The Fumer (development code: "WM-002") are an enemy unique to the "Not a Hero" mode of Resident Evil 7: Biohazard.
History[]
After the recovery of Mia Winters and her husband Ethan, Chris Redfield is tasked with apprehending Lucas Baker and look into the disappearance of three fellow BSAA operators.
Chris Redfield proceeds into the salt mines, which has been converted into Lucas' personal hideout. Very soon into the investigation Chris finds the tunnels are infested with a strange white mold that is producing deadly spores into the air. Further into the mines, Chris stumbles upon the Fumers, advanced white Molded that are invulnerable to regular damage, forcing him to retreat. He soon after finds Anti-Regen Ammo that is capable of breaking down the fungal membranes and prevents the regeneration of damaged tissue, this ammunition is more than capable of defeating Fumers, only requiring a singular well placed shot.
It is later found out that they are the creation of Lucas Baker in association with The Connections, who supplied him with a fully operational laboratory and research staff in the hopes of improving upon the E-Type Molded. They were codenamed WM-002 in research files and photographs.
Biology[]
Fumers look similar to a basic Molded, but with white-colored mycelia/fungal strands covering their bodies. Their heads are much more human-like than their brethren, resembling a decaying skull instead of a mass of fangs - however, they retain the basic Molded's clawed hands. Organs and muscle tissue can be seen beneath the mold, implying that these Molded are created from human victims instead of being directly manifested from the Mold. Fumers are almost invulnerable to ballistic trauma due to their rapid cellular regeneration. However, they can easily be killed by using the Anti-Regen Ammo. This is because the Anti-Regen Ammo uses rapid-acting mycetotoxic compounds, which not only destroys fungal tissue, but also disables their ability to regenerate damaged tissue.
Gameplay[]
Fumers behave similarly to regular Molded, however they cannot be damaged by standard gunfire due to their rapid regeneration, instead requiring Anti-Regen ammo to put them down.
They can however be stunned either by any explosives (grenades, red barrels etc) or via a melee attack after blocking one of their attacks.
Earlier on in the game mode, they are meant to be avoided entirely as the player has no way to deal with them, although even when they acquire Anti-Regen ammo, running past the ones in the spore tunnels is still a viable tactic.
