Glimmer
Biological information
Based:	Hunter
Development information
Date of creation:	2002
Created via:	Further gene manipulation on a Hunter
Purpose:	Random mutation

An unintentional Hunter-variant, the Glimmer preferred dark places, where it was invisible to its prey in all but its glowing red eyes. It moves extremely fast, making it very difficult to shoot.

Encounter

Bruce McGivern encountered numerous Glimmers in the partially-submerged sections of the Umbrella Atlantic Facility. Glimmers tended to hunt in pairs, with one trying to get the prey's attention, thus allowing the other to attack without prior notice. Due to their small size and lack of claws, Glimmers had a tactic that is different from their cousins: they jumped at the prey and vomit in its face. It is not exactly known why they used this tactic, though a poison may be involved, or they may simply be violently bulimic.

Tactics

Trying to kill a Glimmer will usually waste a lot of ammo, so the best tactic is to keep running and avoid it.
