S.T.A.R.S. Special Tactics And Rescue Service (p.082-089)
S.T.A.R.S. is a unit belonging to the Raccoon Police Department that mobilizes for the purpose of rescue and strategies against special crimes. S.T.A.R.S. was established within the Raccoon Police Department in 1996. It was to combat new and increasingly diversified crimes at the time such as terrorist acts utilizing bio-chemical weapons, hackers and new types of drugs.
At the center of the local private companies who provided investment as part of the city's urban planning was Umbrella, which has a large factory group in Raccoon. Therefore, S.T.A.R.S. was launched as an elite group with advanced facilities, an extensive intelligence network and exemplary human resources.

Hobby: Appreciating music (mainly rock)
Member of S.T.A.R.S. Alpha Team. Responsible for helicopter operation.
With his exemplary piloting skills he had a prospective future as an Air Force pilot, but was discharged due to trouble between him and his superiors. Afterwards, he joined S.T.A.R.S. at Barry's invitation. After that he successfully carried out numerous ops in partnership with Barry, but also had to leave many written apologies. He has superb observation and insight, and his marksmanship skills are first-rate among the team. However the man's flaw was sometimes exhibiting lazy habits.

Member of S.T.A.R.S. Alpha Team.
She's dexterous and demonstrates great skill in handling explosives. While explosives disposal is her specialty, she also contributes to the team with her strange "lockpicking" ability, which nobody knows where she learned from. She has explained that her motivation for enlisting was because she "cannot abide evil that threatens the lives of citizens", but it seems her true intention's she also "wants to have experiences that make her feel alive."

Member of S.T.A.R.S. Alpha Team.
A veteran of 16 years, in charge of maintaining and restocking firearms. He has a particularly noteworthy abundance of knowledge related to firearms. He's a kind man who loves his family and carries a photo of his wife and two daughters with him at all times, but since he has a powerful sense of justice, he's also a hothead whose conduct's unstoppable. A taciturn guy, he occasionally makes jokes that aren't very funny, but they play a role in helping to relieve tension among the S.T.A.R.S. members.

Member of S.T.A.R.S. Bravo Team. In charge of medical.
A girl who passed the S.T.A.R.S. exam at just 18-years-old and joined this year. With the brain of a genius, she repeated accelerated classes at school and graduated from university at this age. Her extraordinary chemical knowledge in particular was deemed essential for the unit and tied to her enlistment. That's the sort of girl she is, but now she's an ordinary rookie nervous with tension and expectation. This time she was dispatched in high spirits about being involved in her first mission, but...

S.T.A.R.S. Captain and Alpha Team leader.
An elitist among elites who, as a biotechnology specialist, joined the giant pharmaceutical company Umbrella after working as an army technical officer and researcher at the T Institute of Technology. A few years ago, when the issue of S.T.A.R.S.' dissolution arose from their funding circumstances, he was dispatched from Umbrella Corp. as Captain and managed to raise the funds without any trouble. The members place firm trust in Wesker, who's moderate and fair in peacetime and able to make calm, precise decisions in emergencies.

Member of S.T.A.R.S. Alpha Team. In charge of information processing.
A man who's unusually timid among the S.T.A.R.S. members and received the disgraceful nickname "Chicken Heart." On this occasion, a pack of monsters attacked but he fled the scene with the helicopter, leaving his comrades behind even though he should've been holding in the sky. While tormented by a crisis of conscience, he searches the area with clumsy flying. The key to escaping the mansion's being able to contact him.

Member of S.T.A.R.S. Bravo Team.
Specializes in defense and countermeasures against chemical weapons. He went to Raccoon Forest where bizarre murders frequently occurred, but the team disappeared. It seems he was attacked by Cerberus like Alpha Team and had fled into the mansion a little earlier, but was attacked by a Zombie soon after Chris and the others arrived at the mansion. By the time he was discovered, he had become prey to a Zombie and met his end.

Member of S.T.A.R.S. Bravo Team. In charge of communications. He entered Raccoon Forest as the advance unit but was attacked by a large pack of Cerberus and gave up investigating. He escaped into the mansion with his teammates but was bitten by the giant snake Yawn and weakened to the point he could barely speak. Serum can be obtained to deal with the giant snake's venom, but...

Hobby: Dance
Member of S.T.A.R.S. Bravo Team. Helicopter pilot. A giant in S.T.A.R.S. The wreckage of the helicopter was discovered by Alpha Team and his miserable corpse, which had been rendered nothing but a wrist, was found near the helicopter. He appears to have been attacked by Cerberus like the other members of the team. It seems somewhat pitiful to end with the appearance of merely a wrist.

