20 Things Only Resident Evil Fans Will Understand

8. Arachnophobia Is Truly Justified

Spider haters will have all of their worst nightmares confirmed in the earlier Resident Evil games: not only is there a huge boss spider in the first Resident Evil, but Resident Evil 2 also has numerous ones in the sewers. And these spiders are pretty swift, and poisonous, meaning a steady supply of blue herbs is always necessary. Resident Evil loves its mutant or giant monstrous animals €“ from moths to sharks to crocodiles, anything goes. Even an everyday crow can wreak havoc.

7. Never Get A Doberman

People love dogs, but even the most ardent dog fan would probably gladly take a cat rather than any of the dogs in the Resident Evil franchise. They all look like deformed and psychotically vicious Dobermans who just hate humans and want to feast on them. They're by no means the worst enemies in the franchise, but they're a force to be reckoned with, and the memory of them lasted a long time after they'd been slain.
