Hunter è una delle tante creature presenti nella serie di Resident Evil.

Gli Hunters sono creature bipedi simi a rettili con grandi artigli e denti, and are noted for the loud shrieking noises they make when they encounter prey. Sono delle Armi Bio Organiche (A.B.O.) create dalla Umbrella Corporation combinando un ovulo umano fertilizzato con DNA di rettile e poi impiantando il Virus T nella creatura risultante.

The original Hunters, or Alpha models, as they've been retroactively coined, appeared in the original Resident Evil. As a result, the Hunters have become one of the best-known creatures in the series.

Several kinds of Hunters have appeared in almost every Resident Evil game, with Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 4 being the exceptions. The Resident Evil 2 exception may be denounced completely due to a deceased Hunter 121 in the Nintendo 64 port of the game.

[modifica] Tipi di Hunters

[modifica] MA-121 Hunter Alpha

Modello di Hunter presente in Resident Evil Zero e Resident Evil, così come in Resident Evil: Survivor. Il primo modello di Hunter riuscito, il modello Alpha fu sviluppato da Albert Wesker e William Birkin all'interno dell'Arklay Research Facility nelle Arklay Mountains. Durante the T-Virus outbreak nella Raccoon Forest, gli Hunters furono released dal resuscitato James Marcus per eliminare Rebecca Chambers e Billy Coen. C'erano anche degli Hunters immagazzinati nell'the Arklay Research Facility, dove furono releasedda Wesker nel tentativo di eliminare i membri superstiti della S.T.A.R.S.

• Appare in: Resident Evil Zero, Resident Evil, Resident Evil Survivor e Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles

[modifica] Tick

Una variazione del MA-121 Hunter Alpha. È rosso e sanguina sangue bianco. Appare solamente nella versione Sega Saturn di Resident Evil.

[modifica] MA-121 Hunter Beta

A variation of the standard Hunter, based on battle data collected from the Alpha model in the Arklay Research Facility. These were being transported to Raccoon City in order to obtain their final combat data before they were mass-produced. Due to the viral outbreak, they never left Raccoon City, and eventually the Hunters escaped. Instead of the normal head crest found on Alpha models, Beta models were covered with red tumors that obscured one of their eyes. Though they were significantly quicker than the Alpha model and had an improved nervous system that helped them to evade bullets, they lacked fighting prowess and further research was carried out to improve the model.

• Appears in: Resident Evil 3:Nemesis

[modifica] MA-124 Hunter Gamma

An amphibian version of the Hunter. The Gamma model has no eyes or teeth. Instead, it has a large mouth and small claws on their webbed hands. Instead of finishing an opponent off by decapitation like other Hunters, the Gamma hunter will grab the person and swallow them whole. They were secretly being harvested in tubes within a small lab in the Raccoon General Hospital, and make their home in the watery areas of the basement. Due to their amphibious nature, they are exceedingly difficult to transport and maintain. Therefore, the only existing Gamma models were experimental ones, as they were not mass-produced. They cannot resist dry air or heat, and thus must be kept in moist environemtns to ensure survival. The research on the model was not continued due to its multiple weaknesses and lack of fighting prowess. Another version of the Gamma, the Gamma-y, appears in the Outbreak games, where it lacks claws and has a slightly more human appearance, walking on two legs.

• Appears in: Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, Resident Evil Outbreak, Resident Evil: Outbreak File #2

[modifica] MA-125 Hunter R

A faster variation of the Alpha model. Similar to the Alpha model in terms of appearance. Its distinguishing characteristics include smaller claws and spikes on its back. It is thought that this Hunter variation was developed under the orders of William Birkin himself, and that the mutations come from increasing the amount of human genetic material in their systems.

The numerous Hunter Rs only appear in the "Below Freezing Point" scenario of Resident Evil: Outbreak.

In Umbrella Chronicles it is shown that some Hunter Rs began working together in packs.

The Hunter Rs also appear in Outbreak File #2 and a miniature model (Hunter Mu)) can be found in the "Nursery" room of the lab.

• Appears in: Resident Evil: Outbreak, Resident Evil: Outbreak File #2, Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles

[modifica] Enhanced Hunter

The Enhanced Hunter featured in Resident Evil Code: Veronica. Also known as the Hunter II model. This Hunter was more intelligent than any of Umbrella's previous models, as it could track down its target through an automated surveillance device called a 'Seeker'.

• Appears in: Resident Evil Code: Veronica, and Resident Evil Code: Veronica X

[modifica] Sweeper

Una variazione dell'Enhanced Hunter, lo Sweeper ha vene e scales that are a light purple color, con occhi rossi that separate them from the Enhanced Hunter. They attaccano nella stessa maniera degli Enhanced Hunters, ma i loro artigli hanno un additional poison effect, making them considerably more dangerous.

• Appare in: Resident Evil Code: Veronica e Resident Evil Code: Veronica X

[modifica] Hunter Elite

Modello di Hunter apparso in Resident Evil: Dead Aim. Si dice che l'Hunter Elite sia più veloce e più potente dell'Hunter standard.

• Appare in: Resident Evil: Dead Aim

[modifica] Glimmer

Glimmers are mainly found in dark rooms, allowing the player to see only their glowing red eyes in the dark. They move extremely fast, making them very difficult to hit.

• Appears in: Resident Evil: Dead Aim

[modifica] In other media

In addition to the Hunter models listed, S.D. Perry's series of Resident Evil novelizations also feature two unique Hunter models that are not in any of the games. The MA-7 appears in the novel Caliban Cove and another species of Hunter (known as the '3k' model) is mentioned in the novel Underworld. The '3k' has a chromatophoric capability which made them disappear into their surroundings, similar to a chameleon. They are hypersensitive to light and seemed to feel pain when sudden flashes occurred.
