| + | {{Nihongo|'''Ganado'''|ガナード|ganādo}} is the term given to a human victim of the [[Las Plagas|Recessive Plaga Species]] genetically-engineered by ''[[Los Iluminados]]''. The word is derived from the Spanish word "''ganado''", which means "''livestock''" in general, but can refer to bovines in particular. |
||
| − | == |
+ | ==History== |
| + | In the Early Modern Period, Ganados were only found in one particular region of Spain, and were part of a pagan religion. These Ganados were slaughtered in a Crusade led by [[Salazar]], who sealed the surviving [[Plaga]]s in underground caves. The Plagas escaped the caves in the early 21st century and turned a number of miners from the nearby village into Ganados. Through genetic-engineering of the parasite, the bio-weapons developer ''Los Iluminados'' was able to genetically engineer two new subspecies: the Dominant Plagas which would be under the control of its host and mutate them at will, and the Recessive Plagas which would force the host to obey commands from the former. The Ganados were of this latter variety. |
||
| − | Unlike virally-mutated humans such as [[Zombie]]s, Ganados do not suffer from a decline in intelligence. Their skills are not lost upon parasitisation and they will continue day-to-day life. For instance, Ganado villagers may be seen rearing animals and using pitchforks to turn hay. Ganados do however exhibit a change in living standards, and will comfortably consume rotting flesh on a plate. In social terms, Ganados live together as they did before parasitisation, and work with one another. |
||
| + | Seeking to recruit the local population into an army, ''Los Iluminados'' brainwashed the villagers to follow a neopagan religion, seeing its leader [[Osmund Saddler]] as a "Prophet". These villagers were injected with Plaga eggs which would take over their body, disguised as a baptismal ritual. Now unwaveringly loyal to their Prophet, the Ganados received orders to kill trespassers on sight. The village Ganados protected their area armed with farming tools, but using any mechanical skills to create explosives. Those which lived in Salazar's castle served as monks, and were provided medieval weaponry. Those who served in the Prophet Saddler's army on his island were armed with firearms. How many people were killed for the crime of trespass is uncertain, as a number of locals were also executed for various, unknown offenses. It is certain that two police officers from Madrid were killed by villagers. |
||
| − | Ganados parasitised with Los Iluminados' Plagas are known to follow orders devoutely from their leader, the Prophet Osmund Saddler. Due to a mutant Plaga within Saddler's body as well as his religious leadership, he was able to influence the Ganados and their Plagas. Ordered to keep outsiders out of the region at all costs, Ganados are driven to kill. |
||
| + | Following the storming of the region by [[Leon S. Kennedy]] and [[Ada Wong]], the Ganados faced severe losses, including that of all Dominant Plaga hosts. Though the Spanish government sealed off the area, displaced persons native to the region were parasitised again when they illegally returned to their homes. As late as 2016 ''Los Iluminados'' was still operational to an unknown degree, though it is uncertain if it was led by Ganados. |
||
| − | An effect the Plaga has on the Ganado body internally is an apparent high pain threshold as well as superhuman strength, with more significantly affected Ganados carrying heavy weapons such as chainsaws. Though they may be taken aback by an initial gunshot, Ganados have the drive to continue standing and to continue an attack. If a Ganado has suffered too much damage, however, the Plaga may tear through their neck to defend itself with its appendages. |

| − | In ''Resident Evil 4'', Ganados appear in three varieties known as Villagers; Cultists and Combatants. Of these there are minibosses, such as Chainsaw Ganado; Garrador, and Gatling Man, who are represented elsewhere. The Villagers appear in Chapters 1 and 2 as the standard enemy, and briefly appear in Chapter 4 in the underground ruins. The Cultists appear briefly in [[Chapter 2-2 (Resident Evil 4)|Chapter 2-2]], but are otherwise exclusive to Chapters 3 and 4. The Combatants meanwhile are entirely exclusive to Chapter 5. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Villagers are generally armed with hand tools suck as axes and sickles, with a minority armed with dynamite. If at a distance they may throw their weapons. Cultists have greater access to ranged weapons and may use bowguns. |

| − | |Unarmed ganados will only be able to rush forward and grab the player in an attempt to strangle and throw them to the ground to break the character's neck. Upon grabbing, the player will start taking damage and a quick-time event will appear where the player has to shake the control stick to damage the Ganado and break free. Failure to do so results in the villager lifting Leon off the ground and throwing him down. This attack causes a minimum of 2 bars of damage in Professional Mode, and can do up to 3.5 bars of damage if not resisted. If a Ganado grabs the character from behind, it will not do any damage but the quick-time event will still appear and this position provides other Ganados with weapons an opportunity to attack. |

Touching the ganado while he/she's burning does not damage the player. This attack will do about 3.5 bars of damage if Leon gets hit in Professional Mode. |

They can perform a quick shield bash which will knock down the player or, if they have a flail in their other hand, perform the flail swing. The shields will break when shot at. Piercing weapons will also hit the cultist behind the shield, causing them to flinch or even die. Shotgun fire or explosions will usually destroy the entire shield. |

| − | |Ganados with dynamite must first light their sticks before throwing it. They will have an infinite amount of sticks and being hit can cause anywhere between 4-6 bars of damage, depending on how close the player is to the explosion. The explosion can harm the Ganado who originally threw it, as well as other Ganados close to the explosion. While holding a lit stick, it can be shot to explode it right away, instantly killing the carrier or shot while in mid-air. The player can also force the Ganado down with a strong firearm and wait until the dynamite explodes in their hand after a set amount of time. If a Ganado grabs the player while holding a live stick, failure to escape from his grasp will result in instant death for the player (the Ganado explodes with Leon, leaving no body). Cultists with dynamite act similar to villagers with dynamite. They can throw only one stick at a time, it can explode in their hands, and they can always take out a new stick. |

Ganado (ガナード ganādo) is the term given to a human victim of the Recessive Plaga Species genetically-engineered by Los Iluminados. The word is derived from the Spanish word "ganado", which means "livestock" in general, but can refer to bovines in particular.
