The Evil Licker in Residence

One of the most well-known creatures in Capcom's venerable survival horror series, Resident Evil's Licker has been frightening gamers since it made its debut in Resident Evil 2 in 1998. With a very repulsive look and an equally terrifying demeanour, the Licker moves at a startling pace, making it an intimidating opponent that has the ability to quickly put an end to your struggle for existence. This piece of art is horrible and might appear in your nightmare.

However, our Resident Evil Albert Wesker guide is the only resource you need to learn more about the game's most well-known antagonist; naturally, we also recommend reading our Resident Evil Lady Dimitrescu page to learn more about her wealth and extravagance. Not because you want her to bite or stomp on you.

Well, let's get started with all you need know about Licker from Resident Evil.

What's a Resident Evil Licker, exactly?

Despite the fact that Claire and Leon are the first two protagonists from the series to face this horror, the Licker is an iconic opponent from the Resident Evil franchise. Oh, and in case you were wondering how it acquired its name, it was because of its enormous tongue.

Since lickers are sensitive to sound, you must approach them gently if you want the upper hand. Although it would seem preferable to flee, the lickers will follow you since the commotion draws them. Approach cautiously and be prepared with your strongest weapons in case you are unfortunate enough to encounter the more powerful lickers in later games. Lickers may be fatal to you.

It's important to note that the Licker may ambush you if you use a gun to take out small adversaries like zombies because of their excellent sense of hearing. If you wish to utilise ammunition, I advise you to use a weapon that can strike hard and likely kill them instantly—grenade launchers and shotguns spring to mind—so that you won't be overwhelmed by several Lickers.

What is the appearance of the Resident Evil Licker?

A licker resembles an inside-out person with long tongue, sharp claws, and an oversized brain—yes, it's as scary as it sounds. That's the best way to explain their look. Don't get me wrong, they don't behave like humans at all. Instead, they often move quickly while on all fours.

They are grotesque creatures, merciless robots that will stop at nothing to claim you as their next victim.
