Resident Evil: The Good, The Bad, The Camp

12. Lickers

20.03.2013licker 3 Can you remember back in time to a place where you were sitting playing Resident Evil 2 and the chill you felt watching that strange creature crawl across the window before you enter into the first corridor? And then there was a headless policeman round the corner, whose head had been twisted off. You proceed cautiously ahead to a pool of blood. And cut to a scene of an extremely scary looking beast on the ceiling with a giant piercing tongue that might cut you in two. Lickers are probably humans mutated from the T-Virus. They wear their brains on the outside of their heads and you can see their obscenely glistening muscles. Easier to kill than Hunters - they are nevertheless much more scary due to their tongues, inside out anatomy and ability to leap giant distances to thrash you to bits with their claws. I think machine gun is the best way to dispatch of Lickers, especially the horrible deluxe version Lickers. I hate those guys, they can jump about 20 feet.
