Lurker
Information
A B.O.W. born from early experiments with the T-virus. Almost immediately upon beginning the virus research, a huge number of failed experiments were produced. The Lurker is one of those failed experiments, and it is made from an amphibian frog base.
Their eyes and ears have devolved greatly in this form,
but their ability to sense prey has been evolved to an
almost supernatural level. Their tongues in this form
have become strong enough to actually impale a human
target with little effort. Their digestive systems have also
developed to the point where they can swallow a human
whole, as those systems are now strong enough to kill
whatever prey they swallow almost instantly.
Although they contain formidable offensive properties,
the reason the Lurkers were not able to be employed as
actual B.O.W.s is because of the gaping lack of intelligence.
No matter how much time had passed between the
administering of the T-virus, they showed no signs of
development in their brains, and thus there was no effort made to condition
them to follow orders so they could function as B.O.W.s. This experiment
showed that there was little hope of creating great weapons from amphibian
bases with the T-virus, and even the later developed much improved Hunter Y
type was lacking in the same areas due to its amphibious nature.
