* AwesomeButImpractical: [[blue:Zigzagged, but ultimately subverted]]. Tyrants are extremely difficult to create, as only one in about ten million people has the genetic compatibility with the t-Virus to become Tyrants upon infection. However, they are extremely powerful creatures, and once Umbrella develops cloning technology, they really become viable B.O.W.s. Even then, Tyrants are only implacable against infantry and are just as vulnerable as anything else made of meat to tanks and other big guns. As a final note, even the most successful model, the T-103, is prone to freaking out and attacking everybody on sight if it’s damaged too much and at least one of them has gone rogue or attempted to on its own. For all their faults, however, they have seen widespread use on the battlefield from both terror groups and government militaries long after Umbrella's downfall. '''[[red:Trim word cruft.]]'''

* HarmfulToMinors: [[blue:While the Tyrants produced from genetically compatible humans are not this,]] The mass-produced Tyrants are cultivated from the [[blue:most brutal]] torture and murder of children [[blue:imaginable. This makes them literal walking embodiments of terror, befitting their purpose and title]]. '''[[red:Trim word cruft (blue). Delete quote for not showing example.]]'''

!!T-103 Folder

* MadeOfIron: Despite being shambling corpses, zombies are remarkably tough, being able to tank waves of heavy firepower before going down. [[blue:Best illustrated in the opening cinematic of ''Resident Evil 3,'' where the zombies ultimately prevail over the U.B.C.S. and R.P.D.'s last stand. And]] If zombies do go down, they may return as even more resilient Crimson Heads. For all these reasons, Leon suggests that complete destruction of their heads is the most efficient way to take them down. '''[[red:Trim natter (blue).]]'''

* PersonalSpaceInvader: Because their sole instinct is to feed, zombies attack only by grabbing onto their victims [[blue:(aka, your player character)]] and proceeding to chew on them until either they are pushed off or they kill their victim. '''[[red:Remove natter (blue).]]'''

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: '''[[red:Trim natter (blue).]]'''

* HumanoidAbomination: [[blue:These horrific, ugly things]] Lickers are the result of a zombie [[blue:being]] undergoing [[blue:a horrific]] metamorphosis that contorts and twists them into quadrupedal monstrosities that resemble their human selves only in their vague body structure but are otherwise [[blue:an utterly inhuman crime against nature]] monsters hostile to all life except other instances of itself. '''[[red:Fixing grammar and natter (blue).]]'''

* Move Suspended to Outbreak Characters since it is only encountered once in that game.

* BodyHorror: [[blue:It varies, but as zombified dogs, this is a given:]] most of [[blue:them]] dogs appear rotting with protruding bones, whitened eyes, etc. The Plagas-based dogs, Colmillos and Adjules, look relatively "normal" until provoked, at which point they mutate into much more monstrous forms. '''[[red:Trim natter (blue).]]'''
* FacialHorror: Zombie dogs tend to have part of their faces ripped off or mutilated, albeit with no effect on their durability. [[blue:The undisputed king of this is the]] Orthrus' [[blue:however, their]] now-skeletal face [[blue:having]] seemingly merged with a test tube forced into their skull during torturous T-Phobos-based experiments. '''[[red:Trim natter (blue).]]'''

* UndergroundMonkey: [[blue:Giant Spiders get this particularly hard.]] Apart from different names and varying sizes, giant spiders [[blue:they]] almost always function exactly the same. '''[[red:Trim natter (blue).]]'''

* EliteMooks: They are among the deadliest non-boss creatures you'll face in any game they appear in, [[blue:hitting the awful trifecta of]] being very fast, very tough ''and'' very aggressive. The ones in ''Dead Aim'' are even flat-out designated the "Hunter Elite" model. '''[[red:Trim natter (blue).]]'''

!!Crimson Head Folder

* AdaptationalBadass: In the original continuity of ''Resident Evil'' games, zombies are hardly threatening or difficult to put down and more of a nuisance compared to later enemies; the main issue is usually a scarcity of ammo or their sheer numbers. In the 2019 remake of the second game, however, zombies are much tougher than they ever were, being capable of both taking considerable amounts of damage and of randomly reviving from the "dead" at seemingly full health.[[note]][=RE6=] first introduced zombies with the ability to withstand multiple headshots as compensation for the over-the-shoulder aiming style, but those zombies would generally only withstand an average of 3 to 4 shots; [=RE2R=] zombies average about 6 to 12 shots.[[/note]]

* FromBadToWorse: Anyone infected by the t-Virus will develop fever-like symptoms with inflammation of the skin following. The fever eventually passes, but this is merely [[HopeSpot a brief reprieve]]. The immune system has been compromised at this point. Multiple organ failure, necrosis, and severe brain damage soon occur. After several days to a week passing the person is now a [[BodyHorror shambling mindless cannibal]], consuming other zombies, infected corpses, or more preferably, ''live prey''.

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Though this could be said for most of their absences, they most notably don't appear in ''0''. The game was not only built on the same engine as the first game's remake but released not long after. When fans pressed the developers for an answer, they handwaved it with Billy and Rebecca canonically not being in the same rooms long enough to warrant seeing them. [[GameplayAndStorySegregation This makes absolutely no sense from 0's puzzle-based backtracking gameplay, though]].
* FromBadToWorse: Should the zombie be incapacitated, but not destroyed, the t-Virus will cause their decaying bodies to mutate further into a Crimson Head zombie. Further necrosis happens, but now muscle tissue regenerates making them stronger, ''and faster''. They'll grow claws. Terrible blood seepage starts, giving the zombie its crimson-like skin. When they awaken they're more aggressive hunters than ever before. If allowed to mutate again, they'll [[OhCrap become Lickers.]]

[[folder:C-Virus]]
!!C-Zombies Old
A C-Zombie (often just referred to as zombie) is a human mutated specifically to C-Virus exposure via inhalation. Chronologically, they were first independently identified during the 2011 [[Manga/ResidentEvilTheMarhawaDesire Marhawa Desire incident]] and emerged on mass [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil6 in 2013]].

A C-Zombie (often referred to as "zombie") is a human mutated from inhaling the C-Virus. Chronologically, they were first independently identified during the 2011 [[Manga/ResidentEvilTheMarhawaDesire Marhawa Desire incident]] and emerged en masse [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil6 in 2013]].

!!J'avo Old
Humans directly infected with the C-Virus, as opposed to those caught by the airborne variant and become mere zombies. J'avo do not lose their intelligence and gain increased durability and ferocity, but it is their ability to regenerate wounds by triggering selective cellular mutation, allowing them to transform into a variety of different forms, that truly makes them dangerous. In rare cases, they may enter cocoons and undergo a complete genetic transformation, becoming a monster called a Complete Mutation.
\\\
The Edonian Liberation Army used J'avo during the Edonian civil was, and Neo-Umbrella effectively has a private army of J'avo supersoldiers at their disposal.

!!HAOS Old
The brainchild of Carla Radames as leader of Neo-Umbrella. HAOS is a B.O.W. created only to [[OmnicidalManiac end the world]]: when released upon the world, it would unleash the airborne variant of the C-Virus on a planetary scale. In the event of her premature death, there is a contingency plan to release it anyway.

!!Giant Bat Old
You read that right. A giant zombie bat.

!!Giant Bat New
An oversized zombified bat infected with the t-Virus.

[[folder:Resident Evil 2]]
!!Plant 43 Old
An experiment in plant-based B.O.Ws, inspired by data on the mutant plant found at Point 42 in the Arklay laboratory. Results were...less than promising. Whilst voracious and resilient, the Plant 43s were sluggish and mindless creatures. Believed to have been destroyed with Raccoon City, the data on these monsters was recovered and a stronger derivative known as Ivy +YX ended up on the bioweapon black market.
\\\
In the 2019 remake of Resident Evil 2, Plant 43 is reimagined in a considerably different way. There, Plant 43 refers to a botanical abomination not dissimilar to its predecessor that was being experimented on in NEST. With the t-Virus outbreak and rampaging G-Birkin on the rise, Plant 43 subsequently went out of control and infested NEST with vines. From these vines, it would absorb the corpses and zombies scattered about and reanimate them as horrific monstrosities dubbed "Ivy Zombies".

!!G-Spawn Old
"G" is the name given to any mutant created through infection of the G-Virus, which can include the likes of healthy humans like Sherry Birkin. To avoid confusion, Birkin in his mutated form is often referred to as "G-Birkin" and the monster this folder pertains to is universally referred to as the "G-Spawn," an EldritchAbomination that resulted from Birkin impregnating unsuitable hosts. The larvae would burst open from said hosts and quickly grow into the G-Spawn, similarly seeking other human hosts to impregnate.

[[folder:Resident Evil Outbreak]]
!!Leech Man Old
A mass of t-Virus-infected leeches that have taken control of a corpse. It's featured as the centerpiece of the "Hive" scenario in Outbreak File #1. This monster significantly differs from the preceding Mimicry Marcus in a number of ways: it only exists to feed on blood, is a corpse paraded around than being TheWormThatWalks contrary to its appearance, and it is NighInvulnerable to anything short of fire.

[[folder: C-Virus]]
!!C-Zombies Folder
* AttackItsWeakPoint: Unsurprisingly, the massive glowing tumor visible on the Shriekers are their weak points. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil6''.]]'''
* DeadlyLunge: A signature move of the average zombie and Bloodshot is to suddenly leap at the player. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil6''.]]'''
* FinishingStomp: The Whopper will pull this off on a player in a dying state in ''6'' if given the chance. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil6''.]]'''
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Bloodshots are essentially C-Virus counterparts to the Crimson Heads. Just like them, Bloodshots are the result of C-Zombies taking excessive damage and undergoing a V-ACT mutation. They distinguish themselves from their brethren by being deemed worthwhile B.O.W.S. [[VideoGame/UmbrellaCorps and were manufactured]] after 2013. '''[[red: Misuse. Trope is about main characters being replaced by similar lookalikes within the same media.]]'''

!!J'avo Folder
* AttackItsWeakPoint: '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil6''.]]'''
** See that big glowing red tumor-thing in the hollow between a Glava-Smech J'avo's mandibles? ''Shoot it!''
** Napads have a huge chink in their armor under their shoulders; hitting them here, or making a new weakspot by blowing off their armor with a grenade, is the only way to efficiently hurt them.
** Shooting a Ruka-Bedem J'avo anywhere that's not being covered by its shield-arm is a waste of time and ammo.
* KillerGorilla: Napads look something like skinned, armor-plated gorillas. '''[[red: Misuse. Trope is about actual killer gorillas.]]'''
* MesACrowd: Gnezdo can pull this off to confuse their targets. '''[[red:Comment out as ZCE.]]'''
* MultiBoobage: Lepotica is covered in grotesquely breast-like gas sacks. '''[[red: Misuse. Trope is about breasts, not non-breasts.]]'''
* OneHitKill: '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil6''.]]'''
** The Gava-Smech J'avo ''will'' bite you in half in a single shot if you let it get too close.
** Most of the Ubistvo's attacks will put a character into dying status (or skip it entirely and kill them) if they land.
* SissyVillain: Lepotica may, arguably, be female, but its effeminate giggling and squealing still convey this feel. '''[[red:Administrivia/ExamplesAreNotArguable.]]'''
* WallCrawling: The Noga-Trchanje J'avo are capable of doing this... but what would you expect when their lower body has been replaced by a GiantSpider? '''[[red:Comment out as ZCE and delete second half as natter.]]'''

!!Brzak Folder
* EyeScream: Over the course of the battle with Brzak, Leon and Helena will gouge out its eyes. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil6''.]]'''

!!Ogroman Folder
* AttackItsWeakPoint: Killing Ogromen requires grabbing the mechanical pieces hanging of out its back to expose its beating heart, so you can then shoot it. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil6''.]]'''
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: In Jake's campaign, you can finish off the Ogroman by pulling a spike/rib out of his back and plunging it into his exposed heart. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil6''.]]'''

