Resident Evil/Enemies

Resident Evil contains many creatures, ranging from your sterotypical zombie to a biological killing machine. While some possess almost no threat, others can be a bit troublesome. This page contains detailed information about each enemy, as well as each boss in the game. They're organized in their order of appearence.

Zombie

 * Health: Low
 * Speed: Slow
 * Threat: Low
 * Sounds: Shuffling feet, moaning
 * Apperance: Bald with a green shirt and brown pants, short hair with a lab coat and black pants, or completely nude
 * Attacks: Bite (moderate damage), vomit (low damage)
 * Best Weapon to Use Against: Shotgun or Beretta
 * Description: A zombie refers to any person who has been infected with the T-Virus and turned into a reanimated corpse. Modeled after the classic Romero zombie, these enemies seek human flesh. They're fairly slow, so you can dodge them most of the time. They don't pose much of a threat, and can be easily taken out with a couple of Beretta shots or a single Shotgun blast to head. Some may pretend to be dead on the ground, so watch out (you'll know when they're dead when they begin to bleed).

Crow

 * Health: Low
 * Speed: Moderate
 * Threat: Low
 * Sounds: "Caw" sounds, wings flapping
 * Apperance: Large crows with some of their flesh missing
 * Attacks: Peck (low damage)
 * Best Weapon to Use Against: Avoid completely
 * Description: During the initial viral outbreak in the Arklay Mountains, most of the crows were immediately infected with the T-Virus after eating an infected creature. An infected crow is larger than a regular crow and will immediately attack any living creature that wanders into its territory. It's very weak and can be totally avoided, so don't even bother shooting at one (they can be taken down in one shot by any weapon). It's also very sensitive to noise, so shooting near or running past one will immediately make it agitated.

Cerberus

 * Health: Low
 * Speed: Fast
 * Threat: Low
 * Sounds: Claws scratching on the ground, growls
 * Apperance: Dobermans with most of their flesh missing
 * Attacks: Bite (moderate damage)
 * Best Weapon to Use Against: Shotgun or Beretta
 * Description: A Cerberus was used as a subject by Umbrella to test the effects of the T-Virus. They were given the code number MA-39 and were named Cerberus after the mythological three-headed guardian of Hades. They were seen in the Arklay Research Facility and running loose in the Arklay forest area. They're very fast but weak, and can be taken down in a couple of Beretta shots or a Shotgun blast. After getting shot once, they'll cower and start to charge again. You can use this time to shoot them again from a safe distance.
