You Won’t Believe These Resident Evil Monsters Actually Speak—and What They Say Will Haunt You!

by

Summary

  • Hearing monsters speak adds eerie depth, implying a struggle to retain humanity during mutation.
  • Mutated enemies from Resident Evil, like Moreau and Lisa, express emotions through speech.
  • Wesker, Nemesis, and others maintain their ability to speak even after drastic mutations occur.

In Resident Evil games, it’s unsettling enough that monsters have terrifying appearances, but when they manage to speak a few words even after undergoing drastic transformations, it adds an extra layer of eeriness. This suggests that these creatures, despite their minds and bodies being radically altered, are somehow holding onto their humanity. Over the years, this has led to numerous chilling moments in the iconic survival horror series.

Transformed creatures, once human but altered by an illness or contagion, may at times be able to eke out a few words if they hold onto a piece of their original identity during metamorphosis. Conversely, there are terrifying adversaries that, although man-made, have the capacity to mutter ominous remarks as they pursue the main character.

8. Salvatore Moreau

Moreau Can Usually Be Found Mumbling About His Obsession With Mother Miranda

In the game Resident Evil Village, each of Mother Miranda’s four subjects possesses an uncanny individuality. Dimitrescu is a colossal vampire woman, Heisenberg exhibits sorcerous abilities with magnetism, Beneviento orchestrates chilling puppet shows, and Moreau is a menacing fishman with an unusual affinity for his master, Mother Miranda. Contrary to appearances, which might suggest a monstrous entity, Moreau in fact harbors deep emotions and is compelled to seek the approval of his enigmatic mistress, Mother Miranda.

When Ethan accidentally collides with him and takes his flask, Moreau is observable, gazing vacantly at an empty television screen, grumbling about his longing to be noticed and validated by his mutant mother. His despairing outbursts escalate further when he transforms into his massive fish form, bawling out to Miranda as he tramples over Ethan in a desperate attempt to evade the menacing B.O.W.

7. William Birkin

Birkin Holds Onto Just Enough of His Humanity To Express His Fears

In an ironic twist, William Birkin, the creator of the G-Virus, ultimately fell victim to it himself. When faced by Umbrella soldiers, including Hunk, Birkin was on the brink of death until the G-Virus intervened, transforming him into a monstrous being driven by an insatiable desire to destroy everything around him, friend or foe. By the time players meet him, Birkin is in the midst of mutation, which explains his ability to speak occasionally as he struggles against his primitive instincts.

More often than not, Birkin strives to call out the name of his daughter, Sherry, as a possible means to alert her about his infection. This infection seems to be attracted to her since it identifies her as a potential carrier of the G-embryo. During his struggle with Claire and Leon in the early stages of Resident Evil 2 Remake, Birkin appears to exhibit some compassion towards the protagonists, urging them to step aside while he continues his destructive rampage.

6. Lisa Trevor

Despite Being Grossly Mutated, Lisa Is Still Capable Of Very Basic Speech

Lisa Trevor, arguably one of the saddest characters in the series, was a young girl who was forcibly separated from her family and subjected to twisted scientific experiments by Wesker and his team. This cruel treatment altered her appearance drastically, as seen in the first game where she wanders aimlessly in the underground labyrinth, leaving behind scratch marks from her chains.

Although Lisa’s vocalizations are strained, she can still call out for her mother, which is poignant given the extreme changes in her physical form due to mutations. Hearing Lisa cry out for her loved ones tugs at heartstrings, making her a deeply empathetic adversary when considering her background.

5. Steve Burnside (Mutant)

Steve Manages To Warn Claire Before Trying To Kill Her

Throughout much of “Code Veronica”, Steve primarily serves as a typical albeit somewhat whiny sidekick to Claire, offering aid on numerous instances when they both become stranded on Rockfort Island. However, following their accidental crash into an Antarctic Umbrella Facility, Steve mysteriously disappears and later resurfaces as a mutant, instantly becoming aggressive towards Claire upon recognition. It appears that he has lost the ability to recognize the woman with whom he had spent the past few hours journeying together.

Much like Steve pins Claire into a tight spot, he battles the mutation prior to delivering the decisive strike. Notably, most characters in this series become mute upon transformation; thus, Steve’s ability to utter even a solitary word amid such perilous conditions speaks volumes about his deep affection for Claire Redfield.

4. Alcina Dimitrescu

Dimitrescu Gave Ethan A Rare Glimpse At Her Mutant Bat Form Before He Escaped Her Castle

Intriguingly, it’s worth noting that at some point, Dimitrescu was just an ordinary human being like any other. However, everything shifted dramatically when she encountered Mother Miranda. The encounter led to her being infected by the Cadou parasite, which caused her to grow in size and significantly increase her powers. Despite these transformations, she managed to maintain much of her humanity, a factor that proves beneficial given her fondness for teasing or belittling anyone who finds themselves within her castle walls.

What stands out, nevertheless, is that Dimitrescu manages to converse even after changing into her colossal bat shape, a form she claims has never been witnessed by anyone outside of Miranda before. This remarkable transformation poses a challenge for Ethan, as he’s compelled to confront it with his meager weapons and supplies, all while Dimitrescu hurls insults at him during the grueling fight.

3. Osmund Saddler (Mutant)

Saddler Preaches His Ideology To Leon One Final Time Before He Bites The Dust

In its original form, Saddler is unsettling enough as a villain, but he becomes truly terrifying when he morphs into the many-legged arachnid that confronts Leon at the end of the game Resident Evil 4. During the remake of this classic game, instead of attacking Leon directly, Saddler opts to deliver a sermon on his faith in the “divine body” before he’s ultimately defeated.

In the climactic showdown with Saddler, it’s a struggle to keep my concentration high, especially when he keeps tossing Leon around like a ragdoll. His ability to communicate during combat adds an unsettling layer to this game’s final boss, painting Saddler as a formidable adversary who seems almost divine in his control over the dominant plaga. He looms large over anyone daring enough to challenge him.

2. Albert Wesker (Uroboros)

Wesker Can Badmouth Chris Even When He’s Being Overtaken By Uroboros

During their adventure in Kijuju, Chris and Sheva come across numerous individuals being enveloped by the lethal Uroboros. However, none of them seem capable of resisting its overwhelming power as it ultimately swallows them whole. For instance, Excella succumbs to the virus, losing all control over her body when it takes hold. In stark contrast, Wesker, with his extraordinary powers, manages to battle against the virus after merging with it towards the end of the game.

Despite the immense power corrupting him, it’s evident that Wesker’s mind is growing increasingly twisted in Resident Evil 5. Yet, amidst this transformation, he occasionally takes the opportunity to deride Chris and discuss his vision for humanity’s future. Capcom cleverly retained Wesker’s characteristic dialogue, given its significant appeal, even as he transformed into a literal monster by the game’s end.

1. Nemesis

With A Single Line, Nemesis Can Send A Chill Down Anyone’s Spine

Without a doubt, the towering figure known as Nemesis, who patrolled the streets of Raccoon City during the zombie epidemic, can only utter one word, but it’s a chilling one that sends shivers down the player’s spine every time he says it. In the game Resident Evil 3, “STARS” is the name of the rescue team Jill belongs to, and it’s also the only word Nemesis will ever say. This monster was specifically created to track down anyone linked with this group in order to prevent anyone from exposing Umbrella.

In a deep, ominous tone, Nemesis’s voice and thunderous footsteps make him one of the most formidable adversaries across the entire Resident Evil series. This line has become a memorable quote in the franchise, and in the remake of the third game, Jill uses it to mock the fierce creature once she gains the advantage – a feat that was far from simple.