!!Iluzija Folder
* AttackItsWeakPoint: You can ''only'' hurt Iluzija by shooting it in its mouth. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil6''.]]'''
* EyeScream: It's unclear if the Iluzija eyes melted or were just grown over. Still, that's not natural. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil6''.]]'''
* HighVoltageDeath: How Iluzija finally meets its end, as bullets alone proved inefficient. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil6''.]]'''
* MythologyGag: You have to roam through Iluzija's lair, avoiding deadly ambushes, and kill it by shooting it in its open mouth. Very much like the fights against Yawn in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilTheUmbrellaChronicles''. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''MythologyGag/ResidentEvil6''.]]'''
* WasOnceAMan: Somehow, this thing was once a person. '''[[red:Comment out as ZCE.]]'''

!!Ooze Folder
* AbnormalAmmo: Tricorne Oozes shoot bone projectiles from an organic crossbow made from their left arms. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilRevelations''.]]'''

!!Scagdead
* OneHitKill: Scagdeads has a one-hit-kill attack where it grabs the player and uses its bio-chainsaw to saw them to death. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilRevelations''.]]'''

!!Globster
* GracefulInTheirElement: On land, Globster are slow, sluggish and a sitting duck for anyone with a gun and a good aim. Underwater, Globsters are deadly and unstoppable. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilRevelations''.]]'''
* OneHitKill: Underwater Globsters can inflict an unblockable one-hit-kill attack. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilRevelations''.]]'''

!!Sea Creeper
* LogicalWeakness: They're normally invulnerable when submerged, but even in deep water they can still be hurt by explosive rounds. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilRevelations''.]]'''
* OneHitKill: Those encountered in underwater areas can kill the player if they're not shaken off in time. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilRevelations''.]]'''
* SmurfettePrinciple: Sea Creepers are all the end result of t-Abyss infection on human females with the sole exception of Rachael, who mutates into something else entirely. '''[[red: Misuse. Trope is one female in a cast of males.]]'''

!!Scarmiglione Folder
* KnightlySwordAndShield: Scarmigliones' arms end in growths that resemble swords and shields, and they attack with them like they were the real deal. '''[[red: Misuse. Trope is about swords and shields characterizing a Knight-like character.]]'''
* ShieldBash: Scarmiglione will often use their shields to club Jill. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilRevelations''.]]'''
* ShockAndAwe: Damaging Scarmiglione's upper body too much could end up revealing an electrified tentacle that whips around to damage the player. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilRevelations''.]]'''

!!Draghignazzo Folder
* AttackOfTheKillerWhatever: A B.O.W. based on shellfish, but is surprisingly tough and deadly. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilRevelations''.]]'''
* AttackItsWeakpoint: Being covered in shells, you have to wait for an opening and target its soft parts. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilRevelations''.]]'''

!!Malacoda Folder
* AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: The Malacoda themselves are pretty huge compared to a human, but they grow even bigger by wearing the mutated carcass of a whale and using it to attack the ship. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilRevelations''.]]'''
* ClimaxBoss: The battle against the Malacoda-possessed whale is the penultimate boss and resolves part of the story. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilRevelations''.]]'''
* EarlyBirdBoss: At one point on a boat sequence, you're attacked by a swarm of Malacoda and have to gun them down with the boat's machine gun. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilRevelations''.]]'''
* FeedItABomb: How the Malacoda whale is finally put down for good, killing all the other parasites. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilRevelations''.]]'''

!!Wall Blister Folder
* AttackOfTheKillerWhatever: They are the result of the t-Abyss Virus accidentally infecting some barnacles. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilRevelations''.]]'''
* OneHitKill: Their ''only'' attack involves grabbing the player with their tentacle: if they succeed, they'll proceed to slam the unfortunate victim on the ground, grab them with another tentacle, and twist their spine until they break. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilRevelations''.]]'''
* VersionExclusiveContent: The Wall Blister is an enemy type exclusive to console versions. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilRevelations''.]]'''

[[folder:Code Veronica]]
!!Gulp Worm Folder
* SwallowedWhole: It's large enough that it can devour a man in a single swallow, hence its name. It kills Rodrigo by devouring him in this way. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilCodeVeronica''.]]'''
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Uroboros]]
!!In General
* AttackItsWeakPoint: All Uroboros monsters have one or many orange bulbs somewhere on their being that is implied to be their brain and only sensory organs. Destroying it/them will almost always immediately put an end to an Uroboros creature. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ???]]'''
* KillItWithFire: Uroboros monsters are unbelievably vulnerable to being incinerated, as the flames can quickly spread to their core and incidentally destroy it as well. A flamethrower was specifically put into the vicinity of Uroboros Mkonos as a safety precaution during its development. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ???]]'''

!!Reaper Folder
* AttackItsWeakPoint: As they brace their OneHitKill, a large Uroboros core will expose itself on its gut sac. Shooting it there is the only reliable way to defeat a Reaper. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ???]]'''
* DeathOfAThousandCuts: It will take a ''lot'' of damage, but, if you continually blow off their head and arms, they will eventually die from the strain of growing them back. On the other hand, they can deliver this to you should they grab you. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ???]]'''
* {{Expy}}: Similar to Regeneradors, but this time they're cockroaches and can also now instantly kill you. '''[[red:Misuse. Fails Expy criteria.]]'''
* FromNobodyToNightmare: As said, these things used to be ''cockroaches''. You know, the creepy-crawly bugs that run away and hide when you flick the lights on? Now, they're some of the most lethal killing machines in the Resident Evil universe. '''[[red:Needs to be rewritten. Currently a PCE, comment out with note.]]'''
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: Despite not being controlled B.O.W.s or Plagas derived (to distinguish its brethren), Reapers will never attack other non-Reaper enemies in their vicinities. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ???]]'''
* OneHitKill: Their primary attack, if they have all four limbs, is to grab you and ''disembowel you''. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ???]]'''

!!B.O.W.s Folder
* AbnormalAmmo: Splashers throw huge, tumorous parasites full of acidic pus at their victims. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ???]]'''
* InterfaceScrew: The appropriately named Splashers and Slingers are capable of hurling or spewing globs of bile at the player, distorting their screen for a while. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ???]]'''
* OneHitKill: Let a Durga get up close and it will grab the player character, slamming them up and down to death in an inescapable death scene. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ???]]'''
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Resident Evil 0]]
!!Leeches Folder
* CutscenePowerToTheMax: When the story dictates it, they're seen effortlessly killing swathes of civilians and soldiers just by swarming over them. In-game, though, well see below. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil0''.]]'''
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: In cutscenes, Marcus leeches are capable of overwhelming and killing people in seconds if they swarm them. In-game, the player has to deliberately let them kill them because [[JokeCharacter they do 1 point of damage per bite]]. Averted with the ''Outbreak'' leeches, as within the context of that game, they do decent damage if they latch on you. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil0''.]]'''

!!Mimicry Marcus
* DefeatEqualsExplosion: They blow up when they're killed, dealing heavy damage to the player if they're caught up in it. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil0''.]]'''
* HollywoodAcid: It constantly drips and spews acidic bile in everything it does. '''[[red:Move to AcidAttack.]]'''
* KillItWithFire: For how powerful these things are, they are unbelievably vulnerable to fire. Molotov Cocktails and the Grenade Launcher's Flame Rounds are the best way to deal with them. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil0''.]]'''
* TheWormThatWalks: Obviously. '''[[red:Comment out as ZCE.]]'''

!!Eliminators Folder
* BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: They're the product of Marcus experimenting on the t-Virus on apes. When that didn't turn out well, he locked them away in squalor until he felt like he wanted to use them further in dangerous experiments. He treated them so badly that the ones the heroes encountered were said to be severely weakened from malnourishment. '''[[red:Rewrite and move to Marcus' folder.]]'''
* EverythingIsBetterWithMonkeys: Given they're zombie apes that have gone mad from aggression, horribly averted. '''[[red:Delete. Non-notable aversion.]]'''
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: They're basically ''0''[='s=] equivalent of Hunters. Although some Hunters are encountered in the game itself, the Eliminators are the far more recurring EliteMook. '''[[red: Misuse. Trope is about main characters being replaced by similar lookalikes within the same media.]]'''

!!Lurker Folder
* OneHitKill: If they're not shot at right away, they'll grab Rebecca or Billy with their tongue for an inescapable death if they don't have each other nearby. Unfortunately for the player, some of their scripted encounters have this as the case. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil0''.]]'''
* SwallowedWhole: Their OneHitKill. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil0'' and comment out ZCE.]]'''

!!Stinger Folder
* BewareMyStingerTail: Befitting its name, this is its main form of offense. '''[[red:Comment out as ZCE.]]'''
* BlownAcrossTheRoom: If the player tries to inappropriately attack it upclose, it will respond with this. It will also do this upon death if the player is close. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil0''.]]'''
* CycleOfHurting: If the player only attacks it when it raises its claws to strike, it will always stagger back and resume the same attack pattern. It's considered one of, if not the easiest, bosses in the series for this reason. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil0''.]]'''
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Its fatality on low player HP is to hoist them in place with its pincers and do this with its stinger. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil0''.]]'''
* ScaryScorpions: Up to eleven. '''[[red:Comment out as ZCE.]]'''

* CreepyCentipedes: Boy howdy. '''[[red:Comment out as ZCE.]]'''

!!Giant Bat Folder
* InterfaceScrew: Unintentionally. This monster is infamous for exploiting ''0's'' aiming system with its little bats that will cause the player character' aiming to go all over the place. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil0''.]]'''

!!Queen Leech Folder
* BigBad: Of ''0''. '''[[red:Comment out as ZCE.]]'''
* EvilIsNotWellLit: Spends all its time in the darkness of the Training Facility, specifically its basements. This is due to the fact it will die to sunlight. '''[[red:Misuse. Trope is about evil locations being dark.]]'''
* GoneHorriblyRight: It wanted to see the world burn after taking care of Umbrella. While it didn't account for dying, its actions ensured both its goals were fulfilled. '''[[red:Misuse. No unintended positive consequences.]]'''
* OneWingedAngel: Two phases of this. '''[[red:Comment out as ZCE.]]'''

[[folder:Resident Evil]]
!!Chimera Folder
* AwesomeButImpractical: The Arklay team saw it as this, but Sergei begged to differ as he produced them in the Caucasus Laboratory in 2003. Years later, it even found its way into the black market as a common tool of terror on civilian populaces. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil''.]]'''
* FacialHorror: [[blue:While most creatures in the series can fall under this,]] the remake version of the Chimera [[blue:takes the grand prize, as well as]] having (has) human/insect hybrid features such as mandibles and fly-like hair, the thing looks as though it is constantly screaming in agony due to having a human upper jaw with no corresponding lower jaw[[blue:; which, considering it is a hybrid of two species that should not exist together in one body, it probably is]]. '''[[red:Trim natter (blue).]]'''
* OffWithHisHead: They have a move where they hoist the player character up and decapitate them if not shaken off. Non-canonically, this is what they inflicted on Wesker in one of the original game's scenarios. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil''.]]'''

* ElectrifiedBathtub: While the Neptunes become harmless once you drain the lab they inhabit, you can finish off the mother by throwing a fuse box into the puddle beneath her and throwing a switch. This totally fries the box, meaning you won't have to worry about getting shocked when you climb back down. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil''.]]'''
* OneHitKill: Surprising no one, in all their appearances they have an attack to devour the player whole in one go. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil''.]]'''

!!Yawn Folder
* OptionalBoss: In the remake, scaring it off in the first encounter isn't necessary, as the player can just run out of the room after taking the Death Mask. [[blue:Note that doing this while Richard is helping you fight it will result in it immediately killing him and taking his otherwise obtainable assault shotgun from you]]. '''[[red:Remove natter (blue).]]'''
* SwallowedWhole: Yawn has a OneHitKill where it grabs the player character and devours them. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil''.]]'''

