Revision as of 05:39, 7 September 2011
As a baby, the Alligator was kept as a pet by a Raccoon City resident before ending up in the sewers. When the t-virus was released into the sewers, the creature became infected and adapted well to its effects, growing rapidly to over ten meters in length.
Appearances
It made its first appearance in Resident Evil 2 when Leon first encountered Ada at the Raccoon City sewers where the gator had cornered Ada, but it turns its attention to Leon, luckily he was able to defeat the giant reptile by tricking it into biting down a gas canister that is promptly shot; the resulting explosion blowing its head apart. Other examples of infected alligators would be seen in Resident Evil Survivor. It can also be found in Resident Evil: Outbreak - File 2 in the Zoo. However it didn't grow to enormous size as its cousin from Resident Evil 2.
The Alligator reappears as a boss in Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles. In this scenario it is fought by both Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield. This version of the fight shows Leon and Claire at first attempting to kill it by igniting a leaking pipe valve. However this only badly burns it, forcing the duo to trick it into biting down on a gas canister that is promptly shot; the resulting explosion blowing its head apart similar to its fate in RE 2.
Strategy
The Alligator can be killed by simply shooting it, causing it to eventually smash a hole in the wall and escape. Killing it in this way will cause a small amount of ammo to appear a little later on. The other more economical method involves releasing an emergency gas canister which the Alligator promptly picks up in its mouth. When the canister is shot, it explodes, taking much of the Alligator's head with it. Killing it this way means it can be killed with 1 hand gun round.
In Outbreak File #2, the only strategy is to just swim over the area where it lives. If you really need to shoot it, stay on the dry land but close to the water. Gnaw eventually will swim to the edge and try to attack you on land. When it will try, just shoot it. It will take a few bullets from the shotgun to take it down.
Inspirations
This giant reptile may have been based-off the "alligators in the sewers" urban legend.
The second possible death may also be a reference to the movie Jaws, in which the protagonist kills the shark when it eats an explosive canister and he shoots it, blowing it up and killing the shark.
