B.O.W.

Bio-organic weapons, also known as B.O.W.s, is a breed of fictional creature featured in the Resident Evil multimedia franchise. Basically, they represent every disgusting mutoid critter that looks like somebody blew an ocean of snot into an ass and then turned it inside out and gave it teeth. There are many different types of B.O.W.s, several of which were featured in the original Resident Evil video game by Capcom in 1996. The most well known representatives of this form of creature are the lickers, the cerberuses, and the Tyrant series of butterface mega-soldiers.

These monsters are the creation of the Umbrella Corporation, who spent years trying to develop advanced militaristic alternatives utilizing their bio-weapons division. The first evidence of their existence came in July, 1998, when an Umbrella agent named Albert Wesker, who was also a captain in the Special Tactics and Rescue Service (S.T.A.R.S.) division of the Raccoon City Police Department lured two squads into the Arklay Mountains near the old Spencer Mansion.

The first unit to arrive, the S.T.A.R.S. Bravo team crashed in the mountains and most of the crew were ravaged by the undead Cerberus canines. Those that survived, managed to make it inside Spencer Mansion, but were subsequently killed off by other monstrosities. Due to the release of a chemical agent known as the T-Virus, a new threat arose in the form of zombies. The S.T.A.R.S. Alpha team, led by Wesker himself, followed Bravo team's trail and Wesker trapped them inside the mansion, where they had to fight up against the Cerberuses, a T-001 Tyrant, and a giant mutant snake that was named Yawn.
