Tyrant

One of Umbrella’s primary aims was to create a living, thinking killing machine, one with unmatched combat abilities and high durability, which could also understand and execute complex commands – in their minds, the ultimate bioweapon.

Chimera

Resembling grotesque, half-charred alien corpses, Chimeras are spindly, spider-like humanoids that scrabble around on the walls and ceilings in the secret laboratory beneath the Spencer Mansion, even scuttling through air ducts to get from one room to another.

Lisa Trevor

Lisa Trevor is a terrifying sight. Clothed only in a rotting hospital gown, she is bony and hunched over, clearly showcasing years of captivity and medical abuse. She shuffles rather than walks, howling with agony as she does so.

Hunters

About halfway through Resident Evil Remake, a new type of enemy rears its ugly, scaly head. Most of the zombies in the mansion vanish, replaced by faster, stronger, more agile monsters called Hunters, which are a frightening cross between a reptile and a human.

Web Spinner

The Web Spinner was intended to be deployed to war zones, where it would use its venom to injure combatants before eating them. However, although its increase in size was impressive, it was deemed to have no practicality as a bioweapon, since its lack of intelligence made it uncontrollable.

Neptune

Beneath the Dormitory on the Spencer estate is the Aqua Ring – an underground aquarium of sorts where Umbrella scientists conducted research on aquatic animals. In particular, great white sharks were injected with the t-Virus, creating a new B.O.W. codenamed F1-03 Neptune after the God of the Sea in Roman mythology.

Plant 42

The t-Virus has a substantial and powerful effect on plants as well as animals, as this giant, aggressive, carnivorous plant proves. To defend itself, Plant 42 will whip at intruders with thorny vines or attempt to seize them around the neck and strangle them with its incredible strength.

Crimson Heads

In Resident Evil Remake, zombies that are seemingly killed can, over time, undergo a secondary mutation and ‘resurrect’ as stronger, faster creatures called Crimson Heads. This means that when you’re backtracking through a part of the mansion you think is safe because you’ve cleared all the zombies there, it might now be home to new, deadlier surprises…

Cerberus

For players of the original Resident Evil, there is a scene that seems to define most players’ first recollections of the game: the infamous ‘Cerberus hallway’. As the playable character is moving down an innocuous-looking corridor, with no enemies in sight, a zombified dog suddenly crashes through a window behind you.

Zombie

The door-opening animation ends and you find yourself in a corridor you haven’t been to before. Like most parts of the Spencer Mansion, it’s dimly lit. The fixed camera prevents you from seeing further down the shadowy hallway, so you can’t tell if something is waiting for you, just slightly out of view. You pause, your finger hovering above the control stick, and listen carefully.
