Lickers are the result of a further mutation experienced by zombies as part of the same V-ACT process that transforms them into a crimson head. First encountered during the Raccoon City Incident, they were named nick-named "Licker" by the surviving officers of the Raccoon City Police Department due to their notoriously large tongues which they used to hunt down their prey.

Notable Attacks and Techniques:

•Tongue Attack: A licker is capable of using it's elongated tongue as a weapon with extremely dexterity and precision, it has enough force to twist a person's head off and pierce them as if it were a thrown lance, it can also be used as a whip with enough power to knock back multiple people at once.

•Claw Attack: Often coupled with their ability to leap large distances, Lickers use their enormous claws to slash at their targets and tear them to pieces.
