Bandersnatch

First appearance: Resident Evil: Code Veronica

Information

A new kind of prototype B.O.W. made from a human subject. Designed to be a Tyrant with greater adaptability, it has been developed with focus on practicality rather than sheer destructive power. To that end, no attempt has been made to give it a human appearance.

Its most notable characteristic is its method of transportation. It grabs onto things with its extendable right arm and pulls itself around in the blink of an eye. This is an ability not found in previous humanoid B.O.Ws, and it allows the Bandersnatch to track its target quickly and with great precision. In addition to the right arm's great strength, it also has great flexibility. The Bandersnatch can flail it around like a whip, or pick up its targets and either throw them against a wall or crush their skulls.

However, the Bandersnatch is far from perfect. Due to its imperfect prototype status, its lower body has devolved and its ability to walk is heavily impaired. Furthermore, its left arm is all but nonexistent, forcing it to rely on its right arm exclusively. If you compare it to a standalone Tyrant, its flaws seem to stand out greatly. However, it cannot be denied that, like its namesake from Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking Glass, it's a formidable foe. With its considerate attack power and durability, most creatures fear it even if does nothing more than attack repetitively with its right arm.