!!Plant 42
* HollywoodAcid: It's capable of spewing copious amounts of acid. '''[[red:Move to AcidAttack.]]'''
* KillItWithFire: Fire grenades are the best weapon against Plant 42. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil''.]]'''

!!Wasp Folder
* AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: Unlockable concept art for ''Outbreak'' explored the possibility of mutant wasps bigger than humans as enemies. It didn't make the cut for probably being too disturbing, but the ones seen in-game are roughly the size of your player character. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilOutbreak''.]]'''
* ArtisticLicenseGeography: These wasps are clearly [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asian_giant_hornet Japanese giant hornets]], which aren't wasps, to begin with, but wouldn't be found as natives anywhere near the American Midwest. Concept art for ''Outbreak'' indicated the developers tried to rectify this by retconning them into yellow jacket wasps, but this didn't pass. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil''.]]'''
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Resident Evil 2]]
!!Plant 43 Folder
* AllThereInTheManual: The Biohazard 2 Official Guide Book contains a lot of information on Plant 43's biology, including that they use hydraulic systems to move (which is why they're so slow), they feed on ambient moisture, and they're hermaphroditic, with the flower-bud "arm" containing the pistil. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil2''.]]'''
* AttackItsWeakPoint: '''[[red:Not a characterization trope.]]'''
** In ''Umbrella Chronicles'' and ''The Darkside Chronicles'', they're the only enemy in the game other than zombies that can be killed instantly with a single shot to a precise point - the exact center of the leaves that make up their mouths, which is only revealed when they open their mouths. '''[[red:Move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilTheDarksideChronicles''/''VideoGame/ResidentEvilTheUmbrellaChronicles''.]]'''
** In the 2019 remake, Ivies possess pulsing yellow pods on their bodies and are paralyzed if these are specifically targeted. There's an unlockable acquired by downing one in such a manner. '''[[red:Move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil2Remake''.]]'''
* DarkerAndEdgier: One of the stated reasons the Ivy Zombies replaced the original Ivies in the 2019 remake of ''2'' is the latter were often cited as the least popular and scariest monsters in the franchise. Lo and behold, instead of being rather silly-looking plant things with legs, they're now reimagined as a zombie-plant hybrid with BodyHorror, NightmareFace, and nigh-invulnerability to emphasize them as a genuine threat compared to the lumbering Ivies of the original game. '''[[red:Misuse. Trope is about adaptations of light-hearted works being more serious.]]'''
* KillItWithFire: Ivies are particularly weak to fire attacks, so Leon's flamethrower and Claire's [[DepletedPhlebotinumShells fire grenades]] are the best weapons to use against them. In the 2019 game, this is the only way to actually kill them for good. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil2''/''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvil2Remake Remake]]''.]]'''
* MythologyGag: The 2019 version of the Ivy is basically an adaptation of a little-known enemy called the "Green Zombie", a zombie infested by mutated plants, which only appeared in a single mission in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilOutbreak''. Plant 43 itself also pays significant homage to Plant 42 from the original ''Resident Evil'' ''and'' the "Huge Plant" also from ''Outbreak'', a botanical abomination that controlled the Green Zombies. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil2''/''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvil2Remake Remake]]''.]]'''
* OneHitKill: The Ivy Zombies are only capable of a OneHitKill if they're not repelled with a defensive item. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil2Remake''.]]'''

!!G-Spawn Folder
* AttackItsWeakPoint: The 2019 G-Spawn is more vulnerable to shots in its shoulder-mounted eye. Some G-Spawn have a hardened mass covering their eye that needs to be shot off before it can be targeted. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil2Remake''.]]'''
* TakingYouWithMe: They can do this in the 2019 remake. After a G-Spawn is killed, it will rear up and collapse on whatever happens to be in front of it. Should that happen to be the player, they will take some considerable damage, possibly even lethal if they're hurt to begin with or on Hardcore. Unless they dodge, however, which should be rather easy unless there are other enemies around. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil2Remake''.]]'''

!!Alligator Folder
* OneHitKill: Of course, if the Alligators ever catch up to the player character, they're done for. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil2''/''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvil2Remake Remake]]''.]]'''
* YouDontLookLikeYou: It's even bigger in the remake, and it's proportionally stockier, with a thicker body and shorter snout. Additionally, it is covered in moss and plant matter. '''[[red:Misuse. Trope is about characters being completely unrecognizable.]]'''
* YourHeadASplode: In the original ''2'', you can save a ton of ammo by tricking the alligator into eating a gas can, then shooting it. In the remake, this is the only way to beat it. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil2''/''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvil2Remake Remake]]''.]]'''

!!Giant Moth Folder
* AdaptedOut: Doesn't appear in the 2019 remake of ''2''. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil2Remake''.]]'''
* AllWebbedUp: A negative condition met in the "Below Freezing Point" scenario of ''Outbreak'' will see the beast kidnap the player character and web them up. The player can break free but will be poisoned. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilOutbreak''.]]'''
* KillItWithFire: Fire will burn off its wings and render it a flailing mess that's easy to finish off. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil2''.]]'''
* MiniBoss: In all its appearances, it serves as this. '''[[red:Comment out as ZCE.]]'''

!!Cockroaches Folder
* JumpScare: One of the furnaces in the morgue in the remake of ''2'' only contains these bugs, and it's where they're first seen. Leon/Claire's audible disgust and surprise indicate they'll attack...but they don't, and ''never'' do when passed by later. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil2Remake''.]]'''
* OneHitKill: In the original game, if they're allowed to swarm up on the player without being shaken off, [[CruelAndUnusualDeath they'll eat you alive]]. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil2''.]]'''
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Resident Evil 3]]
!!Drain Deimos/Brain Suckers
* AllThereInTheManual: The Capcom-released {{sourcebook}} "Biohazard 3 Last Escape Official Guidebook" states that Drain Deimos and Brain Suckers are both irregular mutations, having spontaneously developed from fleas that fed on T-virus infected hosts. Drain Deimos specifically fed on zombies, whilst Brain Suckers fed on "something else", which is why they look so different. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil3Nemesis''.]]'''
* ContinuitySnarl: It's never made clear whether Drain Deimos and Brain Suckers are B.O.Ws like the Chimera they resemble, or if they are spontaneous mutants; sources have contradicted each other on the topic. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil3Nemesis''.]]'''
* InterfaceScrew: When implanted with Drain Deimos parasites in the remake, Jill suffers from a vision-blurring "throbbing veins" effect on the screen, as well as moving more slowly than normal. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil3Nemesis''.]]'''
* UndergroundMonkey: Not only is the Brain Sucker a recolored, two-headed, slightly tougher version of the Drain Deimos with a poisonous bite, but both creatures are based on the Chimera from ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil1'', which has fueled the debate on whether or not they're B.O.W.s. '''[[green:Keep.]]'''
** In the remake, the Brain Sucker was removed and the reworked Drain Deimos gained a new status effect to take over its role. '''[[red:Misuse.]]'''
* YouDontLookLikeYou: Downplayed; Drain Deimos in the remake still look largely the same as their past incarnations, but are green in color and smaller in size, having gone from towering over Jill to being just barely her height when they rear up on their hind legs. '''[[red:Misuse. Trope is about characters being completely unrecognizable.]]'''

!!Sliding Worms
* AdaptedOut: As a result of the Gravedigger itself being omitted, they don't appear in the 2020 remake. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil3Remake''.]]'''

'''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilOutbreak''.]]'''

[[folder:Resident Evil: Revelations 2]]
!!The Afflicted Folder
* {{Expy}}: '''[[red:Misuse. Fails Expy criteria.]]'''
** The Afflicted are rather like the Haunted of ''VideoGame/TheEvilWithin'', being murderously insane, vicious humanoids mutilated by using nails, barbed wire, shards of metal and other detritus to rend, gouge, stab and impale themselves.
** Ironheads look rather a lot like [[VideoGame/SilentHill2 Pyramid Head]], being tall, nearly naked, and heavily muscled male humanoids with elongated, face-enclosing masks and carrying two-handed weapons.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: '''[[red: Misuse. Trope is about main characters being replaced by similar lookalikes within the same media.]]'''
** General Afflicted in their disposition and tactics bear a remarkable resemblance to the C-Zombies and infantry J'avo of ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil6''. This makes sense when one considers ''Revelations 2'' was directly built on assets from that game and had a very minimal development budget.
** The Ironhead is pretty much a stand-in for the Executioner Majini from ''5''.
* UnstoppableRage: The essence of their beings. '''[[red:Comment out as ZCE.]]'''

!The Mold
!!Old Description
The Mold is a genus of fungus originating somewhere around the mountainy terrains of Eastern Europe. While much of their origins are currently shrouded in mystery, what is known is that Mold is produced by an EldritchAbomination known as the Fungal Root (dubbed "Megamycete" via localization), a monstrous alien organism that absorbs and stores the consciousness of other organisms that stumble across it. In 1919, a biologist named Miranda discovered the Fungal Root, linking her consciousness with the super colony. Hoping to revive her deceased daughter Eva after supposedly seeing her conscience in the Fungal Root — dubbed "Black God," Miranda derived the Cadou from the Mold, a parasitic microorganism intended to create a suitable host to implant her conscience into. This project failed with most of the victims becoming monsters known as Lycan.

In 2000, Miranda formed a mutually beneficial collaboration with The Connections, a crime syndicate formed by ex-Umbrella founder Brandon Bailey. The organization desired to produce B.O.W.s capable of mind control through the Mold's mutagenic properties. Through gene splicing Eve's DNA with the Mold, they created the B.O.W. E-001, naming it Eveline for its human cover. Eveline rampaged during a naval skirmish with the PMC Blue Umbrella in October 2014, inadvertently being set loose upon the world when the Baker family in Louisiana rescued her from the shipwreck. E-001 subsequently mind-controlled the family, producing a second Fungal Root and colony of twisted Molded monsters.

Mold-derived monsters and mutants serve as the main enemies of ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil7'' and ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilVillage''. The implications of the Fungal Root also carry great repercussions for the future of the series, effectively making Mold-derived creatures the primary enemies of the third-generation of mainline '' Resident Evil'' games.

The Mold is a genus of fungus originating somewhere around the mountainy terrains of Eastern Europe. Mold is produced by an EldritchAbomination known as the Fungal Root (dubbed "Megamycete"), a monstrous alien organism that absorbs and stores the consciousness of other organisms that stumble across it.

!E-001
!!Old Description
E-001, properly named "Eveline", is the first Mold-derived B.O.W. and was created to subvert enemies without the need for combat through mind control. Appearing in hallucinations as a small girl, which was her actual physical form in the past, she has rapidly regressed to an elderly state without the aid of the Connections' resources after going rogue.

Under siege from anti-bioterror forces, Eveline was covertly transported on the natural gas tanker Annabelle by her caretakers Mia and Alan. She lost control and destroyed the ship, eventually drifting into the Louisiana bayou in the shipwreck, ultimately being rescued by the Baker family. She repaid their kindness by enslaving them to her will in her perverse idea of having a genuine family, driving the Bakers to madness and creating a super Mold colony within the region.

She serves as the main antagonist of ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil7''.

!The Baby
!!Old Description
An unspeakably horrific monster that Ethan encounters in the basement of Donna Beneviento's house. Due to Donna's hallucinogenic powers, it is deliberately left unanswered if the Baby [[YourMindMakesItReal is entirely a figment of Ethan's escalating insanity]] or a real creature that merely appears the way it does due to his inner fears warping the basement per imagination.

An experimental Soldat distinguished by the aircraft engine in place of a torso. Only one is known to exist. ''Intended'' to be the baddest Soldat of them all, it was simply deemed an EpicFail by Heisenberg for its uncontrollable aggression and ''massively'' reduced intelligence, accidentally having lost both its arms to its propellor blades. Nevertheless, he keeps it around, eventually siccing it on Ethan when he refuses his offer of an alliance.

