Licker (Anderson)

An Advanced Licker is a variation of the Licker that has appeared in the first resident evil film.

Development and Mutation
When Lickers were introduced to the film, they were identified by the Red Queen as one of The Hive's earliest experiments. The production of the Lickers resulted in what the Red Queen described as an unstable development when the Tyrant Virus was injected into living tissue.

After U.B.C.S had shut down the Red Queen's defenses, The Hive lost much power, allowing the Licker that was in it's confinement to escape, lurking within The Hive. It eventually killed Spence Parks who was earlier bitten by a zombie and tried to cure himself with the anti-virus. As it continued to consume Spence's blood, the Red Queen reveals that when it consumes living DNA, it mutates into a more enhanced form of Licker, describing it as a stronger faster hunter.

Death
The Advanced Licker proceeded to track down the remaining survivors of the incident that has transpired in The Hive (which includes Alice, Rain Ocampo, Chad Kaplan and Matt Addison). It eventually catches up to them trying to escape The Hive using the train that is connected between The Hive and the Spencer Mansion. The Advanced Licker kills Chad Kaplan, and infects Matt Addison via scratch to the arm. It then proceeds to break into the train in an attempt to wipe out the remaining survivors. Alice impales it's long tongue with the sharp end of a pole to the floor door of the train. As Matt attempts to open the doors using a nearby switch, Rain became a zombie and Matt was force to kill her with a shot to he head with a gun. Rain's body fell to the switch that opens the floor doors, and the Advanced Licker is dragged on the tracks with it's tongue still spiked to the floor of the train and burned alive by the fire generated by the electrical sparks on the tracks. Matt closes the train's floor doors, cutting the Advanced Licker's tongue apart and the creature to die on the tracks while Alice and Matt make their escape on the train.

Attack Patterns
An Advanced Licker possesses the same ablities as standard Licker as far as being able to climb on walls and ceiling and attacking with it's long tongue. However it has shown to be much stronger (and larger) than a standard Licker as it can break through steel barricaded doors with minimal effort. It shows greater resistance to fire-arms as one shot to it's head (by Alice) did not affect it at all and proceeded to pursue it's targets.
