Evil Tyrant, a resident

The Evil Tyrant Resident. Three words that make many people shudder in terror because the horrifying monster from Capcom's well-known survival horror series is a vicious murdering machine. It's not a one-and-done encounter, as you would anticipate with a nemesis like this, as the younger Redfield sibling must also battle with this frightening bioweapon in addition to Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine.

See our guides for Resident Evil Chris, Resident Evil Jill, and Resident Evil Claire to find out more about those three. Alternatively, you may read our Resident Evil Licker, Resident Evil Nemesis, Resident Evil Lady Dimitrescu, and Resident Evil Albert Wesker material if you'd rather be aware of the foes in this zombtastic universe.

Anyhow, this is all the information you want for the Resident Evil Tyrant.

What is the Tyrant in Resident Evil?

The Tyrant is well known to fans of horror games. Fear has been associated with it since 1996. That is a terrifying 28 years. You may think twice before entering the notorious Spencer Mansion if you were aware of this monster beforehand. The fact that this opponent appears as a boss in several Resident Evil games should be enough to warn you of the seriousness of encountering one.

In actuality, Mr. X from Resident Evil 2 is a Tyrant, and anybody brave enough to enter the RCPD knows full well that danger awaits because of the massive bioweapon. He is very hazardous, as both Leon and Claire can verify, particularly because Leon has to deal with Mr. X the whole time, all the way up to the underground Umbrella facility.

While it's evident that Mr. X is by far the most evolved Tyrant, it doesn't lessen the threat posed by the other versions of the creature.

How does Tyrant appear in Resident Evil?

The Tyrant is a massive humanoid monster that has undergone mutations. These include the development of frightening claws on its arms, which go hand in hand with its overwhelming strength and ability to repair itself.

Oh, and if we focus on Mr. X in particular, the massive beast has a trench coat and a cap on, but he also undergoes a mutation in the latter parts of Resident Evil 2. As the last boss Leon has to confront in the game, Mr. X likewise lacks self-control. He chases Claire throughout the police station and even goes so far as to follow him into the sewer and beyond.