!!New Description
An experimental Soldat distinguished by the aircraft engine in place of a torso. Only one is known to exist. Its uncontrollable aggression and propeller blade arms make it highly dangerous foe.

[[folder:Trope Changes]]
!General Molded Folder
* AmbiguousSituation: The game is a little contradictory about whether they are, essentially, fungus-infested zombies created to be the "drones" of the {{Hive Queen}}'s family, or if they're actually a sort of fungal {{golem}}. In the guest house at the prologue, you can find a document with a list of names of people who've died or "turned" after exposure to the Mold. Likewise, before your first encounter with a Molded, you find a note on a whiteboard talking about successful and failed transformations, a topic repeated in the incinerator room. Finally, when you return with the D-Series Arm, you find Deputy Anderson's head, partially transformed into a Molded's head, in the trailer fridge. However, in the salt mine lab, you can find a part of a Research & Development Report that notes Eveline has the ability to form "organisms" by manipulating the mycelia (fungal filaments) she has extruded and allowed to grow across her environment, which are explicitly referred to as "the Molded". Files in the main game and the ''Not A Hero'' DLC confirms at least some of the Molded in the Baker mansion were once human transformed by Eveline once they don't satisfy her as members of her "family". '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil7Biohazard''.]]'''
* ArtificialZombie: Taken to up to eleven; it turns out that the Molded aren't even animated corpses, they're actually filaments of fungus that have been animated and directed by a HiveQueen figure. They can still use human corpses as "fuel", as proven by the way that the deputy's severed head is sprouting a Molded's mouth out of where his head was chopped open, but they can simply form from the mycelia that an E-Series can excrete from their own bodies. '''[[red:Misuse. Not a dead person brought back because of science.]]'''
* BoomHeadshot: The fastest way of disposing of the Molded, with the exception of the Fat Molded. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil7Biohazard''.]]'''
* BossInMookClothing: The Fat Molded, ceremonially christened as "[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Fat Man]]" by Lucas, are the toughest and worst non-boss enemies that Ethan can face. Especially when they come in ''[[ThisIsGonnaSuck pairs]]''. Fortunately, there are only about four of them in the whole game and the last two are easy to take out if you keep the remote bombs that Mia took from the wrecked ship. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil7Biohazard''.]]'''
* BlobMonster: Although they don't show these abilities much, they appear and retreat by oozing their way up from the ground as a thick slime. '''[[red:Delete first part of sentence for natter.]]'''
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Not a single one of these monsters appear in ''Village'', possibly reinforcing the notion the Molded enemies seen in ''7'' are unique products of Eveline. '''[[gold:Second opinion needed. Misuse?]]'''
* DecapitatedArmy: Averted. Eveline's death does ''nothing'' to stop the Molded or the Mold from replenishing their numbers, evolving into new forms, or hindering its spreading into the surrounding areas. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil7Biohazard''.]]'''
* DefeatEqualsExplosion: To add insult to injury, once the Fat Molded finally goes down, they blow up, in a final ditch effort to take their killers down with them. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil7Biohazard''. Delete "To add insult to injury" for natter.]]'''
* HollywoodAcid: The disgusting SignatureAttack of the Fat Molded is to puke out a stream of acidic bile. '''[[red:Move to AcidAttack.]]'''
* NotSoImaginaryFriend: The very origin of their existence, as the Molded are more akin to a lonely child's [[ImaginaryFriend imaginary friends]] in terms of function. Fitting, considering the [[TykeBomb true]] [[LonelyDollGirl nature]] of the Mold's HiveQueen. '''[[gold:Second opinion needed. Misuse?]]'''
* TheSneakyGuy: Crawler Molded are fairly inaudible when on the move; at one point in Lucas' barn, a particularly devious Crawler will sneak up on the player in such a way it's impossible to see coming unless the player walks backward in advance. '''[[red:Misuse. Not a part of a team and does not function as recon.]]'''
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Teaser sources differed on whether they're supposed to be called the Molde'''d''' or the Molde'''r'''s, but it seems that the former is official. '''[[red:Misuse.]]'''
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Visually, they look a lot like Regenerators from ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4'' or the Bloodshot from ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil6'', with perhaps a dash of the Oozes from ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilRevelations''. One of the Molded variants resembles the lickers (sans the tongue), moving on all fours and leaping when attacking. '''[[red: Misuse. Trope is about main characters being replaced by similar lookalikes within the same media.]]'''

!!Mama Mold Folder
* HopelessBossFight: It's encountered early on in Chris' campaign and will remain where it spawns, but it's scripted to be impossible to kill until the proper boss fight. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil7Biohazard''.]]'''
* HollywoodAcid: Just like the average Fat Molded, it vomits a stream of acidic bile as its primary attack. '''[[red:Move to AcidAttack.]]'''
* TimeLimitBoss: The Mama Mold intercepts Chris just before he can dunk the explosives on his wrist in nitrogen. The player has to quickly slay the beast before time runs out. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil7Biohazard''.]]'''
* UnwinnableByMistake: The durability of the Mama Mold and its boss fight being timed enforces a supply check on the player: if they inappropriately used their ammunition beforehand or don't have enough firepower, the fight is unwinnable and necessitates a game restart. '''[[red:Misuse. Not a mistake on the developers' part.]]'''

[[spoiler:Deal enough damage and you'll break off the mask, revealing all that's left of Jack Baker underneath.]] '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil7Biohazard''.]]'''
* BigBad: [[spoiler:After Lucas's death]], he became the major threat and FinalBoss. '''[[red:Misuse. Character is not the BB of this game (E-001 is).]]'''
* BoxingBattler: The Swamp Man is ''remarkably'' capable in a fist fight. '''[[red:Comment out as ZCE.]]'''

* EmptyShell: [[spoiler:The Swamp Man possesses none of Jack's personality, only vague information that manifests in an obsession with Zoe and human-like intelligence. For all intents and purposes, it's a highly advanced Molded that grew from his body]].
** On the other hand, [[spoiler:the Swamp Man can actually speak, responding to Joe's taunting during their final fight by screaming "Shut up!" and "Die!" repeatedly in a horrible, gurgling voice. Also, rather than finish Joe when it had the chance, the Swamp Man puts him in a box of some kind and chucks him in the swamp.]] '''[[red:Delete as natter.]]'''
* {{Expy}}: Of ComicBook/SwampThing and/or ComicBook/ManThing. Like them, it's a swamp-dwelling once-human monstrosity seemingly made of animate muck, although it seems to be a little closer to Man-Thing in its physique and implied personality (or lack thereof). Its name is even a portmanteau of the prefixes of both their names. '''[[red:Misuse.]]'''

* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: [[spoiler:After all the terrible, terrible, ''terrible'' shit Jack has went through, take all that and pile upon it the fact that the Mold has brought him back as a barely-human husk, almost everyone in his family bar Zoe is dead, and he’s pretty much all alone in the world. In fact, it’s not hard to interpret his desire to bring Zoe back to the house as an insane attempt to salvage what he has left. It’s all frankly downright depressing. It’s no wonder his sanity was completely destroyed. The only saving graces left for him are that Zoe survives the events of the game and goes back to living her life, and that [[MercyKill Jack finally receives the peace in death that he has craved for so long.]]]] '''[[red:Delete "In fact..." for YMMV and natter.]]'''

!!E-001 Folder
* AdvancingBossOfDoom: The second phase of the final battle sees Eveline's face lumbering toward Ethan in a small attic he can't navigate around. If she gets close, she'll eat him alive. Shooting her in the face will push her back, and enough damage will segue the phase to the outdoor battle. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil7Biohazard''.]]'''
* AmbiguousSituation: The ending of ''Village'' reveals that Rose Winters is her reincarnation as a result of the Mold transferring her consciousness and memories to her body, but how separate Eveline and Rose are and how much they are the same is currently debatable. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilVillage''.]]'''
* AssimilationBackfire: Initiating Ethan into her "[[HiveMind family]]" backfired when she discovered that he didn't want to be her "daddy" at all and started to fight back. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil7Biohazard''.]]'''
* AttackItsWeakPoint: In the final battle, Evie's only apparent weak point is her face, and even then it can be difficult to tell if you're actually damaging her or just annoying her until you get the Albert-01. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil7Biohazard''.]]'''
* BackupFromOtherworld: In ''Village'', it's implied her memories live on in Rose through the inactive Mold that both Ethan and Mia are still infected with and passed on to their daughter. She shows up in the finale to goad Ethan into a HeroicSecondWind and seemingly starts screwing with Miranda's own control over the Mold before the final battle, giving Ethan a chance to actually kill her. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilVillage''.]]'''
* BerserkButton: Do ''not'' refuse to be in her "family". Or insult her. '''[[red:Comment out as ZCE]]'''
* BlownAcrossTheRoom: The gimmick phase before the final boss fight sees Eveline suffering a VillainousBreakdown, blowing Ethan across the room with RazorWind to keep him from injecting her with a serum. Ethan has to successfully block during these intervals to get close to her. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil7Biohazard''.]]'''
* DisproportionateRetribution: She makes Alan, one of her {{Parental Substitute}}s, puke his guts out and die a horrible death after [[BerserkButton he calls her a bitch]]. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil7Biohazard''.]]'''
* TheDogBitesBack: From beyond the grave, no less! In ''Village'' it's revealed her "mother" Miranda created her and her siblings as nothing more than a potential vessel for Miranda's actual dead daughter Eva to be "reborn" through using the Mold's ability to hold memories from those it infects. And when they failed in this purpose, Miranda discarded them all to endless experimentation and torture. Well, Eveline's memories continued to live on through the Mold in the Winters family, and she screws Miranda over royally in the finale of ''Village'' by goading Ethan into a HeroicSecondWind after Miranda leaves him for dead, and then breaks part of Miranda's connection to the Mold through Rose, leading to Miranda finally getting offed by the heroes. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilVillage''. Needs trimming.]]'''
* DoingInTheWizard: Two keynotes that you can find reveal that the key to her psychic control involves infesting the brains of compatible hosts with fungus and broadcasting signals through pheromones that the fungus responds to.

