Brain Sucker

First appearance: Resident Evil 3: NEMESIS

Information

An irregular mutant that bears a strong resemblance to the Drain Deimos. It has two heads and an almost reptilian body, as if two disparate creatures had been fused together into some strange new creation. Like the Drain Deimos, the Brain Sucker was a flea before its mutation, but must have been feeding on a different kind of animal that became infected with the virus.

In contrast to the Drain Deimos' diet of cerebrospinal fluid, you can guess how Brain Suckers get their nourishment: they suck out the brains of any humans unfortunate enough to come near them. Upon spotting prey, the Brain Sucker destroys the head of the target and then inserts both of its tongues into the remains. It's surprisingly dexterous at opening up skulls to get to their contents.

Aside from their tendency to go after brains instead of cerebrospinal fluid, Brain Suckers attack with their claws and fangs in much the same way as Drain Deimos. But unlike the Drain Deimos, Brain Suckers also have toxic venom they can spit at their prey from a distance.

Both Drain Deimos and Brain Suckers lay eggs to reproduce. When these eggs hatch, they produce what seem to be merely smaller versions of themselves, allowing them to propagate at frightening speeds.
