Duvalia

Description
Unlike other plagas who burst from the neck, Duvalia plagas will rip apart the host's entire upper body. They appear as shelled flower like parasites. Their weak point is the fleshy "tail" that hangs off their back, and the fleshy core of the shell, which is only exposed when the Duvalia is about to attack the player. In addition to these and the usual weakness to bright light, Duvalia can be blown to pieces with a single hand grenade. Duvalia has no arms and no jumping ability, making it one of the only foes in the entire ga[me who cannot follow the player if they climb a ladder.

Duvalia can also be seen as an action figure in the Resident Evil 5 bonus features.