* {{Expy}}: Of Alma Wade from ''VideoGame/{{FEAR}}''. One of the developers of that game even worked on ''Resident Evil 7.'' '''[[red:Comment out as ZCE]]'''
* FailedASpotCheck: Despite hamming it up with psychopathy to avoid suspicion, Eveline ''completely'' failed to notice Lucas' blatantly suspicious acts of being above her control despite the degree of surveillance she casts over the Baker estate. Most egregiously, she didn't notice what he was up to in the Salt Mines, where he would meet Connections associates to disclose his findings. This went on for ''years''. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil7Biohazard''.]]'''
* FinalBoss: Of 7's base game. '''[[red:Comment out as ZCE.]]'''
* {{Foil}}: A very deliberate one to Umbrella's prized Tyrant B.O.W. super soldiers. Whereas the Tyrants are hulking, [[RatedMForManly musclebound]] brutes with [[DumbMuscle little cognitive thought]] that emphasize force above all else, the E-Type B.O.W.s Eveline descends from are designed to contrast this in every way by appearing as [[TheyLookLikeEveryoneElse unassuming little girls]] with high reasoning skills and the ability to subvert combat through MindControl. '''[[red:Misuse. Characters never interact.]]'''
* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: Her hallucinatory form takes the form of the 10-year-old girl she once was even though she is now an elderly woman. '''[[red:Misuse. Trope is about using a normal form to communicate when true form would be disturbing.]]'''
* GoneHorriblyRight: She was created by the [[FunWithAcronyms NEXBAS (Next-generation EXperimental BAttlefield Superiority)]] Initiative as the ultimate subversion agent; a B.O.W that could blend into the background with its human-like appearance, all whilst dispersing fungal spores that can be used to either generate expendable soldier-units or take control of the enemy's soldiers and civilian population. It worked wonders... a pity they couldn't control her. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil7Biohazard''.]]'''
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Her RapidAging and PowerIncontinence are both the direct result of her killing her handlers, destroying the tanker, and enslaving the Baker family. These actions ended up cutting her off from the medication she needed to keep her powers and their side effects in check. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil7Biohazard''.]]'''
* JustEatHim: What she mainly tries to do to Ethan in the final battle. She'll do just this if the player somehow fucks up. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil7Biohazard''.]]'''
* KickTheDog: She's a really nasty little girl, after all. Let's count the most notable ways. '''[[red:Delete as natter]]'''
** Murdering the entire ''Annabelle'' ship crew, a lot of whom couldn't possibly be complicit in her personal torment. '''[[red:Misuse, advances the plot]]'''
** Taking control of the Bakers, turning them into murderous monsters [[UngratefulBitch mere moments after showing her kindness and saving her life]]. '''[[red:Misuse, advances the plot.]]'''
** Tormenting Zoey over the futility of her attempts at escaping or saving her family. '''[[green:Keep]]'''
** And last but not least, when she shows up to Ethan in the Black God's HiveMind, she vaguely taunts him over his inevitable impending death before reluctantly helping him defeat Miranda. '''[[green:Keep]]'''
* KubrickStare: A master of these in her child form, as one can see from her official art render to the right. '''[[red:Comment out as ZCE]]'''
* LonelyDollGirl: A horrifying yet tragic example: the homemade "[[MeatPuppet dolls]]" (Molded) she plays with aren't enough to give her what she [[IJustWantToBeLoved wants the most...]] '''[[red:Delete "A horrifying yet tragic example:" as natter]]'''
* MindRape: Her victims begin seeing hallucinations soon after infection. This breaks away at their mental resistance, allowing her to take control. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil7Biohazard''.]]'''
* MusicalSpoiler: There is occasionally a [[SongsInTheKeyOfPanic soft but shrill strain]] used to announce that you're BeingWatched by E-001. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil7Biohazard''.]]'''
* MythologyGag: '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil7Biohazard''.]]'''
** Her final form bears a remarkably uncanny resemblance to [[Videogame/ResidentEvil6 Carla Radame's]] C-Virus-induced mutation. Carla can even produce humanoid monsters like the Molded from her newfound biology just like Eveline.
** The first phase of the final battle against her hideously mutated form is a blatant CallBack to Morpheus' final battle in the rather obscure ''Resident Evil: Dead Aim''. Just like Bruce, Ethan's back is pushed directly into a wall as an eldritch-like mass of biomatter advances upon him, and only shooting the face will cause it to temporarily retreat backward.
* OutsideContextProblem: Downplayed; Eveline's powers apparently stem from infectious fungi, rather than the viruses [[note]]Progenitor, T, G, T+G, T-Veronica, T-Abyss, T-Phobos, Uroboros, C, A[[/note]] and macro-parasites [[note]]Nemesis-Alpha, Nemesis-Beta, Las Plagas[[/note]] seen in games up until now. Early speculation was about the problem being supernatural, but she's still a genetically-engineered bioweapon. '''[[red:Possible misuse? If not, not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil7Biohazard''.]]'''
* RuleOfSymbolism: [[http://i.imgur.com/TIrxzqA.jpg A late part of the story has the image of an enormous doll standing on top of a wooden chair at a family dinner, one chair kicked over, two standing subservient and one artificial.]] It represents Eveline's entire worldview in a nutshell. She's the doll, the ruler of the Baker family despite being an artificial addition to it, and has kicked over Zoe's chair to take her place as their daughter. The artificial chair represents Lucas, as he is not under her control but still pretends to be. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil7Biohazard''.]]'''
* VomitIndiscretionShot: Pukes up Mold irregularly due to her unstable nature, which we, unfortunately, see firsthand now and then. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil7Biohazard''.]]'''
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: A more sympathetic interpretation of her. While clearly gloating in her evil and throwing sociopathic temper tantrums when she doesn't get her way, Eveline was an ArtificialHuman who was ruthlessly experimented on and turned into a living bioweapon, completely isolated from any kind of normal life except a caretaker who views watching her as just another job. When Ethan is on the verge of defeating her, she breaks down in tears, seemingly unable to understand why everyone wants her dead. '''[[gold:Second opinion needed. Seems to be YMMV for ACI in disguise.]]'''
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: She says this nigh verbatim when Mia furiously denounces her as being “family” during her offer to "reconcile." Complete with EvilLaugh. '''[[red:Move to Mia's folder/page.]]'''

!!Lycan Folder
* AmbiguousSituation: It's unknown if Lycan are capable of infecting normal humans to increase their numbers ala t-Virus monsters. Though we witness people becoming Lycan after being injured, it's unclear if they were simply infected with Cadou eggs beforehand. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilVillage''.]]'''
* ArrowsOnFire: On occasions, Ethan will encounter ones with bows and arrows, with the arrows always being on fire. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilVillage''.]]'''

!!Uriaș Folder
* BaldOfEvil: In contrast to their hairy cousins, Uriaș Drac are completely bald. '''[[red:Comment out as ZCE]]'''
* BossArenaIdiocy: Owing to poor game design, the Uriaș Drac are subject to this despite being set up as the toughest optional encounters in ''Village.'' Both Dracs are fought in very open arenas catered to them - but scripted to deaggro should Ethan run a certain distance; there is ''nothing'' preventing a player from fleeing at any point should they desire, unlike major scripted fights. A player wishing to save precious ammunition can simply lead Uriaș Drac to the chokepoint of deaggroing and knife them to death with them as they ineffectually go back and forth with engaging and desisting combat. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilVillage''.]]'''
* KingMook: To the common Lycan enemies. '''[[red:Comment out as ZCE.]]'''
* TheBattleDidntCount: During the initial Lycan ambush, Uriaș can be defeated for a vast amount of treasure. Unlike all other Lycans though, and unlike his mandatory boss fight, Uriaș just falls over and does not calcify, and is then back up and on his feet after Ethan is overwhelmed. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilVillage''.]]'''

!!Moroaicǎ Folder
* AmbiguousSituation: The existence of the Moroaicǎ and Samcă casts an unanswered question on the Molded monsters that Eveline created in ''7''. Despite being corpses reanimated by Mold, it's unknown why these monsters turn up instead of the Molded, who make no appearances in ''Village.'' It possibly reinforces the theory the Molded are entirely unique products of Eveline's imagination and that the Moroaicǎ are actually the standard outcome of a corpse reanimated by the Mold. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilVillage''.]]'''
* ItCanThink: Extremely downplayed. Though the Moroaicǎ can grasp and swing primitive weapons, they're textbook zombies otherwise. '''[[red:Misuse.]]'''
* SamusIsAGirl: They all have female frames upon closer inspection. Considering the Dimitrescu's tendencies to abduct young women and even some of them were turned into monsters against their will, it makes perfect sense. '''[[red:Misuse. Not an ActionGirl who is mistaken as male.]]'''

!!Baby Folder
* AdvancingWallOfDoom: Its method of attack. Thankfully, it's easy to dodge by running in the opposite direction. '''[[red:Possible misuse. Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilVillage''.]]'''
* AmbiguousSituation: Whether this thing actually exists is hard to tell. Ethan is implied to be under mind control while in the house and can't rely on his senses there. For what it's worth, though, this thing indeed ''can'' kill you if you let it get too close, but it's deliberately unclear whether it's some kind of tangible creature that appears to Ethan as a demonic fetus, or if it's all in his head and he's trapped in a YourMindMakesItReal situation. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, already on ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilVillage'' page.]]'''
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Most of the puzzles Ethan has to solve in the basement, using a pair of scissors to cut the bandages around the Mia mannequin's chest to retrieve an item and entering a well to retrieve another, symbolize Ethan entering a person's womb and the baby coming out from the mannequin. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilVillage''.]]'''
* HopelessBossFight: You face this... ''thing'' in a NoGearLevel. Hurting it is ''impossible''. '''[[red:Misuse. Not forced to fight it, not forced to lose.]]'''
* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: For a given value of "mundane", but there's no indication of whether or not it's actually a real monster or simply one of Lady Beneviento's illusions, with her preying on Ethan's fear and guilt over losing his wife and child. Given the nature of the ''Resident Evil'' universe, it's probably a bit of both. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilVillage''.]]'''
* NonMaliciousMonster: There's no indication that it's actively malevolent. It goes after Ethan to eat him the same way any normal human baby would put anything it sees in their mouths. '''[[red:Misuse. Shoehorned comparison.]]'''
* NoGearLevel: Your equipment is temporarily gone throughout the segment. You're forced to flee from it. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilVillage''.]]'''
* OneHitKO: Its only method of attack. [[strike:See SwallowedWhole below.]] '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilVillage''.]]'''
* OutsideGenreFoe: In a gameplay sense. You're forced to escape and hide from it, rather than the normal shoot your way out like the rest of the game. '''[[red:Shoehorned misuse.]]'''
* RuleOfSymbolism: Its grotesque face, toddler-like vocalizations, grasshopper body, and dogged pursuit of the player are likely a manifestation of Ethan learning that his daughter is a B.O.W. and that he failed her as a parent by letting her get captured and killed. '''[[red:YMMV in a non-YMMV trope. Not a characterization trope either.]]'''
* SamusIsAGirl: According to the concept art, the Baby is, technically, a girl. '''[[red:Misuse. Not an ActionGirl who is mistaken as male.]]'''
* ShoutOut: A giant baby-like creature that crawls at you, will kill you in one hit if caught, and is encountered only in a single area underneath the ground floor? [[VideoGame/ClockTower Dan Barrows, is that you?]] '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilVillage''.]]'''
* SurrealHorror: This ''thing'' is by far the weirdest enemy faced in the game, and sticks out like a sore thumb among the other GothicHorror creatures you face. It feels more suited to a game like ''Silent Hill'' or ''Clock Tower''. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilVillage''.]]'''
* SwallowedWhole: Like an actual baby, it also likes to shove whatever it can get its hands on down its gullet, in this case, Ethan, should he be caught. And you get to witness it swallowing you alive in first person. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, already on ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilVillage'' page.]]'''
* YourMindMakesItReal: If this thing ''is'' just a hallucination, Ethan's death at the maw of the Baby could actually be a fear-induced heart attack. '''[[red:WMG in a trope.]]'''

!!Soldat Folder
* AttackItsWeakPoint: Ethan must shoot the Soldat in the red reactor exhausts they have on their bodies. Most will have it where the heart is but hide it with their drills, which forces Ethan to have good timing or stun them via explosives or other hazards. A couple have the exhaust at the back, which makes it even harder to shoot. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilVillage''.]]'''
* DashAttack: The Soldat Jet has a jetpack at the back that they can use to propel themselves forward and try to impale Ethan at high speed with their drills. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilVillage''.]]'''
* GoForTheEye: Shooting out the face coverings on the Soldat Eins and Zwei makes dealing with them significantly easier, as it causes them to lower their guard as they move much more erratically. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilVillage''.]]'''
* LaserSight: The Soldat Jet's lethal DashAttack is announced via them targeting Ethan with a laser sight as they brace to slide towards him. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilVillage''.]]'''
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: As entering Heisenberg's factory is a point of no return before the final heavily scripted segments of ''Village'', the Haulers fill in for TheGoomba Moroaicǎ, having absolutely nothing to distinguish themselves apart from gender and their headpieces giving them greater resistance to headshots. '''[[red: Misuse. Trope is about main characters being replaced by similar lookalikes within the same media.]]'''
* AttackAttackAttack: It only exists to ram at undesirable shit with its blades, having zero intellectual capacity for tactics or anything else really. '''[[red:Replace "ram at undesirable shit" with "attack anything in its sight"]]'''
* ShoutOut: Sturm, whose entire upper body has been replaced with an airplane engine, is extremely similar to the "propellerhead" monster from ''Film/FrankensteinsArmy'', complete with a bullet-deflecting propeller.

