HUNTER

The Hunter is a B.O.W. product developed by Umbrella by inserting some genes primarily from reptiles into a fertilized human egg and administering the t-Virus. From the design stage, it was developed to be able to track and kill specific targets with enough intelligence to accomplish simple commands, and possess extremely high aggressiveness, agility and jumping power. Since it left results from actual combat tests suitable for a "hunter", it was named Hunter.

In addition to the above-mentioned performance aspect, the Hunter α type attained practical use as a weapon in terms of cost and was mass produced as a flagship Umbrella B.O.W., and later several variations were produced such as the Hunter β which possesses improved agility and the amphibian-based Hunter γ.

As a B.O.W. with a high degree of perfection the Hunter attracted attention from organizations other than Umbrella, and the opposing organization of Umbrella developed the Hunter II after development data was leaked by Wesker.

The Hunter II and its Sweeper subspecies, in comparison with Umbrella's Hunter which attacks the area around a target indiscriminately, achieved an enhanced degree of perfection as weapons.

Hunter II

It inherited the characteristics of the Hunter α, and the skin of its whole body is covered with scales. It approaches targets with quick movement and tears them with sharp claws on both hands. It was deployed to Rockfort Island in the raid operation by the organization Wesker belonged to.

Sweeper

The individual with a red body deployed simultaneously with the Hunter II. Its athletic abilities are heightened over the Hunter II, and it is good at jumping abundantly to perform multilateral attacks. Since it was used to pursue targets which the Hunter II missed, it was called Sweeper.

Hunter γ

A subspecies of the Hunter based on amphibians which a European Umbrella laboratory developed. Instead of having a sharp perception ability for attacking targets, its vision degenerated. While sensitive to sunlight and dry air, it demonstrated high capabilities in water and was purchased and used by Javier.

"WRITTEN OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS"

UBCS Echo Team

The primary objective of Echo Team is to sweep the city areas and evacuate surviving civilians to inside the clock tower. Give priority to civilians who are employees of Umbrella's business group. (With reward). Revitalized corpses (beings called zombie after death by contamination) have high durability so it will be difficult to prevent them from functioning. Be adequately vigilant.

Evacuation from Operation Area
1:Carry out evacutation at the end of the operation, or when it becomes impossible to continue the mission.
2:Guide the helicopter on standby in the suburbs to the large garden in front of the clock tower.
3:Consider the clock tower bell as a signal of the end of the operation, or to communicate operation failure to all units in the city.

"TOP-SECRET PHOTO FILE"

I still think that it is too early to use the "Demon Sword of Paracelsus" in actual combat, but it can't be helped if it's necessary as our trump card in the mission to seize the G-Virus that was developed by Umbrella.
The power of the rail cannon is sufficient but please be careful as there are many problems.
For the glory of the United States, go smash this magnetic hammer on those who revolt against our country.

Colonel of Technology Franklin Hart

"MEDICAL EQUIPMENT MANUAL"

Umbrella Medical Equipment North American Head Douglas Lauper

To operate the synthesizer for creating vaccine culture fluid, please perform the following items first. The synthesizer operation preparations must be completed.

1:Supply sufficient electrical power.
2:Set culture fluid base in device.

If the operation prepartations for the synthesizer are completed, it can perform culture fluid synthesis. Please perform culture fluid synthesis by operating the five levers. Two gauges show synthesizer rate fluctuation. If the two gauges are simultaneously matched with the synthesis point in the center guage, it will automatically synthesize and create the vaccine culture fluid, and the synthesis operation will be finished.

TYRANT (page 027)

A B.O.W. developed by Umbrella. It was dropped into Raccoon City by Umbrella executive Sergei separately from the Special Forces led by HUNK. There are various types of Tyrant, however the one that was supplied at this time is called T-103 Type, and has a human-like appearance and high intelligence which allows it to carry out commands independently.

The objective the dropped Tyrant was given was "seizure of the G-Virus", but while the target of HUNK was stored in the underground laboratory, the Tyrant's target sample was contained in the necklace which Annette entrusted to Sherry. When it appeared in front of Leon, it targeted neither Leon nor Claire because it was pursuing Sherry.

The dark green trenchcoat can be called the symbol of the Tyrant T-103 Type, it is bulletproof, and at the same time blastproof and also serves as human camouflage. In addition, it also serves as a limiter which controls the power of the virus and if it comes off, it will change to a form called a Super Tyrant. In the Raccoon City destruction incident, when dropped into a blast furnace during the battle with Leon, its coat dissolved and it became a Super Tyrant and came back to life from the blast furnace. It again attacked Leon who was going to escape by a freight train.

The Super Tyrant has very high regeneration capability, and its activity can only be stopped by missiles or high-powered weapons such as antitank guns, and damage must be dealt to an extent that its regeneration does not catch up. Leon obtained a rocket launcher through the cooperation of Ada was thereby able to defeat the Tyrant. If Ada did not meet Leon in the process of escaping from the underground laboratory, a miserable death may have been the outcome.

