(Capcom's primary storyline)
The Cyst is a kind of organism encountered in Resident Evil: Revelations 2.
Biology[]
The Cyst is a pustule-like mass attached to the floors and ground of the detention center on Sein Island. It seems to be a kind of slime mold that mutated and developed abnormally in the unsanitary environment where t-Phobos Virus leaked, and it has the characteristic of rapidly swelling and bursting when triggered by external stimuli. This characteristic is a way to expand its breeding ground by attaching the scattered slime mold to other organisms, but the mold is highly toxic, making it so dangerous that it could be considered as an automatically-deployed mine-type bioweapon.[excerpt 1]
Gameplay[]
In Claire's Episodes, certain Afflicted have large tumors on their heads. Doing any damage to the tumor will instantly kill the Afflicted but also cause three pus lumps to spurt out. If any of these land on the floor, they become a Cyst. Cysts are also encountered already spawned.
When the player gets too close to them or does any damage to them, they will swell up and then explode in the similar manner as a Sploder. This results in players who are too close being knocked down, blinded and taking a high amount of damage. The explosion can also hurt other enemies.
Cysts are slower to react the player's presence in Claire's Episodes and Extra Episode: The Struggle than in Barry's Episodes.
Focusing Moira's Flashlight on them will make them dissolve and disappear rather than explode. If the player does not dissolve/explode a cyst in Claire's Episode, then they will be present in the same place in Barry's Episodes.
In Raid Mode, Cysts never count towards the enemy counter. They never have skills and drop only a small amount of Exp and Gold.

"施設の床や地面に付着した膿疱状の塊。ウィルスの漏洩した不衛生な環境下で変異し、異常発達をとげた粘菌の一種であるらしく、外部から刺激を受けると急激に膨張して群体を破裂させる特性を持つ。これは飛び散った粘菌を他の生物に付着させて繁殖地域を拡げるためだと思われるが、菌は強い毒性を保持しており、自動的に敷設される地雷型生物兵器とも言うべき危険物となっている。"
