Tyrant 091 (Resident Evil: Dead Aim)
A Tyrant variant that appeared in Capcom's 2003 Resident Evil: Dead Aim (original Japanese title: Biohazard Gun Survivor 4: Heroes Never Die) Sony Playstation 2 video game. This prototype B.O.W. (Bio Organic Weapon) was created by infecting a human host with the tG-virus (a hybrid of the t-virus and G-virus from previous Resident Evil installments.) However, the resulting T-091 was considered a failure, because it did not exhibit the ability to generate bio-electromagnetic energy, which was the primary goal of the experiment. It also suffers from an exposed heart, a flaw common to many Tyrant variations, although, in this case, the organ protrudes from the creature's back, rather than the chest. These two shortcomings were ultimately corrected in the improved T-092 model (Morpheus D. Duvall). While it may not have lived up to the expectations of the scientists that created it, the T-091 is still an extremely dangerous adversary. Like most Tyrants, it possesses superhuman strength, speed, stamina, and resistance to injury; the B.O.W. can easily survive physical trauma that would kill a normal human being a dozen times over. A mutation unique to this specimen are its fingers, which, instead of becoming claws, have elongated into prehensile tentacles. The T-091 utilizes these appendages as its primary means of attack, whipping, constricting, and strangling its prey with the tendrils. Materials: Newsprint, tissue paper, white glue, acrylic paint, ink, gloss nail polish, super glue, and plastic. Dimensions: 11.0 cm / 4.3 in. x 4.1 cm / 1.6 in. (widest point x highest point) Time: Two days: October 25 and 27, 2012. The figure was modeled on the twenty-fifth, and I made some minor modifications before painting it on the twenty-seventh.
