Mimicry Marcus

Information

This creature is actually composed of countless leeches that have merged together to imitate the late Dr. James Marcus. How simple annelid leeches are capable of forming into their creator is a difficult phenomenon to explain. However, it's certain that these leeches function as a collective intelligence. The leeches secrete an adhesive bodily fluid over their cuticle in order to mold together. This coating hardens as they fuse together. However, there is a limit to how well they can sustain this form, and can only do so if it's stationary.

Mimicry Marcus (Stationary Form)

This is the stationary Mimicry Marcus. Just as the name implies, leeches have fused together in a humanoid shape, perfectly mimicking Dr. Marcus.

When approached by an outsider, the leeches will break their form and attack. In this case, the creature retains a somewhat human form, although the visage of Dr. Marcus becomes distorted and the face disappears entirely. It attacks by stretching out its right arm like a whip and striking the target. The only way to dispose of Mimicry Marcus is to use its permeable properties against it with sulfur, or to incinerate it. However, it has a tendency to explode and scatter itself when critically damaged, so it may not be a wise decision to simply attack.

Mimicry Marcus (Attack Form)

This form is taken by the leeches to facilitate movement. It no longer bears any resemblance to Dr. Marcus. It attacks with whip-like appendages and attempts to grab its targets, covering them with bodily fluid. This will infect the target with the T-Virus if they get too close.
