When players were first introduced to Lickers in Resident Evil 2, they resembled more of a skinless Hunter from the first game than anything else. Then, when Resident Evil got its first remake on the GameCube, there were Crimson Heads.

These snarling, long-clawed, evolved zombies led gaming theorists to speculate Lickers were the evolved version of those. Well, whilst the viruses that created both are separate, the formulas would undoubtedly share similarities.
