* KickTheSonOfABitch: Yawn is why most of the depraved Arklay research staff is dead, viral outbreak notwithstanding. When the outbreak hit, it went out of control and ate most of the researchers and made the mansion its home.

* ArmorIsUseless: They're animated suits of armor but not all that durable, which can probably be justified by how ancient they are. They are, however, difficult to stagger due to being non-sentient.

* DivergentCharacterEvolution: In the original game, Salazar's bodyguards were pretty much interchangable besides the color of their coats. They initially seem that way in the remake as well, but reveal that they are drastically different from one another as Leon and Ada fight against them.



* OptionalBoss: He attacks Leon directly when he calls for the elevator. He can either try and kill the Verdugo... or HoldTheLine and run away on the elevator as soon as he gets a chance. Killing him is worth it at the very least, as the Verdugo drops the Crown Jewel; when combined with the Crown and Royal Insignia treasures, it forms the Salazar Family Crown, the most expensive treasure in the game sold at 400,000 pesetas.

* DualBoss: The Bella Sisters are always seen as a duo, except for one appearance in the ''[=RE4=]'' remake in the mines where only one show up, but alongside a Dr. Salvador.

* SkippableBoss: In the original, the encounter with the Bella Sisters can be skipped entirely by simply choosing to go through the canyon guarded by another El Gigante instead. You can still go back and do both for more treasure, however. This is no longer the case in the remake, as the second El Gigante was removed in favor of a mandatory fight with the sisters.



* RecurringBoss: After the initial scripted boss fight, different El Gigantes are fought throughout the course of 4. Only Ndesu is one-of-a-kind and never seen after 2-3 in 5.

As per Averted Trope guidelines, instances where a trope does not occur, or is not a relevant fit, should not be added to a work page, unless in certain exceptional circumstances.


* ArmorIsUseless: Averted. Napads are effectively NighInvulnerable unless you manage to blow off their armor or get the right angle and accuracy to target their gaps. Noga-Oklop and Telo-Krljusht J'avo are completely bulletproof where their armor covers them.



* HealingFactor: Averted; despite being a C-Virus B.O.W., and despite being super tough, it lacks even conventional healing ability. Six months later, it still sports the wounds Jake and Sherry gave it with a mining drill. A file mentions the C-Virus didn't even regenerate its lost right arm prior, prompting ArtificialLimbs to compensate.



** Averted with most general Plaga hosts; it's the fact you can't tell that they're infected that makes them scary, with the only tell being their eyes giving off a red glow in dark conditions. This is played straight over a longer period of time, as the host's skin begins to turn deathly pallid and their eyes become cataracted over, suggesting the body eventually dies and begins to decay at some point after the Plaga takes full control.
** Played straight when Plaga expose themselves in response to damage. Most generally emerge from the neck, bursting the head in the process, but upgraded versions can burst through the entire upper body and create a massive jaw on human legs.

* DeadlyUpgrade: According to the research notes, Martinico started off as an ordinary drone Plaga-infectee which got exposed to "The Amber" as an experiment by an enthusiastic researcher in his research. The exposure ended up violently mutating the Plaga in Martinico, until he became a hideous unstoppable borderline-immortal juggernaut who nobody could control anymore and had to be sealed away for everyone's safety.

* AvengingTheVillain: It's implied by the file "Ustanak 2" that part of the reason he's DragonHisFeet after Carla's death (other than his standing orders) is because he's angry and wants revenge on her killers.



* HandicappedBadass: Ustanak may be half blind and down one natural arm, but he's still hard as nails and capable of ripping Jake or Sherry apart in combat.



* PatrollingMook: It generates Oko, grotesque bat-insect creatures that act as moving eyes for Ustanak. If one sees you out in the open, it will quickly shriek and alert him to your location. Thankfully, he only uses them while hunting the protagonists through a cavern.



* SenseImpairedMonster: Ustanak seems to be at least somewhat blind (based on the fold of flesh over one eye,) but his hearing is definitely sharp. Firing a gun in the cavern level will ''rapidly'' cause him to home in on your position.
* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: One of its arm cannons is essentially an oversized shotgun.

* BeastOfTheApocalypse: This is HAOS's intended role - should it reach the surface, it would begin spreading the C-Virus in a similar way to the Lepotica while rapidly spawning smaller clones; this would rapidly result in the C-Virus spreading worldwide, collapsing society and causing TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt.

** The Ubistvo is utterly, chair-leg savaging bonkers. The file for it notes it can't even be properly directed, just pointed in the general direction of a target and let loose.



* ChestBurster: Their method of reproduction involves seemingly implanting a parasite or embryo in a victim's body, which rapidly grows and then bursts out through their chest.



* FaceFullOfAlienWingWong: Implied. Their unique kill scene involves devouring their victim's head, which is followed by a new Rasklapanje bursting out through their dead body's chest.



* FacialHorror: Looking up close shows that one of his eyes is swollen almost shut, his nose is crooked and off-centre, his lips and part of his mouth have been pulled up to expose the gums and broken teeth, and he appears to have a small crater in the side of his skull.



* WasOnceAMan: Despite its overtly cephalopod-like traits, HAOS's head is quite clearly a human skull, its main hands appear very similar to a human's in structure, and examining its chrysalis with a sniper rifle reveals multiple human bodies embedded within. All this strongly implies HAOS is at least partly human.