TYRANT T-103 / SUPER TYRANT (T-103 TYPE) / TYRANT (T-103 MASS PRODUCED TYPE)(page 066 - 067)

The Tyrant series, a B.O.W. based on humans aimed at being the "ultimate life form". After the failure of the Proto Tyrant, the T-002 Type was completed at the Arklay Laboratory and had combat abilities worthy of the name "tyrant", and it was the prototype of the Tyrant series. Afterwards the Tyrant T-103 Type was developed, with the same extraordinary combat abilities, and it became known in the weapons industry as a masterpiece B.O.W. which had high intelligence and closely resembled humans. In addition, the T-103 Type could easily camouflage itself as a human, and was used as the base body of a custom type for the purpose of guarding VIPs.

After the Tyrant T-002, when the Tyrant series is on the verge of death, control of the t-Virus is completely disconnected and they become a "Super Tyrant" which demonstrates greatly exceeded combat and regeneration abilities. This was not planned at the design stage and an artificial limiter was provided to stop them from going out of control and as a result, the Tyrant's product value increased. In addition, in order to restrain becoming a Super Tyrant, it has been confirmed that all main Tyrants after the T-103 Type were equipped with trenchcoats as their limiter.

The techniques provided by developing the Tyrant series were diverted to other B.O.W.s and its characteristics are inherited in the Nemesis-T Type which aimed at strengthening the control system with a parasitic organism, the Bandersnatch which was developed for the purpose of cost reduction, and the Jabberwock S3 which was developed by the opposing organization of Umbrella.

TYRANT T-103 TYPE

For the purpose of acquiring a sample of the G-Virus, it was dropped into Raccoon City by Umbrella executive Sergei. It has a strong protective coat covering its entire body, and is unacceptable as an imperfect weapon.

SUPER TYRANT (T-103 TYPE)

The state when the limiter of the Tyrant T-103 Type is removed. It's offensive strength and agility are greatly improved. In addition, regeneration ability is also strengthened, and it cannot be stopped unless weapons with power equal to heavy weapons or missiles are used.

TYRANT (T-103 MASS PRODUCED TYPE)

The mass production type of the Tyrant T-103 Type. It was brought to the island for training of the Umbrella Special Forces, and was used by Alfred. Because its limiter is removed from the beginning, its nails are small in comparison to a Super Tyrant of the T-103 Type

IVY / POISON IVY / IVY +YX

When the t-Virus leak accident occurred in the Arklay Laboratory, the virus infected a plant in the dormitory and a monstrously huge flesh-eating plant was born. After it was analyzed the plant was called "Plant 42", and after successful miniaturization through selective breeding, gained independant walking ability and became a B.O.W. named "Plant 43", known as Ivy.

The Ivy has high environmental adaptability power and can take in and adapt to harmful substances around it. As an example, in a short time it adapted to the toxic "P-ε gas", and an individual named "Poison Ivy" which was able to exhale toxic discharge itself was ascertained.

As for the faults of the Ivy series, movement speed is slow, and because its body is a plant it is vulnerable to fire. Increasing its resistance to fire was quickly given up due to the body problem, however the proposal to improve its movement speed was submitted several times and led to the development of the "Ivy +YX".

By combining the Ivy with a human gene, huge improvement was observed in the endurance, offensive ability and mobility of the Ivy +YX. However, mass production was shelved as sufficient capability could not be demonstrated in any environments other than warm climates. Afterwards several Ivy +YX prototypes ended up in the hands of Javier, and were used as substitutes for guard dogs of his private residence.

POISON IVY
The Ivy took in the "P-ε gas" and the bud portion discolored purple. Although the "P-ε gas" was developed as a weapon to weaken B.O.W. resistance, the environment adaptability power of the Ivy exceeded the effect of the gas, and the Poison Ivy was produced as a result.

IVY+YX
This mysterious prototype plant was created by Umbrella with the goal of improving the mobility of the Ivy, by incorporating a human gene. The lower half of its body is formed in a shape similar to that of a human, and movement speed is increased compared to the regular Ivy.

Personally, Ivy is one of my favorite creatures in the series. Imagine an immobile plant, which is at the lowest level of the food chain, now able to move and hunt other creatures, isn't it amazing?

He has a very strong sense of justice and does not hesitate to go against orders in order to carry out his righteousness.

Chris was a member of S.T.A.R.S., but came to investigate the Umbrella Corporation and its connection with the virus during the Mansion Incident in July of that year, and made his way to Europe at the time of the Raccoon City destruction in September.

Afterwards, Chris's location was unknown and he was informed that Claire was captured on Rockfort Island by the efforts of Leon. However, when Chris arrived at the island, Claire had already escaped with Steve. Chris learned that the destination of the seaplane which the two boarded was the South Pole, and set out for the South Pole in pursuit of his younger sister.
