Fleischesser Orchid

The Fleischesser Orchid was an experimental bio-weapon developed in the 21st century by Giesel Industries based upon Plant 43 bio-weapons produced by Umbrella. Fleischesser is German for "meat eater".

These B.O.W.s were encountered and fought by a team of B.S.A.A. agents led by Holiday Sugarman and Mina Gere in South America.

Biology
Fleischesser Orchids were developed by infecting paphiopedilum kolopakingii with the t-Virus, mutating them into bipedal green plants with arm-like extensions and yellow beady eyes. They would ambush prey by hiding their forms beneath flowering orchid bushes, attacking anything that ventured near with their vines. They would use their vines to impale or constrict enemies and were proven strong enough to tear a grown man in half.

History
When Giesel Industries was accused of developing B.O.W.s for sale on the black market, the U.N. authorized a search warrant requested by the B.S.A.A. During the investigation of Fritz Giesel's compound in Übelandia, Fritz's clone, Neuermann Giesel led the team of B.S.A.A. agents into the estate's greenhouse. As the team began to search the premises, some agents stopped to observe the numerous orchids inside the greenhouse. Before Holiday Sugarman could advise his team, the plants impaled an agent, swiftly bisecting him.

It was revealed that Neuermann actually led the group into an ambush, unleashing dozens of various B.O.W.s upon the agents to collect combat data on his newly developed weapons. The creatures were immediately put under machine gun fire as the team retreated to a storage room to bottleneck the threat. Barkin was tasked with assaulting the bio-weapons with her flamethrower before the Übersoldat was released. All Fleischesser Orchids were apparently killed off during the assault.