** See that big glowing red tumor-thing in the hollow between a Glava-Smech J'avo's mandibles? ''Shoot it!''
** Napads have a huge chink in their armor under their shoulders; hitting them here, or making a new weakspot by blowing off their armor with a grenade, is the only way to efficiently hurt them.
** Shooting a Ruka-Bedem J'avo anywhere that's not being covered by its shield-arm is a waste of time and ammo.
* KillerGorilla: Napads look something like skinned, armor-plated gorillas. '''[[red: Misuse. Trope is about actual killer gorillas.]]'''

* AttackItsWeakPoint: '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil2''.]]'''
** In ''Umbrella Chronicles'' and ''The Darkside Chronicles'', they're the only enemy in the game other than zombies that can be killed instantly with a single shot to a precise point - the exact center of the leaves that make up their mouths, which is only revealed when they open their mouths.
** In the 2019 remake, Ivies possess pulsing yellow pods on their bodies and are paralyzed if these are specifically targeted. There's an unlockable acquired by downing one in such a manner.

* KillItWithFire: Ivies are particularly weak to fire attacks, so Leon's flamethrower and Claire's [[DepletedPhlebotinumShells fire grenades]] are the best weapons to use against them. In the 2019 game, this is the only way to actually kill them for good. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil2''.]]'''

* OneHitKill: The Ivy Zombies are only capable of a OneHitKill if they're not repelled with a defensive item. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil2''.]]'''

* AttackItsWeakPoint: The 2019 G-Spawn is more vulnerable to shots in its shoulder-mounted eye. Some G-Spawn have a hardened mass covering their eye that needs to be shot off before it can be targeted. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil2''.]]'''
* TakingYouWithMe: They can do this in the 2019 remake. After a G-Spawn is killed, it will rear up and collapse on whatever happens to be in front of it. Should that happen to be the player, they will take some considerable damage, possibly even lethal if they're hurt to begin with or on Hardcore. Unless they dodge, however, which should be rather easy unless there are other enemies around. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil2''.]]'''

* YourHeadASplode: In the original ''2'', you can save a ton of ammo by tricking the alligator into eating a gas can, then shooting it. In the remake, this is the only way to beat it. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil2''.]]'''

* AdaptedOut: Doesn't appear in the 2019 remake of ''2''. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil2''.]]'''

* JumpScare: One of the furnaces in the morgue in the remake of ''2'' only contains these bugs, and it's where they're first seen. Leon/Claire's audible disgust and surprise indicate they'll attack...but they don't, and ''never'' do when passed by later. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil2''.]]'''

* AdaptedOut: As a result of the Gravedigger itself being omitted, they don't appear in the 2020 remake. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil3Nemesis''.]]'''

* AdaptedOut: Not present in the 2020 remake, something that was...very contentious with fans. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil3Nemesis''.]]'''

* AttackItsWeakPoint: All Uroboros monsters have one or many orange bulbs somewhere on their being that is implied to be their brain and only sensory organs. Destroying it/them will almost always immediately put an end to an Uroboros creature.

* SwallowedWhole: It's large enough that it can devour a man in a single swallow, hence its name. It kills Rodrigo by devouring him in this way.

* {{Expy}}: Similar to Regeneradors, but this time they're cockroaches and can also now instantly kill you.

* CutscenePowerToTheMax: When the story dictates it, they're seen effortlessly killing swathes of civilians and soldiers just by swarming over them. In-game, though, well see below.
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: In cutscenes, Marcus leeches are capable of overwhelming and killing people in seconds if they swarm them. In-game, the player has to deliberately let them kill them because [[JokeCharacter they do 1 point of damage per bite]]. Averted with the ''Outbreak'' leeches, as within the context of that game, they do decent damage if they latch on you.

* DefeatEqualsExplosion: They blow up when they're killed, dealing heavy damage to the player if they're caught up in it.
* HollywoodAcid: It constantly drips and spews acidic bile in everything it does.
* KillItWithFire: For how powerful these things are, they are unbelievably vulnerable to fire. Molotov Cocktails and the Grenade Launcher's Flame Rounds are the best way to deal with them.
* TheWormThatWalks: Obviously.

* BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: They're the product of Marcus experimenting on the t-Virus on apes. When that didn't turn out well, he locked them away in squalor until he felt like he wanted to use them further in dangerous experiments. He treated them so badly that the ones the heroes encountered were said to be severely weakened from malnourishment.
* EverythingIsBetterWithMonkeys: Given they're zombie apes that have gone mad from aggression, horribly averted.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: They're basically ''0'''s equivalent of Hunters. Although some Hunters are encountered in the game itself, the Eliminators are the far more recurring EliteMook.

* OneHitKill: If they're not shot at right away, they'll grab Rebecca or Billy with their tongue for an inescapable death if they don't have each other nearby. Unfortunately for the player, some of their scripted encounters have this as the case.
* SwallowedWhole: Their OneHitKill.

* BewareMyStingerTail: Befitting its name, this is its main form of offense.
* BlownAcrossTheRoom: If the player tries to inappropriately attack it upclose, it will respond with this. It will also do this upon death if the player is close.
* CycleOfHurting: If the player only attacks it when it raises its claws to strike, it will always stagger back and resume the same attack pattern. It's considered one of, if not the easiest, bosses in the series for this reason.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Its fatality on low player HP is to hoist them in place with its pincers and do this with its stinger.
* ScaryScorpions: Up to eleven.

* BigCreepyCrawlies: Centipedes are scary enough as small bugs. Now imagine one half the size of a {{Kaiju}}.
* CreepyCentipedes: Boy howdy.

* InterfaceScrew: Unintentionally. This monster is infamous for exploiting ''0's'' aiming system with its little bats that will cause the player character' aiming to go all over the place.

* BigBad: Of ''0''.
* EvilIsNotWellLit: Spends all its time in the darkness of the Training Facility, specifically its basements. This is due to the fact it will die to sunlight.
* GoneHorriblyRight: It wanted to see the world burn after taking care of Umbrella. While it didn't account for dying, its actions ensured both its goals were fulfilled.
* OneWingedAngel: Two phases of this.
* VomitIndiscretionShot: Infamously, it violently pukes up a storm of leeches when undergoing its transformation for the final battle.

* AwesomeButImpractical: The Arklay team saw it as this, but Sergei begged to differ as he produced them in the Caucasus Laboratory in 2003. Years later, it even found its way into the black market as a common tool of terror on civilian populaces.
* FacialHorror: While most creatures in the series can fall under this, the remake version of the Chimera takes the grand prize, as well as having human/insect hybrid features such as mandibles and fly-like hair, the thing looks as though it is constantly screaming in agony due to having a human upper jaw with no corresponding lower jaw; which, considering it is a hybrid of two species that should not exist together in one body, it probably is.
* OffWithHisHead: They have a move where they hoist the player character up and decapitate them if not shaken off. Non-canonically, this is what they inflicted on Wesker in one of the original game's scenarios.

* ElectrifiedBathtub: While the Neptunes become harmless once you drain the lab they inhabit, you can finish off the mother by throwing a fuse box into the puddle beneath her and throwing a switch. This totally fries the box, meaning you won't have to worry about getting shocked when you climb back down.
* OneHitKill: Surprising no one, in all their appearances they have an attack to devour the player whole in one go.

* OptionalBoss: In the remake, scaring it off in the first encounter isn't necessary, as the player can just run out of the room after taking the Death Mask. [[DirtyCoward Note that doing this while Richard is helping you]] fight it will result in it immediately killing him [[VideoGameCrueltyPunishment and taking his otherwise obtainable assault shotgun from you]].
* SwallowedWhole: Yawn has a OneHitKill where it grabs the player character and devours them.

* HollywoodAcid: It's capable of spewing copious amounts of acid.
* KillItWithFire: Fire grenades are the best weapon against Plant 42.

* AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: Unlockable concept art for ''Outbreak'' explored the possibility of mutant wasps bigger than humans as enemies. It didn't make the cut for probably being too disturbing, but the ones seen in-game are roughly the size of your player character.
* ArtisticLicenseGeography: These wasps are clearly [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asian_giant_hornet Japanese giant hornets]], which aren't wasps, to begin with, but wouldn't be found as natives anywhere near the American Midwest. Concept art for ''Outbreak'' indicated the developers tried to rectify this by retconning them into yellow jacket wasps, but this didn't pass.

* AllThereInTheManual: The Biohazard 2 Official Guide Book contains a lot of information on Plant 43's biology, including that they use hydraulic systems to move (which is why they're so slow), they feed on ambient moisture, and they're hermaphroditic, with the flower-bud "arm" containing the pistil.
* AttackItsWeakPoint:

* DarkerAndEdgier: One of the stated reasons the Ivy Zombies replaced the original Ivies in the 2019 remake of ''2'' is the latter were often cited as the least popular and scariest monsters in the franchise. Lo and behold, instead of being rather silly-looking plant things with legs, they're now reimagined as a zombie-plant hybrid with BodyHorror, NightmareFace, and nigh-invulnerability to emphasize them as a genuine threat compared to the lumbering Ivies of the original game.
* FireKeepsItDead: In the remake, unless an Ivy’s been burned, it will eventually regenerate and resume its attack.
* KillItWithFire: Ivies are particularly weak to fire attacks, so Leon's flamethrower and Claire's [[DepletedPhlebotinumShells fire grenades]] are the best weapons to use against them. In the 2019 game, this is the only way to actually kill them for good.
* MythologyGag: The 2019 version of the Ivy is basically an adaptation of a little-known enemy called the "Green Zombie", a zombie infested by mutated plants, which only appeared in a single mission in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilOutbreak''. Plant 43 itself also pays significant homage to Plant 42 from the original ''Resident Evil'' ''and'' the "Huge Plant" also from ''Outbreak'', a botanical abomination that controlled the Green Zombies.
* OneHitKill: The Ivy Zombies are only capable of a OneHitKill if they're not repelled with a defensive item.

* AttackItsWeakPoint: The 2019 G-Spawn is more vulnerable to shots in its shoulder-mounted eye. Some G-Spawn have a hardened mass covering their eye that needs to be shot off before it can be targeted.
* TakingYouWithMe: They can do this in the 2019 remake. After a G-Spawn is killed, it will rear up and collapse on whatever happens to be in front of it. Should that happen to be the player, they will take some considerable damage, possibly even lethal if they're hurt to begin with or on Hardcore. Unless they dodge, however, which should be rather easy unless there are other enemies around.

* OneHitKill: Of course, if the Alligators ever catch up to the player character, they're done for.
* YouDontLookLikeYou: It's even bigger in the remake, and it's proportionally stockier, with a thicker body and shorter snout. Additionally, it is covered in moss and plant matter.
* YourHeadASplode: In the original ''2'', you can save a ton of ammo by tricking the alligator into eating a gas can, then shooting it. In the remake, this is the only way to beat it.

* AdaptedOut: Doesn't appear in the 2019 remake of ''2''.
* AllWebbedUp: A negative condition met in the "Below Freezing Point" scenario of ''Outbreak'' will see the beast kidnap the player character and web them up. The player can break free but will be poisoned.
* KillItWithFire: Fire will burn off its wings and render it a flailing mess that's easy to finish off.

* JumpScare: One of the furnaces in the morgue in the remake of ''2'' only contains these bugs, and it's where they're first seen. Leon/Claire's audible disgust and surprise indicate they'll attack...but they don't, and ''never'' do when passed by later.
* OneHitKill: In the original game, if they're allowed to swarm up on the player without being shaken off, [[CruelAndUnusualDeath they'll eat you alive]].

