Grave Digger
Information
An irregular mutant, and the result of an arthropod living under the ground in Raccoon City becoming infected with a T-virus that seeped into the ground and caused it to undergo huge, sudden mutations. The waste products of the underground Umbrella laboratory has been too much for the facility to handle, and had spread out underneath the ground, causing many areas to become infected. This caused part of the arthropods crawling around underneath the ground to encounter some infected bodies that had been buried near the facility, and they themselves became infected upon ingesting some of their remains. One of the mutations that resulted from that was the Grave Digger.
These creatures primarily inhabit the underground of the Raccoon City graveyard,
feasting on dead flesh and acting extremely hostile to any humans they encounter.
Their worm-like bodies number up to 10 meters in length, and their powerful
jaws, capable of crunching up concrete like it was candy, along with their amazing
digestive systems allow them to swallow an adult human whole. When
hunting prey, they sense their distance from underneath
the ground and then come rushing up to the
surface to take them in a surprise attack.
Currently, two separate types of Grave
Diggers have been confirmed to exist.
The first is an adult that has recently
shed its skin, and is colored white.
The second is a fully grown adult and
is colored dark brown. This kind is
reported to have a high tolerance for
damage.
