I think Hunters were specially brewed to be like they are, it wasn't a first time reaction to the frogs or whatever.
I would love to see more stuff like that in RE, zombie dogs only go so far.
Definitely not as in Zero we have Lurkers.
As said, I'm sure they were meddled with and then manufactured, not just T-Virus + Frog = Hunters.
Wesker was in a high position in Umbrella's rival company at the time. He secured a position with TRICELL in 2003 in the event the rival company betrayed him, which they do in BIO4. He succeeds regardless and assumes complete control of the company, but runs it into the ground within two years by using up its resources searching for Spencer.
The Albinoid is a great B.O.W. It is used to cripple the enemy's water supply with electricity. Umbrella manufactured a B.O.W. to cover any possible ground.
The game explains that Gnzedo and Lepotica are based on C-Virus strains that were by-products of Project Ada, so they actually contain some of Ada Wong's DNA. Hence the female figures.
People sometimes forget that mutations are quite random. It took decades of development to get the t-Virus to produce "common" results. The C-Virus mutations can be influenced by using the virus as a retroviral vector, incorporating animal genes into the virus and then injecting it into a human who, after undergoing the Chrysalis stage, will be reborn with the characteristics of the animal genes you incorporated, and so on. This is the same reason G-Birkin and G-Curtis mutate completely differently, or why Nosferatu, Alexia and Monster Steve look nothing alike.
Nautilus is also a random mutation. It was deemed a failure because... well, the reasons you said.
Sounds like Wesker is quite the businessman.
I feel like they could of gotten similar results without a B.O.W., like poison or something, but hey, who am I to judge?
I knew that for the Lepotica, but not the Gnzedo. Interesting. I also like to imagine Simmons kept a locket of Ada's hair.
That's fair, and it is true C-Virus is kind of instantaneous results.
Nautilus is terrifying and yet fascinating.
The Nautilus's sperm babies look like nemesis.
You know, they kind of do. XD;
By the way, I can't be the only one who loved HAOS' design, right?
Just look at this hideous mofo.
You're not alone, I loved Haos design-wise, thought it looked legitimately creepy and one of the creepier monsters to come out of RE recently.

There's a few through the series, but I'd like to see more, I will say. Hunter and Tyrant come to mind.
With regards to the C-virus, I always assumed there were different strains, each mixed with different animal DNA, etc., to create different results. So it's not a random virus being random. The C-Virus is the base, but is modified in various ways to create the different BOWs, transformations, etc.
That's correct and News Bot affirms this, but I still think it's the least consistent virus in the game, and obviously something of an excuse for the developers to go crazy and make whatever monsters they wanted, and then weird things, like was Simmons injected with T-Rex, House Fly, Centaur-Scorpion DNA, and dog DNA, all at once? I think the C-Virus tested the believable results these types of viruses can have a bit to the farthest extents, but I don't view it as a con, more of a funny thing, as it does lead to something I love in the RE series, enemy variety.
I think that's a major unsung elements for RE compared to other action games these days, the enemies are actually interesting and varied, and not all just run-of-the-mill soldiers you shoot back at.
