| The Hunter is one of the first original monster designs in the series. The Hunters are established in the games as a breed of artificially-created half-human/half-reptilian creatures with sharp claws created by the Umbrella Corporation. They are introduced in the original Resident Evil as replacement enemies for the zombies when the player revisits the mansion during the later part of the game.[1]. According to a file in Resident Evil: Survivor, hunters prefer to hunt in packs.
The Hunters are recurring enemies throughout the series and sub-species of Hunter are introduced in later games.
Resident Evil 3 introduces two new type of Hunters: Hunter Beta and Hunter Gamma. Hunter Betas are the successor of the original Alpha model from the first game. They are very distinct from Alpha Hunters as their upper body is covered in red tumor-like bumps. Hunter Gammas are an amphibian-based model nicknamed "Froggers", who are endowed with long tongues capable of swallowing the player.[2]
Resident Evil Code: Veronica introduces the Enhanced Hunters, who are controlled by Wesker; and the Sweepers, which are Enhanced Hunters with venomous claws. Resident Evil: Outbreak introduces the Hunter R, an experimental form of Hunter Alpha. In Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles, the Hunter R is shown to be Umbrella's mass-produced design.
Resident Evil: Dead Aim shows another form of Hunter, the Glimmer, which preferred to hunt in the dark, with only its two bright, shining eyes as evidence of its whereabouts. | |
