Regenerador

Also called: Regenerator, Regeneradores
GamesInfected, still aliveShamblesA parasite2000 to 2009

A grey, wheezing experiment from the island laboratory of Resident Evil 4. Bullets barely slow it because it regrows what it loses; it dies only when the parasites inside it are shot, and they show up only through a thermal scope. Shinji Mikami described enemies like it as a way to balance fear against the satisfaction of overcoming it.123
