Biotyrant
“Tyrant T-00″ 3D model © Capcom, accessed at the Resident Evil Wiki here
[Commissioned by @arachcobra as the last of their Resident Evil monsters. Like with the hunter, there are lots of variations of the tyrant that appear in the series. I went with not the first version, but the most iconic, Mr. X from Resident Evil 2. Like, I haven’t played a Resident Evil game, but I know what this character’s deal is. Chase the player character down like the Terminator, keeping them moving through the game and from getting too comfortable/complacent.]
Biotyrant CR 10 LE Monstrous Humanoid If not for its dead gray skin and great height—half again as tall as the average person—this creature could be mistaken for a human. It wears a heavy coat, partially to disguise its warped musculature and partly for protection.
The biotyrant is the culmination of mixing fleshwarping and necromancy; some infected undead and other such horrors are the failures and prototypes leading to the biotyrant. Biotyrants are powerful, unquestioning and durable super soldiers, and a single biotyrant on the battlefield is the equivalent of an entire troop of mercenaries. They lack creativity and mental initiative, but pursue their orders until destruction.
A biotyrant attacks in melee with its powerful body—its fists, knees and feet can punch holes in stone walls given enough time. If a biotyrant must clear an obstacle rather than batter through it, they can leap high into the air and land precisely where they choose, but must rest between such jumps and do not use them for rapid pursuit. They ignore small blows and can recover from large ones—fire or positive energy are needed to permanently damage a biotyrant. Although they look mostly human when uninjured, if they are injured, their bodies transform into an even more powerful form. This form has distorted claws growing from its hands, and its heart swells to pump more blood faster. This swelling makes them slightly more vulnerable to damage, and may be the key to their defeat if an enemy can remain at a safe range.
A biotyrant can speak and understand Common, but only speak when commanded to. They tend to wear heavy leather dusters and large hats to conceal their monstrous appearances from a distance. They do not carry other treasure unless they are on a mission to retrieve or deliver such an object.
