Regenerators

First appearance: Resident Evil 4

Information

Regenerators are experimental monsters encountered on the Island created using Las Plagas that are capable of instantly re-growing dismembered body parts. A Regenerator's arms and head can be blown clean off, and the monster grows a new limb immediately. Even a large gaping hole blown through the monster's torso closes up in a few seconds. The regenerative power of the monster comes from several Plagas attached to the skin of the creature, which emit powerful hormones that regenerate skin tissue. These symbiotic parasites are also capable of bending the light spectrum to become invisible.

The only way the Plagas covering a Regenerator can be detected is by using thermal imaging.