* AllThereInTheManual: The Capcom-released {{sourcebook}} "Biohazard 3 Last Escape Official Guidebook" states that Drain Deimos and Brain Suckers are both irregular mutations, having spontaneously developed from fleas that fed on T-virus infected hosts. Drain Deimos specifically fed on zombies, whilst Brain Suckers fed on "something else", which is why they look so different.
* ContinuitySnarl: It's never made clear whether Drain Deimos and Brain Suckers are B.O.Ws like the Chimera they resemble, or if they are spontaneous mutants; sources have contradicted each other on the topic.
* InterfaceScrew: When implanted with Drain Deimos parasites in the remake, Jill suffers from a vision-blurring "throbbing veins" effect on the screen, as well as moving more slowly than normal.
* UndergroundMonkey: Not only is the Brain Sucker a recolored, two-headed, slightly tougher version of the Drain Deimos with a poisonous bite, but both creatures are based on the Chimera from ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil1'', which has fueled the debate on whether or not they're B.O.W.s.
** In the remake, the Brain Sucker was removed and the reworked Drain Deimos gained a new status effect to take over its role.
* YouDontLookLikeYou: Downplayed; Drain Deimos in the remake still look largely the same as their past incarnations, but are green in color and smaller in size, having gone from towering over Jill to being just barely her height when they rear up on their hind legs.

* AdaptedOut: As a result of the Gravedigger itself being omitted, they don't appear in the 2020 remake.

* AdaptedOut: Not present in the 2020 remake, something that was...very contentious with fans.

* AttackItsWeakPoint: Unsurprisingly, the massive glowing tumor visible on the Shriekers are their weak points.
* DeadlyLunge: A signature move of the average zombie and Bloodshot is to suddenly leap at the player.
* FinishingStomp: The Whopper will pull this off on a player in a dying state in ''6'' if given the chance.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Bloodshots are essentially C-Virus counterparts to the Crimson Heads. Just like them, Bloodshots are the result of C-Zombies taking excessive damage and undergoing a V-ACT mutation. They distinguish themselves from their brethren by being deemed worthwhile B.O.W.S. [[VideoGame/UmbrellaCorps and were manufactured]] after 2013.

* AttackItsWeakPoint:

* KillerGorilla: Napads look something like skinned, armor-plated gorillas.

* MultiBoobage: Lepotica is covered in grotesquely breast-like gas sacks.
* OneHitKill:

* SissyVillain: Lepotica may, arguably, be female, but its effeminate giggling and squealing still convey this feel.

* EyeScream: Over the course of the battle with Brzak, Leon and Helena will gouge out its eyes.

* AttackItsWeakPoint: Killing Ogromen requires grabbing the mechanical pieces hanging of out its back to expose its beating heart, so you can then shoot it.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: In Jake's campaign, you can finish off the Ogroman by pulling a spike/rib out of his back and plunging it into his exposed heart.

* EyeScream: It's unclear if the Iluzija eyes melted or were just grown over. Still, that's not natural.
* HighVoltageDeath: How Iluzija finally meets its end, as bullets alone proved inefficient.
* MythologyGag: You have to roam through Iluzija's lair, avoiding deadly ambushes, and kill it by shooting it in its open mouth. Very much like the fights against Yawn in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilTheUmbrellaChronicles''.

* AbnormalAmmo: Tricorne Oozes shoot bone projectiles from an organic crossbow made from their left arms.

* OneHitKill: Scagdeads has a one-hit-kill attack where it grabs the player and uses its bio-chainsaw to saw them to death.

* OneHitKill: Those encountered in underwater areas can kill the player if they're not shaken off in time.
* SmurfettePrinciple: Sea Creepers are all the end result of t-Abyss infection on human females with the sole exception of Rachael, who mutates into something else entirely.

* KnightlySwordAndShield: Scarmigliones' arms end in growths that resemble swords and shields, and they attack with them like they were the real deal.
* ShieldBash: Scarmiglione will often use their shields to club Jill.
* ShockAndAwe: Damaging Scarmiglione's upper body too much could end up revealing an electrified tentacle that whips around to damage the player.

!The Parasites

Plaga (Las Plagas) are behavior-altering macroparasitic organisms that infest other life forms and compel them to form hive-like social structures, existing only to spread and to defend the group, though they leave behind some human intelligence, unlike the t-Virus zombies. First unearthed centuries ago in a remote part of Europe, implicitly somewhere near Spain, they became the centerpiece of a mad cult, Los Illuminados, before being sealed away by the Castellan of the region. Generations later, Ramon Salazar, eighth of his line, unearthed them from the depths of his castle and revived the cult with megalomaniacal designs on taking over the world.

Although Los Illuminados was thwarted by Leon S. Kennedy, samples of the Plaga were recovered and joined the t-Virus and its derivatives on the bioterror black market. TRICELL would later develop [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil5 and deploy genetically upgraded Type 2 and Type 3 Plagas in the African country of Kijuju]]. Derivatives of the Type 2 Plaga would also be used as bio-weapons in the [[Anime/ResidentEvilDamnation Eastern Slav Civil War incident]].

Meta-wise, Plaga-based enemies and their derivatives defined the second generation of mainline Resident Evil games that started with ''4''. In terms of media presence, they would supersede zombies and other t-Virus mutants for years up until the release of ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil6''. Even then, despite no longer making such frequent appearances, their design laid the foundation for intelligent enemy AI since. As a result of their scope, influence, and many appearances, Plaga are the second largest and most recurring species of enemies not part of the core assembly introduced in the first game.

!Chainsaw Man

[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin As the name implies]], the Chainsaw Man is a chainsaw-wielding Ganado wearing a distinct potato sack over his head. Introduced in ''4'' and dubbed "Dr. Salvador" via localization, the Chainsaw Man gained notoriety for introducing an unprecedented level of graphic violence in gaming at the time with his OneHitKill being a fully animated decapitation. In the same game, he has a DualBoss counterpart, the Chainsaw Sisters - dubbed Bella Sisters, and a non-canonical "Super Salvador" counterpart in the Mercenaries game mode.
\\\
The Chainsaw Man is considered one of the most iconic post-second generation Resident Evil enemies. In-series and out, he has inspired countless expies of a power saw brandishing enemy in his likeliness.

!Regenerador

As noted by Luis Sera: whereas the likes of the El Gigante and Novistador are failed byproducts of Plaga-based experimentation, the Regenerador and its derivative successor - Iron Maiden - are considered the Los Illuminado's first step into entering the B.O.W trade successfully...sort of. As we observe from the state of Saddler's labs, they are uncontrollable and went on killing sprees against the cult that produced them. Hasty measures were made to (unsuccessfully) seal them away.

As the name implies, these monsters are renowned for their regenerative capabilities, being nigh-invincible unless their Plaga cores are completely destroyed.

!!The Parasites Folder
* AttackItsWeakPoint: '''[[red:Not a characterization trope. Move to [=RE4/RE5=] pages.]]'''
** Exposed Plaga are generally the only way to quickly take down their hosts. Garradors cannot be killed any other way, due to being covered in thick armor.
** Duvalias can only be harmed by attacking the "tail" made from their host body's shredded upper torso that they drag behind them.
* FromBadToWorse: The Type 2 Plaga was literally designed to be this compared to its ancestor. It spreads much more quickly, can take control of a host in seconds, and is resistant to sunlight. '''[[red:Misuse. This trope is about situations, not characters.]]'''
* NoWomansLand: Zigzagged; there are female hosts, but these generally only appear in the first region and are far rarer than males, being replaced entirely by male hosts in later areas. Somewhat justified; there were plans for female Zealot Ganados, but these were scrapped, and the "Mercenary Ganados" are, well, based on mercenaries, so they wouldn't be likely to have any female members. Meanwhile, the Type 3 Plaga from the Kijuju incident are genetically incompatible with female and child hosts, killing them if they try to infect them. '''[[red:Misuse. Trope is about places where women are seen as inferior citizens.]]'''
* OneHitKill: The centipede-like "Type 1-B" Plaga in ''4'', and the Duvalia in ''5'' can all kill you with a single strike. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to [=RE4/RE5=] pages.]]'''

* BigBeautifulMan: Averted in that the Big Man Majini [[{{Gonk}} is ugly as sin.]] '''[[red:Delete as a not-notable aversion.]]'''
* DarkActionGirl: Pretty much any woman infected with the Plagas will arm herself with a weapon and do their damnedest to kill anyone not infected with the Plagas they see. '''[[red:Misuse.]]'''
* DeadWeight The aptly named "Big Man Majini", a hulking and stout-bodied Type 2 Plaga host with SuperToughness and super strength, sits somewhere between this and FatBastard. '''[[red:Misuse. Not fat enough to qualify for DeadWeight and does not fit any qualifications for FatBastard.]]'''
* EliteMooks: '''[[red:Delete first bullet, comment out third and fourth.]]'''
** Refer to the Chainsaw Man and Garradors in their respective folders for more on them.
** The cultists adorned in red garbs lead the black-robed mooks. They wear bullet-proof helmets and are smarter and tougher than villagers. As are the Militia Ganado and Base Majini.
** The Big Man Majini, a larger-than-average mook with super strength and super toughness.
** The Executioner Majini, a colossal Majini armed with a huge axe.
** J.J and his nameless Majini counterpart, "Gatling Gun Majini," are towering enemies armed with [[MoreDakka gatling guns]].
* MeaningfulName: As aforementioned in the description. '''[[red:comment-out as ZCE.]]'''
* MoreDakka: The Base Majini all wield AK-74s, having enough of their old minds to shoot and reload their guns, but not really enough to aim very well. Taken up to eleven with the Gatling Gun Majini (and their spiritual predecessor, J.J the unique Gando), who all wield [[GatlingGood massive gatling guns]]. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope, move to RE5 page.]]'''
* RockBeatsLaser: A vast majority of them (except for the Base Majini) are restricted to using primitive or improvised melee weapons, and when they are using a ranged weapon, it's usually a crossbow (or a longbow in the case of the wetlands Majini). This has no hindrance on how dangerous they can be especially considering their numbers, the ability to survive a gunshot that would normally incapacitate a normal human and the chance for them to mutate. '''[[red:Misuse.]]'''
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Several of the Majini in ''5'' are clearly based on, and fulfill the same roles as some of the Ganados in ''4'': '''[[red: All misuse. Trope is about main characters being replaced by similar lookalikes within the same media.]]'''
** Chainsaw Majini is literally Dr. Salvador, only a little DarkerAndEdgier in appearance.
** The Town, Wetlands, and Base Majini are roughly equivalent to the Pueblo, Zealot, and Mercenary Ganados.
** Most blatantly is the Gatling Majini, which is more or less just the reused model of J.J. from ''4''.

