The Hunters are recurring enemies throughout the series and sub-species of Hunter are introduced in later games. According to a file in Resident Evil: Survivor, hunters prefer to hunt in packs. They are introduced in the original Resident Evil as replacement enemies for the zombies when the player revisits the mansion during the later part of the game. The Hunters are established in the games as a breed of artificially-created half-human/half-reptilian creatures with sharp claws created by the Umbrella Corporation. The Hunter is one of the first original monster designs in the series. They have appeared since the first Resident Evil as the series' common enemy character. As with most popular depictions of zombies, they are re-animated corpses with rotting flesh who bite and infect humans. The zombies featured in the Resident Evil series are human victims that have succumbed to the T-virus. 10 Merchandising outside of the video games.
