Characteristics
Edit
Due to the flawed processes used in their creation and because of the cut in costs, parts of their anatomy tended to atrophy away within moments of their creation; the atrophied parts were often their left arms. To compensate for this damage, the t-Virus responded by allowing the creatures greater control of their right arms, which were increased in mass to become as thick and resilient as their torsos. The t-Virus also compensated by introducing the Bandersnatch's ability to stretch its arm far beyond normal limits, almost to five meters. As a result, their method of attack is to strike from a distance, and the Bandersnatch often pins its victims against a wall and crushes their skulls. Bandersnatches are a sickly yellow color, intertwined with disgustingly bloated veins and arteries. Their visages, on the other side, had been degraded to little more than melted patches of skin.
Fighting In GameEdit
Bandersnatches are a mid-level enemy and should be engaged with the Handgun or Bowgun at long range, with heavier weaponry being advised at close to medium range. If attempting to kill with a Combat Knife, slashing at their armless side or back is the safest angle to attack from. Weak points to aim for with the knife are the head and legs. Although physically weaker than Hunters, Bandersnatches can stretch their arm to cover the length of most rooms to attack the player at range, causing considerable damage with their strikes and grabs. Also, although slow to walk, these creatures will use their arm to pull themselves across rooms, closing the gap between them and the player with deceptive speed. The elastic, rubbery nature of their bodies allows them to shrug off normal bullets, but makes slashing or piercing weapons like the Combat Knife or Explosive Arrows particularly effective. Bandersnatches are usually encountered alone or in pairs and should always be treated as dangerous. If a player gets their head grabbed by one of them, they must struggle to get free; if not, the creature would break their neck instantly killing the player.
TriviaEdit
- Their names originates from Lewis Carroll's poems The Hunting of the Snark and Jabberwocky, which give no description of the creature.
- The creature's appearance is derived from a zombie in Return of the Living Dead III.
- In Code: Veronica X if a player doesnt struggle when it grabs on Claire's head, it will instantly kill the player by snapping Claire's neck.
- They're the only enemy in Code :Veronica X to execute an instant death attack.
- Their "head grab" attack is used by the J'avo B.O.W's featured in Resident Evil 6.
