Changes: Adjule

Revision as of 20:17, 20 September 2011

Adjule are feral canines as well as hyenas or African hunting dog based B.O.Ws infected with Type 2 Plagas. They are seen in one trailer where Chris Redfield and Sheva Alomar are in a kennel surrounded by them. The Adjule can split their heads open, revealing a long ranged parasite and huge, 'dagger' teeth inside their necks. These creatures are reminiscent of the Colmillos of Spain.

Strategy

They should be considered very dangerous because they move swiftly and attack in packs of two or more. If you have any Incendiary Grenades when encountering these dogs, they are highly effective. The blast of a Shotgun is very useful because of its large blast which helps hit more than one Adjule, and makes it easier to hit ones that try to encircle you. When in their split head form, they are considerably more dangerous because of it's grappling attack, yet they are more vulnerable to headshots. In this mutated state, they can be killed instantly with flash grenades or flash rounds just as with other types of plaga parasites revealed from its host. They are named after a real-life canid cryptid reported in the Sahara Desert.

In chapter 2-2, there are also two larger Adjules which are African wild dogs. The only difference from a regular Adjule is they are larger, have a different appearance and do more damage. Also, if using un-upgraded weapons they are a lot tougher than a normal adjule, however, using hand grenades can kill or significantly damage these wild dogs with correct timing. If you do not aim for their plagas when they split, they can easily kill the player.

Sometimes even tentacles (watch the first 30 seconds of the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsyRzPV3D_c&feature=fvwrel ) will appear from their split head to attack from a short range. This has been noted especially in chapter 6.1 where they are trying to attack the trapped player under the cage.

Trivia

The head splitting action of the Adjule may have been inspired by the 1982 remake of "The Thing" from the scene when the dog reveals it's actually the alien by spliting it's head open with waving tentacles just like the Adjule.
The Adjule bears a striking resemblance to a modern Weimaraner dog.
The concept of a dog with its head split in half is also seen in Double Head monster in the game Silent Hill 3.
Interestingly, in professional mode, you can only take two hits from Adjule's jump before entering dying state, while compared to four bites in the neck.
On Hardened/Professional, the Adjule's attack when they pin you down is devastating. Make sure your partner is close by or you will die in a few seconds without help.
The Adjule is named after a mythical/cryptid species of wild dog reported in the Sahara, well known in local urban legends.
The Adjule's abilities appears in the movie Resident Evil: Afterlife for the cerberus.
