Hunter α

The Hunter α (alpha) model featured in Resident Evil 0 and Resident Evil, as well as in Resident Evil: Survivor. The first successful Hunter model, the Alpha model was developed by Albert Wesker and William Birkin within the Spencer Mansion in the Arklay Mountains. During the T-Virus outbreak in Raccoon Forest, the Hunters were released by the resurrected James Marcus to eliminate Rebecca Chambers and Billy Coen when they were in the facility. There were also a good deal of these Hunters stored in the Arklay Research Facility, where they were released by Wesker in an attempt to eliminate the surviving members of S.T.A.R.S.. There were also some Sweeper variants of this type of Hunter. Originally they took two Colt Python shots to take down. But in the re-release of Resident Evil, they only took one shot to kill. They've only taken one shot to kill ever since.
