For the ordinary Licker, see Licker.


The Evolved Licker (リッカー改 rikkā aratame?) was a variation of Licker developed in Umbrella's Underground Laboratory situated beneath Umbrella's Chemical Plant outside of Raccoon City. The exact factors that led to their creation are unknown.[1][2]

Biology[]

Creation[]

Further information: Zombie

Lickers are former human zombies that consumed a large quantity of flesh, allowing them to gain the necessary energy to fuel accelerated cellular growth.[3]

Diferences with the ordinary Licker[]

Notable differences from standard Lickers include their grayish - green skin instead of the pale-red skinless bodies of their predecessors, thinner but stronger tongue and long singular scythe-like claws on each forelimb instead of talons. The Modified Lickers are somewhat more resilient to gunfire than their standard variant, though their brain tissue is still exposed and remains a serious weakness.
