Giant Moth

The Giant Moth was the result of a gypsy moth used for experimentation by Umbrella Pharmaceutical, becoming infected with the t-virus through secondary transmission.

Types
There are several types of this creature:

n Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil Outbreak, a giant moth has made a nest inside Dr. William Birkin's research lab. In RE2, this moth can be found inside the B5 computer room where it has made its nest, and must be killed in order to access the terminal and input the fingerprints needed to access the B.O.W. storage room on B4. It attacks by biting the player.

In Outbreak however it can be found flying around the central core chamber where it is revealed to be able to produce poisonous dust from its wings. This moth will also occasionally kidnap the player or an ally and seal them inside the cocoon in its nest. After freeing themselves, the character will be poisoned. In both games, the section of passage immediately outside the computer room is the home of several poisonous Baby Moths which drop from the ceiling, and in Outbreak can spit poison at the player.

Also, in Resident Evil Survivor, two giant moths similar to the one in Birkin's lab can be found nesting beneath the prison complex.

Moths are generally weak enemies but can prove troublesome due to their ability to inflict the poison status. The giant moths in RE2, Outbreak and Survivor can be killed with enough firepower.
