent on the carrier. A zombie can also mutate into a Licker or a Crimson Head after prolonged exposure, depending on the circumstances and chance, as only very few zombies are actually resilient enough to evolve into a Licker or Evolved Licker naturally; most of these are the result of artificial gene manipulation.

Crimson Head

A Crimson Head (or V-Act) is a type of zombie. After the T-Virus infects a normal human being, it rapidly initiates a brain cell decline, but should the new zombie be knocked out. After a time, the zombies cell tissue regenerates and is more fresh, making it able to run. The T-Virus gives a little more intelligence to the monster, causing deeper necrotizing effects and terrible blood seeping, giving it a crimson skin, small claws, heavy resistance to common firearms, and a more aggressive attitude. Capable of a crouching sprint, clawing attacks, and limited jumping, a Crimson Head presents a significant threat to all but a heavily armed combatant. Essentially rendering sidearms useless, engagement with anything but an explosive or shotgun is highly discouraged.

The process is only halted by immolating (burning) the fallen zombie, decapitation (entirely removing the head) or by blowing out its knee caps, thereby destroying any possibilty for regeneration and mutation. Areas in which a zombie was dispatched and left untended are to be deemed extremely hazardous, and any encounter with a Crimson Head where the combatant does not have access to more powerful weapons (I.E. Grenade Launchers, grenades, assault rifles) are under advisement to flee immediately. If the Crimson Head is killed, it will no longer resurrect itself.

Appears in: Resident Evil (remake)

Green Zombie

Zombies whose bodies bear mutated plant growth, found wandering the Arklay Forest and in the abandoned hospital. They behave the same as "regular" zombies, but emit a cloud of poisonous spores when they are shot or struck. This creates a sort of symbiotic relationship, as the body of the zombie provides nutrition and a host for the plants, while the plants give the zombie poisonous properties.
