Hunter
Information
This battle-type BOW boasts sharp claws and scale-like skin covering its entire body. The Hunter was born from a fertilized human egg that was infused with reptilian DNA through the T-Virus. The resulting creature is a frightening cross between a reptile and a human.
The Hunter was created to contend with opposing forces boasting antivirus equipment and defenses. It fulfills the requirements for a highly damaging weapon with its considerable intelligence. It will attack detected prey with astonishing agility and jumping power. It can be relied on to corner and incapacitate targets. It stalks prey as any hunter would, thus its name.
In addition to its physical prowess, the Hunter has proven intelligent enough to carry out simple commands. Following these findings, the Hunter was determined to be a viable weapon in terms of cost and effectiveness. Umbrella began mass-production under the code number MA-121. With the Alpha type as the base, several variations were consequently produced.
The Hunter Beta, produced after the Alpha, was designed to become the primary product in the next line of low-cost Hunter production. Its attack power is less than that of the Alpha model, but it possesses an improved nervous system that enables it to evade bullets.
The Frogger, or Hunter Gamma, is a subspecies developed at Umbrella’s European research facility, using the Alpha and Beta models as a base. Human genes were combined with a fertilized amphibian egg through a cultivation process. Sharp intelligence replaced the Hunter’s eyes and claws in this rotund creature. However, since its amphibious traits are remarkably dominant over the human ones, it cannot operate outside of an aquatic environment. This creature will not undergo mass-production.
In response to Umbrella creating all of these new and improved models, a rival organization has created the Hunter II, which appears on Rockfort Island. This rival corporation used the original data taken by Albert Wesker to improve control over the weapon. A direction system called an Automated Surveillance Device sends the Hunter II to attack only specified targets. This improves its functionality as a soldier. This, in addition to the poisonous Sweeper subspecies, suggests the rival corporation’s research is quite advanced.
Hunter Alpha (MA-121)
This Hunter was the base for all subsequent types. The battle data obtained through the encounter with STARS has been influential in improving this model.
Hunter Beta
The beta type is the prototype Hunter released into Raccoon City for a battle test before mass-production. Its grotesque appearance, resulting from genetic manipulation, is its distinguishing feature.
Hunter II (REVISED)
The Hunter II is sent in to attack targets once they have been isolated by automated surveillance systems. Its subspecies, the Sweeper, is distinguished by its purple-red body and poisonous claws.
Hunter Gamma
The Hunter Gamma has less attack power and intelligence than the Beta type, and due to its physical characteristics, it’s limited to aquatic environments. Its weaknesses are direct sunlight and exposure to dry air. It’s generally unsuitable for distribution.
