Nemesis-T Type/biology



Nemesis is characterized by its relentlessness, strength, sheer stamina, and comparatively high intellect. Unlike the various Tyrant models before him, Nemesis shows it's capable of employing weaponry and firearms to achieve his objectives. He is also shown to have rational thinking abilities, as when he shot down a potential rescue helicopter and can even speak to some extent (though the only word he ever says is "S.T.A.R.S.").

Nemesis' primary order is to eliminate the remaining S.T.A.R.S. members, causing him to ignore all other potential targets when a S.T.A.R.S. member is present or nearby, although he will also eliminate anything that gets between him and his target, or something that is a threat. Like the Tyrants before him, Nemesis boasts an enormously powerful physique, demonstrating the ability to break through most obstacles with enough effort, outrun any human, and leap incredible heights. Besides T.A.L.O.S., Nemesis is the most resilient B.O.W. the Umbrella Corporation ever created, with most man-portable weaponry barely slowing him down while even heavy weaponry like explosives may only momentarily incapacitate him. 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 his body. These tentacles are shown to be capable of tearing right through most human bodies. He was also armed with a FIM-92 Stinger missile launcher that he used to target vehicles and potential victims alike. This Rocket Launcher was modified specifically for Nemesis, and is too heavy for a human to carry. Finally, he can be assumed that his black coat provides him with some protection from environmental and firearm damage while also perhaps forcing a more humanoid shape.

The model does not posses any true weakness and is even able to survive an anti-T chemical used for the processing of infected waste. The pursuer, however, was heavily damaged, resorting to eating the remains of a fellow T-103 to reclaim its strength. This blob-like form is unlikely to be a stage of its (d)evolution, but likely a random mutation caused by the chemicals.

The Nemesis' only real weakness seemed to be the detrimental mutations caused by the t-Virus that only weakened and detracted from his combat effectiveness as time wore on. As the mutations continued, Nemesis lost sight of his programmed order and resorted to typical Tyrant behavior, destroying anything within reach.
