Tyrant

First appearance: Resident Evil 1

Proto Tyrant

A B.O.W. created in pursuit of the ultimate life-form, this is the prototype for the Tyrant. The experiment's subject was administered the maximum amount of T-Virus. It did not develop enough intelligence to follow commands, and its skin became severe decayed. Once these results were realized, development was halted and the subject was disposed of after data was gathered.

As in the final model, the Proto Tyrant's heart is exposed on its chest, and the spinal column is exposed as well. Despite its physical imperfection, its bodily devices are not inferior to later models, and it's clear that this was a successful trial. Its aggressiveness is no less than that of the final version, and it's extraordinarily durable. Even after disposal, the specimen was able to continue its activities, and closed in on its targets without any hesitation, attacking with its abnormally developed claws.

Tyrant/Super Tyrant

The result of continuing research using data collected from the Proto Tyrant, this is the ultimate life-form, made possible through effective implementation of the T-Virus. Code number T-002 is the original model, on which all subsequent Tyrants are based. It's the peak of all human-based B.O.W. and successfully implements the design for maximum effectiveness on the battlefield. To commemorate its success, it was officially christened the Tyrant, using the initial from the T-Virus as a symbol of the power it exhibits.

The Tyrant boasts impressive durability and battle capabilities, as well as enough brainpower to adhere to commands. Furthermore, if its own life is in severe danger, it will transform into the Super Tyrant. The brutality, agility, and attack power of the red-fleshed Tyrant make it an ideal B.O.W., deserving of its name.

In order to catalog its incredible capabilities, expansive battle data was deemed necessary and combat tests were arranged. A top-secret combat test was conducted against the members of S.T.A.R.S. within the Arklay research facility. The targets were highly skilled, and an abundance of data, far beyond what was imagined, was collected, bringing us even closer to completion of the Tyrant.

Code number T-103 is the subsequent model that was developed using the results of the T-002 performance tests. The T-103 has a higher recovery rate due to its increased metabolism. Compared to the T-002, the T-103 has a considerably more humanoid form. This means that a product capable of meeting our ultimate goal of infiltrating enemy territory is much closer than anticipated. Additionally, if its life support reaches a critical point, it will remove its power limiter (defense coat) and transform into a Super Tyrant.

The Tyrant deployed to Rockfort Island for training with Umbrella's special forces unit is a mass-produced T-103 type. The only big differences from the previous T-103 are that its limiter is removed and its claws are smaller. Attack power is identical to previous types, making it a formidable foe.

Tyrant (T-002 Type)

Used in an actual combat test with S.T.A.R.S., the T-002 model was the first step toward mass-production. It was scheduled to be manufactured after the final tests in the Arklay research facility, but there were areas in need of improvement.

Super Tyrant

This tyrant has disengaged its limiter and undergone dramatic changes. Its ability as a weapon is extremely increased. This is the T- 002's super form.

Tyrant (Code Veronica)

The mass-produced T-103 type deployed to Rockfort Island. It was deployed without a limiter, and thus its normal appearance cannot be confirmed. However, it's safe to assume that it's similar to the standard T- 103.

Tyrant (T-103 Type)

A new type of Tyrant created from the T-002 type. It has a much higher capacity for following orders, and was ordered in pursuit of the G- Virus within Raccoon City.

Super Tyrant (T-103 Type)

This is the T-103 type without its limiter. The T- 103 wears its limiter device in a defense coat when deployed. Once removed, it undergoes physical Transformation.
