Large Roaches

Information

These were normal roaches that lived in the sewers until becoming infected with the T-Virus and growing to roughly 7-8 times their natural size (40 centimeters). Apparently they became infected by eating mice that had also been infected. When attacking, they have a tendency to bite onto the softest parts of their prey's body.

For humans, they tend to go straight for the carotid artery. To ensnare their prey, they move and attack in groups. The cockroach's natural durability has only been enhanced by the virus, and their numbers have been shooting up because of it.

Alexia Ashford used these ants in her experiments with the T-Veronica virus. Injecting them with the virus led to hugely increased growth and hostility. The infected ants began chomping away with their pincers at whatever prey they could find.

Because they were kept for over 15 years, their numbers grew immensely. They can be found in the basement of the Antarctic base, having built a gigantic anthill to house themselves.
