Cockroaches are a common arthropod in North America.
Biology and behaviour
Cockroaches show little-to-no change in their body or intelligence when infected with the t-Virus.
Common cockroaches infected with the t-Virus covered the sewers of Raccoon City and Sheena Island. Although generally harmless, when larger 'roaches get together; they can pose a threat to Humans,[notes 1] and were responsible for the near-total extermination of Raccoon City's rat population.[1] These creatures have been known to use cannibalism as a way of accessing nutrients.[2]
A cockroach was infected with an unidentified virus which allowed Dr. Cameron to take control of it. She controlled the creature up until she saw a Rat, to which she passed on the virus. An infected cockroach also grew to a humanoid size and had large arms that had sharps talons and could impale victims within range, see the Reaper.