MONSTERS
B.H.W. (BIO HAZARD WEAPON) is the general term for these monsters.

Zombie (p.090)
The end result of researchers who were affected by a variant virus that leaked into the mansion due to an accident. As a result of the virus, necrosis of the cerebral neocortex rendered them brain-dead and they became creatures that live only for simple survival activities. Abnormal secretion of growth hormone causes the body to grow larger, but metabolic capacity has significantly declined, so they look like decomposing corpses. They're driven merely by intense hunger but there are slightly remaining habits from their lifetimes, like opening and closing doors, so one cannot be careless.

Cerberus (p.091)
A monster created by rewriting the DNA of a dog with a virus. It looks like a slightly larger dog but the virus has dramatically enhanced its muscular strength and combative instinct. Tactical use is also possible by applying the dog's inherent social characteristics, and this could be said to be the most successful example out of the monster experiments. Clones were mass-produced but escaped from the facility following the accident and became wild.

Crow
A crow that became violent under the influence of the virus while pecking the flesh of monsters such as Zombies. Thus, this crow's not a B.H.W. created experimentally. They always act in groups.

Monster Plant (p.092)
The Monster Plant lives on the first floor of the mansion. The plant has been affected due to the influence of a variant virus. It's the same type of virus that affected the human Zombies. Just as the Zombies have grown larger, the foliage of the plant has grown larger due to the virus' effects, and its aggressiveness against foreign enemies has increased significantly. It's a monster that was created accidentally as a result of an accident in the building.

Yawn
An experimental organism created through genetic manipulation of a reptile affected by a virus that began to leak in an accident, becoming enormous.

Adder (p.093)
Cerberus, which had been undergoing collective pack tests, escaped after the accident and began roaming inside and outside the facility in search of food. Some snakes died because they couldn't withstand the competition for survival, but those snakes that had eaten the carcasses of Cerberus were infected by the virus and became ferocious. They attack in groups, but their HP's around 50. It varies randomly.

Web Spinner
At the beginning of the research, experiments using spiders and insects were actively being conducted in the laboratory because of the ease of genetically manipulating them. Spiders that were able to withstand the rewriting of DNA grew boundlessly huge, like these Web Spinners, but they had no anticipated practicality as weapons and the research was terminated. However, the "Clay Virus" which later made a leap in the research results was discovered from this monster. HP's around 100. Varies randomly.

Baby Spider (p.094)
Small spiders in the wombs of Web Spinners and the Black Tiger. They emerge after the mother's death when the womb's struck and ruptured.
Although it's a small spider, it's venomous enough to affect the human body and cannot be underestimated. They emerge in large quantities every time, but because of its small size, regular attacks are ineffective.

Wasp
Creating a single monster can indirectly affect all flora and fauna associated with it, turning them into monsters. This wasp's a bee that fed on the pollen of the monster plant Plant 42 and was indirectly infected by the virus, becoming huge and violent. They have a habit of attacking targets as a group. HP's around 50. Varies randomly.

Neptune (p.095)
A monster shark strengthened by the virus. The virus used was the Clay Virus, like the other monsters, but it failed to display immediate effects on sharks and turned out it couldn't be expected to significantly enhance survival functions. The experiment was abandoned halfway through and only a small number of animals were left for observation purposes. Appears in the "large aquarium" under the dormitory.

Plant 42
A foliage plant that was injected with the virus and became huge. This type of plant was found to be particularly affected, but grew uncontrollably within a few days.

Hunter (p.096)
A human-based monster created with an improved Clay Virus strain. It was named "Hunter" because it displayed remarkable teamwork in a group when attacking. Its intelligence is inferior to humans but by incorporating the DNA of other organisms, its body has reached a level of perfection. A small number of clones were mass-produced prior to the accident.

Black Tiger
An abandoned Web Spinner survived underground and continued growing. It suddenly appeared in the underground passages and attacked researchers in a series of incidents. Afterwards they became afraid and referred to it as the Black Tiger. Since it grew from a Web Spinner, its basic behavioral patterns aren't significantly different from a Web Spinner. However due to the increase in body length and size, its HP has doubled to 204 at MAX.

Chimera (p.097)
A monster born from an experiment where the genetic structure of an insect was copied into an artificially inseminated human egg and grown in a human womb. It's characterized by significant combat capabilities but extremely low intelligence.

Tyrant
A monster the researchers poured their hearts and souls into to develop using an improved Clay Virus strain, just before the accident. The powerful virus often killed test subjects but they began an insane project to use fully grown adult humans as test subjects. The project came to a standstill due to a laboratory accident but the Tyrant simply remained, living inside a test tube.
