They made sharp and low roaring, screeching and growling sounds. Neo T B.O.W.s had animalistic intelligence and lacked a “human-like will”, which could be due to brain damage or to their animalistic traits. Like Hunters, they would attack while jumping into the air, giving them a vertical advantage against opponents on the ground. They were difficult to shoot at due to their speed and agility and they typically charged at their prey with their claws. While they were very strong, they were not particularly hardy when compared to some other B.O.W.s - Norse killed one of them by shooting it in the chest and head with three bullets from his M1911 handgun, and another with a single shot of his Ithaca M37 shotgun to the chest.ĭespite their appearance making them seem “slow and heavy”, the largest strength of Neo T B.O.W.s was mobility. Neo T B.O.W.s used their claws when in combat, which were strong enough to quickly shred metal elevator doors. Their muscles were segmented and mishappen. Their navels were enlarged, possibly used to feed them by handlers. They had circular, sharp-toothed mouths on their torsos, around where the ribs should have been, which were very similar to those on Chimeras and Man Spiders. The claws created a distinctive slashing sound when the monsters walked. The claws of each monster varied in size, with some of them being 30 centimeters/1 foot long. was dominated by a single hook-like claw, either as a result of the genes of clawed animals or due to a latent mutation tendency in the virus. These differences in appearance in different individuals implies that the creatures were not clones.Įach hand of a Neo T B.O.W. was stated to use fangs to attack Norse Chirac. Their bodies were covered in reddish-brown hair, which could imply that these creatures were part orangutang. The faces of Neo T B.O.W.s were the only parts of their bodies that retained a human-like appearance. Some of these creatures had human teeth, while others had insect-like mandibles. They were larger and more muscular than most humans, bearing a resemblance to gorillas. They were around two meters, or six and a half feet, tall. Neo T B.O.W.s were bipedal like the humans they were based on. They may also have merely been prototypes for the ultimate creature created by the Neo-T Virus: Mylenia. It is also possible that Neo T B.O.W.s were created by fusing a human adult or human embryo with animal genes while using the Neo T-Virus as a vector, much like the processes used for Chimeras and Hunters. If this was the case, the Zombies on Gaddywall Island could have been hosts who were incompatible with the Neo T-Virus, or the result of unfinished prototype strains of Neo T. In this case, it would be easy to see why Neo T would have been considered superior to the mainline t-Virus – Neo T B.O.W.s were much more ferocious and deadly than Zombies. These B.O.W.s may have been the typical result of infection with the Neo T. It may be that this was the result of the “marvelous genes” Mylene incorporated into the Neo T-Virus. As they were extremely similar in appearance to the Chimera B.O.W.s and had several animalistic traits (particularly those of mammals and arthropods), they were likely hybrid organisms. These Neo T B.O.W.s (no actual, official name is ever given for these creatures) were described as “a new evolution through the artificial recombination of genes”. They did not need to breathe and were not harmed by a deadly nerve gas ("prototype nervous respiratory failure promoting gas VKG-III"). Neo T Zombies lacked the strength to break a car window and the intelligence to open doors. Mylene had no interest in Zombies, seeing them as failed byproducts of her research, and so she likely made no effort to weaponize or improve them. The reason for this could have been due to the modifications Birkin and Wesker made to the mainline strain – they envisioned the t-Virus as a means to exterminate populations with the Zombie mutation, and so tailored the virus with the Zombie symptom in mind. This could imply that Neo Zombies were actually weaker than typical ones. with its skull shattering when the head hit the ground. One Zombie was easily decapitated when Norse swung a stick at it. Particular notice was taken by Bruce that Neo Zombies were incredibly fragile. Neo T Zombies were seemingly identical to the Zombies created by the mainline t-Virus. This is because the Zombie mutation is inherent to most strains derived from the Progenitor Virus. The Neo T-Virus for the most part seemed to function in much the same way as the main t-Virus, in that it turned humans and dogs into Zombies.
