Umbrella B.O.W Files: Zombie Dog

Classification
Accidental B.O.W.: "Zombie Dog"
Base Organism: Doberman Pinscher
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Mammalia
Order: Carnivora
Family: Canidae
Genus: Canis
Species: C. lupus
Subspecies: C. familiaris

TraitLength: 60 - 70 cm (approx)

The secondary infected variation of the "Cerberus", dogs which have been infected with the t-virus. Despite not being developed as B.O.W.s, they possess roughly the same features and combat abilities.

History

On May 14, the first actual "Zombie Dogs" escaped their confinement at the Arklay Laboratory into the Arklay Mountains. These dogs were not test subjects for the t-virus, but became infected after eating contaminated food. Like the Cerberus, they were originally military-trained dogs, so they possessed naturally high combat abilities and were indistinguishable from their B.O.W. counterparts. 

Raccoon City Incident (Sep., 1998)

During the Raccoon City incident, countless dogs became infected with the t-virus and began to run amok in the city. Most of them were pets, but among them were the Raccoon City Police Department's highly trained Doberman police dogs, which became infected after eating contaminated food, breaking free from their kennels on September 29. Unlike the Cerberus, these dogs have not received military training and are therefore not as strong as their B.O.W. counterpart. However, they had undergone police training to be more effective in apprehending criminals, still making their attack power and combat ability following infection is still considerably high while retaining the ability to corner a target gained through their training. 

Sheena Island Incident (Nov., 1998)

Similar to the outbreak in Raccoon City, the t-virus leak on Sheena Island in November 1998 caused the island's countless number of Doberman pinscher sentry and guard dogs to become infected, running wild among the city and killing many citizens. Like the dogs in Raccoon City, these subjects did not receive military or police training and are therefore weaker than their B.O.W. and Raccoon City counterparts. 

Rockfort Island Incident (Dec., 1998)

During the attack on Rockfort Island on December 27, 1998, the island's guard dogs which had been bred and trained to become either police or military canines and placed to defend the prison detention center and Ashford palace were all infected with the t-virus after feasting on contaminated corpses and drinking contaminated rain water. Unlike other Zombie Dog cases, these dogs only show skin decay whilst muscle degradation is virtually non-existent. This is due to the physical strength they acquired in their lives as military dogs, making them the strongest type of Zombie Dog with little difference to the Cerberus B.O.W.

Attributes

The attributes, capabilities and features of the Zombie Dog are all identical to their B.O.W. counterpart; "Cerberus". However, Cerberus B.O.W.s are generally stronger than Zombie Dogs, as Cerberus are only developed on dogs which have received first-class military training.

Umbrella B.O.W Files: V-ACT "Crimson Head"

Classification

Bio-Organic Weapon Model: Crimson Head
Original Organism: Human
Purpose: Evolutionary

When a zombie infected with a certain strain of the t-Virus has been incapacitated for some time, a process occurs in which the t-Virus will begin to run rampant throughout its systems, initiating a system known as V-ACT, more commonly known as a Crimson Head due to the color of its skin when in this state.

Biology

When V-ACT occurs, the heart begins pumping at an alarming rate, causing noticeable blood seepage in the skin and giving it a crimson shade of red. The subject's fingers and toes develop sharp claws and an increased muscle mass and movement speed. The subject's level of aggression also increases greatly from that of the typical zombie. When zombies become Crimson Heads, virtually nothing will stop it from pursuing its prey, making these creatures extremely dangerous. 

The First Crimson Head: Crimson Head Prototype 1

According to Umbrella Research notes via V-ACT file, the first Crimson Head via Crimson Head Prototype 1 that was produced, was a prototype B.O.W. in a dormant state that was reconstructed by the t-Virus. When it finally became active, it killed many researchers during its observation. Umbrella Researchers were forced to have the creature put into a dormant state again (since disposing of this specimen was not an option), isolating and concealing it in the backyard cemetery of the Spencer Mansion.

Attack Patterns

A Crimson Head will "play dead" sometimes (much like their zombie predecessors) until their prey walks near it. It will then lunge quickly to stand. A Crimson Head attacks with force, running after its prey. It runs in a posture comparable to the Hunter α, though obviously unrelated - the posture is likely due to decomposition. It has been known to even kill fellow zombies and other creatures that get in the way between it and its prey. When it gets the chance, it will swipe with its large claws, causing heavy damage. It will sometimes even bite, causing minor injury. Crimson Heads can also withstand more damage from some
firearms than a normal zombie.

In Raccoon City
The V-ACT were seen during the Raccoon City Incident. Evidence supported in File: Operation Raccoon City.


V-ACT "Crimson Head" Notes

A zombie that has undergone a sudden mutation, bringing with it a ferociousness surpassing that of a standard zombie. The mutation process requires that the zombie first be incapacitated.

 At this time, the creature's body tissue is reconstructed at the cellular level resulting in renewed activity as well as the tell-tale reddish color that gives the Crimson Head its name. It possesses long, sharp claws and relentlessly pursues victims with a speed unseen in other zombies.

Umbrella B.O.W Files: Leech Zombie

Classification

Accidental B.O.W: "Leech Zombie"
Base Organism: Human / Leeches

The Leech Zombie or "Leech Man" was a B.O.W. that appeared in Raccoon City during the biohazard caused by the t-virus in September 1998. It is a human corpse controlled by a mass of leeches.

History

The creature appeared in Raccoon General Hospital, where a member of staff was taken over by a mass of leeches which then began to control his body. The leeches then passed onto a different host, a doctor named Hursh.(It is unknown how many Leech Zombies there had ever been, though there had been at least two. At the time that a small group of survivors entered the Hospital to obtain medicine and healing items, at least one existed.)

Eventually, the leeches were killed after being lured into a high-temperature room.

Attributes

The Leech Zombie was extremely nimble, and was able to crawl through the hospital's ventilation system allowing it to appear in almost any section in order to reach prey. After catching prey it would begin to suck their blood. It had only minor intelligence and would ignore prey in favor of more readily available sources of blood. Though it was essentially just a cadaver with leeches, the Leech zombie was significantly stronger as any normal zombie. Leech zombies should not be confused with the Mimicry Marcus, which are individual masses of leeches who assume a humanoid shape.

Umbrella B.O.W Files: Botanic Zombie

Classification
Secondary Infection Bio-Organic Weapon: "Botanic Zombie"
Base Organism: Human & Plant

The "Botanic Zombie" or sometimes called the "Green Zombie was a mistaken made B.O.W that seen during the Raccoon City Incident. It was the result of an ordinary zombie that had been consumed by T-virus infected plantae. The development of both creatures is somewhat unique, with the plant using the zombie as a means to propagate itself. A symbiotic relationship exists between the plant and the host body, with the body utilizing the plants' poison as an effective weapon.
