Nemesis T-Type

Nemesis T-Type is the true name of the Nemesis appeared in the game Resident Evil 3: Nemesis.Nemesis appears as a cameo in Resident Evil: Survivor 2 Code: Veronica, where he will appear to chase the player if the timer runs out. This Nemesis is indestructible and the player must flee from it.The Nemesis was an experimental B.O.W created by implanting the NE-Alpha parasite into the spine of a Tyrant T-103 host making it the most powerful B.O.W of all which appears in Resident Evil 3 and Resident Evil: Survivor 2 Code: Veronica.

The European Branch of Umbrella Corporation originally developed the Nemesis as an offshoot of the Tyrant project, with the emphasis on increasing the host's intelligence and ability to follow orders without compromising the Tyrant's inherent strength and power. The breakthrough came with the discovery of the NE-T Virus and the related NE-Alpha parasite. This parasite could increase the intelligence of compatible hosts while allowing for almost instantaneous regeneration from all but the most grievous injuries, whereupon the subject is prone to violent mutation.

Development
There were four Nemesis T models developed by the European branch. One of them maintained the capability of independent thought during a stage of development, and attempted to escape, but was destroyed. The remaining three got their intelligence "restricted" and were fitted with inhibitor's to increase Umbrella's control over them. The Tyrant sent to Raccoon City during the outbreak was the second model, called Nemesis T-02. It was the only model that underwent a long period of training.

Characteristics
Nemesis is characterized by its relentlessness, strength, sheer stamina, and comparatively high intellect. Unlike the various Tyrant models before him, Nemesis is shown to be capable of (and even somewhat proficient at, showing it can kill multiple stationary targets without missing a shot as shown in Resident Evil: Apocalypse) employing weaponry and firearms to achieve it's objectives. It is also shown to have rational thinking abilities, as when it shot down a potential rescue helicopter, and can even speak to some extent (repeating the word "S.T.A.R.S." with various inflections).

Nemesis' primary order is to eliminate the remaining S.T.A.R.S. members, causing it to ignore all other potential targets when a S.T.A.R.S. member is present or nearby, although it will also eliminate anything that gets between it and it's target. Like the Tyrants before it, Nemesis boasts an enormously powerful physique, demonstrating the ability to break through most obstacles with enough effort, outrun any human, and leap incredible heights. Nemesis is by far the most resilient B.O.W. the Umbrella corporation ever created, with most man portable weaponry barely slowing it down while even heavy weaponry like explosives may only momentarily incapacitate it. Only the largest industrial grade weaponry was shown to cause any notable damage. Only G has mutational abilities matching those of Nemesis.

Nemesis' brutal arsenal is mostly comprised of a network of spear-like tentacles that cover its body. These tentacles are shown to be capable of tearing right through most human bodies. It was also armed with a Stinger missile launcher that it used to target vehicles and potential victims alike. This Rocket Launcher was designed specifically for Nemesis, and is too heavy for a human to carry. Records have shown that Nemesis has many more weapons up its sleeves, such as the combat knife, handgun, assault rifle and even a grenade launcher. Finally, it can be assumed that its black coat provides it with some protection from environmental and firearm damage while also perhaps forcing a more humanoid shape. The Nemesis' only real weakness seemed to be the detrimental mutations caused by the NE-T virus that only weakened and detracted from its combat effectiveness as time wore on. As the mutations continued, Nemesis lost sight of its programmed order and resorted to typical Tyrant behavior, destroying anything within reach.
