Tyrant T-001 (also referred to as the Proto-Tyrant), an experimental subject, served as the prototype for the later Tyrants. While the T-001 was scheduled to be destroyed, it was released during the Arklay Mountains Outbreak when the Raccoon City Underground Research Facility became infested. Shortly thereafter it met S.T.A.R.S. officer Rebecca Chambers during the events of July 24th in the B4F Turntable Room, and while classified as a failure, it was nonetheless a powerful opponent. After Rebecca left, the Tyrant quickly regenerated and broke through the emergency shutter. The Tyrant confronts Rebecca and Billy again in another area a short time later. They managed to fight off the beast and kill it again.
However, its "t" regenerative capabilities were underestimated by both Rebecca and Umbrella, and it managed to reach the Marshaling Yard above the underground Laboratory via the train elevator during a fight with Albert Wesker, shortly after Rebecca abandoned it. Its regenerative capabilities also helped it recover and it attacked Wesker again, before being killed for good.
Unlike its successors, the T-001's spinal column was exposed due to the failed surgery, leaving it extremely vulnerable to small-arms fire from behind. Furthermore, its nervous system was far more primitive than its successors, leading to the T-001s' primitive behavior, lack of coordination, and random twitching.
[edit] Trivia
- Since its appearance in Umbrella Chronicles, exactly who killed this beast is up for debate. After Rebecca defeated the creature behind the shutter in the B4F Turntable room, it broke a hole in the shutter, seemingly escaping up the Turntable. Wesker claimed to have killed the creature at after fighting it up the turntable lift, though its second attack on Billy and Rebecca lead to confusion.This subject appears to have Dextrocardia- a trait in which the Heart is on the oposite side of the body- though it is not known if this was a trait from the original host, or became that way during development into a B.O.W.
