Stinger

First appearance: Resident Evil 0

Information

The Stinger is a B.O.W. created by administering the T-Virus to a scorpion. It reaches lengths of up to 3 meters, including its pincers. Additionally, the virus has caused the creature's exoskeleton to harden. Its pincers in particular are tough enough to cut through steel. The increased thickness and strength of the creature's exoskeleton enables it to absorb damage from firearms. However, this is the extent of the virus's effects on the creature.

The Stinger has a tough, armored body, but its head is surprisingly vulnerable. This is its primary weakness, and during actual combat it resorts to covering its head declared a viable B.O.W.with its claws. Furthermore, as a B.0.W., it should secrete poison from its stinger, but it lacks that ability. It only behaves like a scorpion when attacking with its large pincers. Its other attack patterns are slow and clumsy, consisting of charging the target and stabbing with its tail. The Stinger falls short of what was desired from a mutated scorpion.