!!Chainsaw Man Folder
* TheBerserker: When a Chainsaw Majini goes down for the first time, it will get up a minute later and start to wildly swing their chainsaw around them. Unlike before it will not kill a player instantly, but will simply put them in a position where a partner is required to help them up. '''[[red:Misuse. Does not follow the character type the trope is about.]]'''
* {{Bowdlerise}}: Japanese iterations of ''4'' omit the decapitation. In ''5'', the camera doesn't show the player getting decapitated altogether. '''[[red:Move portion to RE5, example already on RE4.]]'''
* BreakoutCharacter: As aforementioned, the original Chainsaw Man is considered one of the most iconic enemies in the franchise, to the point that most games after RE4 have their own chainsaw (or any kind of power tool) wielding enemy (Chainsaw Majini, Scagdead, Ubistvo, Mutated Pedro, Jack Baker, Mia Winters, and Soldat). Outside the series, the Chainsaw Man was a direct inspiration for the now-famous chainsaw bayonet-equipped Lancer Assault Rifle in the wildly successful ''VideoGame/GearsOfWar'' series. '''[[red:Delete "As aforementioned", list of chainsaw enemies, and "Outside the series...".]]'''
* ChainsawGood: And they put them to good use. '''[[red:Comment-out as ZCE.]]'''
* DarkActionGirl: The Chainsaw Sisters are insane and will try to slice Leon’s head off with their chainsaws. '''[[red:Misuse.]]'''
* DarkerAndEdgier: While never fluff and puff, Salvador looked relatively mundane, the Chainsaw Majini by contrast looks like an emaciated zombie that's been a victim of torture himself. He wears a creepier sack that appears to be tightened over his head with only one eyehole revealing a [[RedEyesTakeWarning crimson eye]], and he brandishes a chainsaw laced with teeth. '''[[red:Misuse. This trope is about a ToneShift in a light-toned work, not characters.]]'''
* FatBastard: Close inspection of the Dr. Salvador variant clearly shows he has a beer belly. '''[[red:Misuse. Doesn't gain weight, not fat enough, and never portrayed sympathetically.]]'''
* FromBadToWorse: The non-canonical Mercenaries only "Super Salvador" enemy is a 7 feet tall, LightningBruiser expy of Salvador brandishing a double-bladed chainsaw on fire. '''[[red:Misuse. This trope is about situations, not characters.]]'''
* OffWithHisHead: Salvadors and the Bella sisters only aim for the neck. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope. Delete, example already on RE4 page.]]'''
* OneHitKill: Their only move is to decapitate them... Unless you are at a distance. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope. Delete, example already on RE4 page.]]'''

!!Garrador Folder
* DeadlyLunge: Once they pinpoint the source of noise they'll charge with their claws ready to impale. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope. Move to RE4 page.]]'''
* HomefieldAdvantage: One is fought inside a metal cage, where Leon doesn't have much space to move around, while later two of them are fought inside a dark room, which doesn't inconvenience them. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope. Move to RE4.]]'''
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: They can kill Leon by jamming the first set of claws into his head and another into his chest. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope. Delete, example already on RE4 page.]]'''

!!Novistador Folder
* ShakyPOVCam: We get to see their POV when one sweeps in to kidnap Ashley late in the story. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope. Move to RE4.]]'''
* WasOnceAMan: Yes, these things were once human. '''[[red:Comment out as ZCE.]]'''

!!Armadura Folder
* JumpScare: Inanimate ones within the dungeon Ashley explores for a puzzle will try to slice her in half by dropping their weapons on her. After that, they fall apart '''[[red:Not a characterization trope. Move to RE4 page.]]'''
* RunOrDie: They're first encountered in Ashley's level. Given she has no weapons and they can't be killed with the lanterns like the few cultists roaming the area, the player can only run. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope. Move to RE4 page.]]'''

!!Regenerador Folder
* AttackItsWeakPoint: This is the only way to dispatch Regeneradors, but there's a trick to it: you need an infrared scope to spot the hidden Plagas on its torso... and a steady aim. Alternatively, you can shoot all over its body and hope you get lucky, but this takes up a lot of ammo and by the time you acquire the infrared scope, these abominations have probably already scarred you for life. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope. Delete, example already on RE4 page.]]'''
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Iron Maidens can kill Leon by extending their spikes and fatally stabbing him. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope. Move to RE4 page.]]'''

!!Kipepeo Folder
* AirborneMook: A classic example. '''[[red:Comment out as ZCE.]]'''
* BatOutOfHell: Despite being insects, they have this theme going for them. '''[[red:Misuse. They're not bats.]]'''

!!El Gigante Folder
* AttackItsWeakPoint: The Gigante is nearly indestructible, but causing it significant injury forces the Plaga to expose itself as a reflex reaction to the pain. Destroying the Plaga kills the giant. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope. Move to [=RE4/RE5=] pages.]]'''
* BeardOfEvil: Ndesu does very little to distinguish itself from its predecessor besides having a thick beard. '''[[red:Comment out as ZCE.]]'''
* ColossusClimb: Upon exposing its Plaga, Leon can climb over his body and to his back to slash at it. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope. Move to RE4 page.]]'''
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Early on in the game, Leon can find the barred gate leading to the first El Gigante's cavern. '''[[red:Possible misuse? The gate being there isn't really foreshadowing and there's nothing to indicate anything is behind it or that its not just a piece of scenery...]]'''
* SkippableBoss: The first encounter and the DualBoss fight are inescapable, but the second fight can be avoided by taking the "Bella Sisters" route instead. '''[[red:Misuse. Not skipping a boss battle, more of a "pick your posion" situation.]]'''
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Ndesu is literally El Gigante, only non-recurring. '''[[red:Misuse. Trope is about main characters being replaced by similar lookalikes within the same media.]]'''
* TakingYouWithMe: If you drop one of the two Gigante in the lava, approaching the pool before the lid closes will result in the agonizing behemoth grabbing Leon and dragging him in the lava. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope. Move to RE4 page.]]'''

!!Verdugo Folder
* DevourTheDragon: Rather than fight him directly, the second Verdugo is assimilated by Salazar and the Queen Plaga to go OneWingedAngel. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope. Move to RE4 page.]]'''
* FingerWag: He does this if you shoot at him with a highly-damaging weapon, such as a Magnum or the Rocket Launcher, without using a nitrogen tank to severely weaken him first. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope. Move to RE4 page.]]'''
* FusionDance: The second Verdugo is absorbed by Salazar's Plaga form, with his head and torso becoming the tip of a giant... fleshy protrusion in the middle of the monster. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope. Move to RE4 page.]]'''
* ImpendingDoomPOV: Used when the Verdugo starts hunting Leon in the dungeons. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope. Move to RE4 page and comment out.]]'''

!!U3 Folder
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Aside from a cryptic warning from Saddler, you need to get a [[ClassicalChimera Chimera-based puzzle]] before meeting him. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope. Move to RE5 page and comment out.]]'''

!!Popokarimu Folder
* AttackItsWeakPoint: You can only kill this thing by shooting it in its head (less effective) or by going for the soft, fleshy underbelly of its insect-like abdomen. Bullets will just bounce off of its armored carapace otherwise. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope. Move to RE5 page.]]'''
* BodyHorror: LOOK at this abomination. '''[[red:Comment out as ZCE.]]'''

!!U-8 Folder
* AttackItsWeakPoint: Its mouth. Granted, due to its height and being smart enough to cover its weak spot, the player has to aim for the defects in its legs to incapacitate it so they can feed it explosives. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope. Move to RE5 page.]]'''
* FeedItABomb: How Chris and Sheva kill it. '''[[red:Not a characterization trope. Move to RE5 page and comment out.]]'''

[[folder:Description Changes]]
!The Mold
!!Old Description
The Mold is a genus of fungus originating somewhere around the mountainy terrains of Eastern Europe. While much of their origins are currently shrouded in mystery, what is known is that Mold is produced by an EldritchAbomination known as the Fungal Root (dubbed "Megamycete" via localization), a monstrous alien organism that absorbs and stores the consciousness of other organisms that stumble across it. In 1919, a biologist named Miranda discovered the Fungal Root, linking her consciousness with the super colony. Hoping to revive her deceased daughter Eva after supposedly seeing her conscience in the Fungal Root — dubbed "Black God," Miranda derived the Cadou from the Mold, a parasitic microorganism intended to create a suitable host to implant her conscience into. This project failed with most of the victims becoming monsters known as Lycan.
\\\
In 2000, Miranda formed a mutually beneficial collaboration with The Connections, a crime syndicate formed by ex-Umbrella founder Brandon Bailey. The organization desired to produce B.O.W.s capable of mind control through the Mold's mutagenic properties. Through gene splicing Eve's DNA with the Mold, they created the B.O.W. E-001, naming it Eveline for its human cover. Eveline rampaged during a naval skirmish with the PMC Blue Umbrella in October 2014, inadvertently being set loose upon the world when the Baker family in Louisiana rescued her from the shipwreck. E-001 subsequently mind-controlled the family, producing a second Fungal Root and colony of twisted Molded monsters.
\\\
Mold-derived monsters and mutants serve as the main enemies of ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil7'' and ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilVillage''. The implications of the Fungal Root also carry great repercussions for the future of the series, effectively making Mold-derived creatures the primary enemies of the third-generation of mainline '' Resident Evil'' games.

!E-001
!!Old Description
E-001, properly named "Eveline", is the first Mold-derived B.O.W. and was created to subvert enemies without the need for combat through mind control. Appearing in hallucinations as a small girl, which was her actual physical form in the past, she has rapidly regressed to an elderly state without the aid of the Connections' resources after going rogue.

Under siege from anti-bioterror forces, Eveline was covertly transported on the natural gas tanker Annabelle by her caretakers Mia and Alan. She lost control and destroyed the ship, eventually drifting into the Louisiana bayou in the shipwreck, ultimately being rescued by the Baker family. She repaid their kindness by enslaving them to her will in her perverse idea of having a genuine family, driving the Bakers to madness and creating a super Mold colony within the region.

She serves as the main antagonist of ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil7''.

!The Baby
!!Old Description
An unspeakably horrific monster that Ethan encounters in the basement of Donna Beneviento's house. Due to Donna's hallucinogenic powers, it is deliberately left unanswered if the Baby [[YourMindMakesItReal is entirely a figment of Ethan's escalating insanity]] or a real creature that merely appears the way it does due to his inner fears warping the basement per imagination.

!!New Description
A horrific monster that Ethan encounters in the basement of Donna Beneviento's house.

!Sturm
!!Old Description
An experimental Soldat distinguished by the aircraft engine in place of a torso. Only one is known to exist. ''Intended'' to be the baddest Soldat of them all, it was simply deemed an EpicFail by Heisenberg for its uncontrollable aggression and ''massively'' reduced intelligence, accidentally having lost both its arms to its propellor blades. Nevertheless, he keeps it around, eventually siccing it on Ethan when he refuses his offer of an alliance.

!!New Description
An experimental Soldat distinguished by the aircraft engine in place of a torso. Only one is known to exist. Its uncontrollable aggression and propeller blade arms make it highly dangerous foe.

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Not a single one of these monsters appear in ''Village'', possibly reinforcing the notion the Molded enemies seen in ''7'' are unique products of Eveline. '''[[red:Second opinion needed. Misuse?]]'''

* NotSoImaginaryFriend: The very origin of their existence, as the Molded are more akin to a lonely child's [[ImaginaryFriend imaginary friends]] in terms of function. Fitting, considering the [[TykeBomb true]] [[LonelyDollGirl nature]] of the Mold's HiveQueen. '''[[red:Second opinion needed. Misuse?]]'''

* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: A more sympathetic interpretation of her. While clearly gloating in her evil and throwing sociopathic temper tantrums when she doesn't get her way, Eveline was an ArtificialHuman who was ruthlessly experimented on and turned into a living bioweapon, completely isolated from any kind of normal life except a caretaker who views watching her as just another job. When Ethan is on the verge of defeating her, she breaks down in tears, seemingly unable to understand why everyone wants her dead. '''[[red:Second opinion needed. Seems to be YMMV in disguise.]]'''

!!Current Subject: Characters.ResidentEvilMonstersPart2 aka "Plaga" page\\

Samples of the Plaga were recovered and made their way to the bioterror black market. TRICELL would later develop [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil5 and deploy genetically upgraded Type 2 and Type 3 Plagas in the African country of Kijuju]]. Derivatives of the Type 2 Plaga would also be used as bio-weapons in the [[Anime/ResidentEvilDamnation Eastern Slav Civil War incident]].

[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin As the name implies]], the Chainsaw Man is a chainsaw-wielding Ganado wearing a distinct potato sack over his head. Introduced in ''4'' and dubbed "Dr. Salvador" via localization, the Chainsaw Man gained notoriety for introducing an unprecedented level of graphic violence in gaming at the time with his OneHitKill being a fully animated decapitation. In the same game, he has a DualBoss counterpart, the Chainsaw Sisters - dubbed "Bella Sisters", and a non-canonical "Super Salvador" counterpart in the Mercenaries game mode.
