Reaper

Reapers are an insectoid B.O.W, resembling giant humanoid cockroaches. Standing upright at around 7 feet, they have 4 upper body claws they use as arms, and 2 legs. Shooting off these appendages will cripple the reaper, the removal of an arm stopping it from using its instant kill grab. However, Reapers are capable of regenerating limbs extremely quickly, taking only a couple seconds to repair a head, arm, or leg.

The only two ways to kill a reaper are to shoot the glowing abdominal sac when the armor plating shifts off to vent gas, or by hitting the Reaper with explosives powerful enough to obliterate its body completely. The reaper also has 2 glowing sacs on its back, which when both are destroyed stuns the Reaper and forces it to prominently reveal its abdominal weak point.

The Reaper attacks primarily by using its upper claws to grab a target, and the middle scything talons to repeatedly puncture and shred the victims abdomen, killing them instantly. When one of its body claws are destroyed, the Reaper can still counterattack by slicing with its remaining appendages. The Reaper can quickly close distance on enemies by crawling on its 6 appendages, however, while doing so it cannot attack and reveals its two glowing back sacs.

While fighting a Reaper, at close range the screen will create double images of everything, obscuring aim and making it extremely difficult and dangerous to target the abdominal sac when it opens.

The Reaper appears to be a continuation of Umbrella's Chimera research, only using cockroach DNA instead of a flies. Shooting off the head of a Chimera will not effect the Chimera in any way, as it retains its movement speed, attacks, and appears to track you by scent.

Fire is extremely ineffective against a Reaper, as incendiary grenades cannot damage a Reapers weak points, remove its limbs, or slow it down in any way.
