The Crimson Head Prototype 1 (クリムゾンヘッド・プロト1 kurimuzon-heddo puroto-ichi?) was a Crimson Head zombie that was sealed in a coffin beneath the Spencer Mansion's cemetery.[1]

History[]

What Prototype 1's name once was is a mystery. However, it is known he was an Umbrella USA employee, who was exposed to the ε strain during a lab accident in May 1998. As little research had been undertaken on human exposure to the strain, he was kept for further study. Soon, he was found to be too dangerous after four workers were killed when an attempt to feed it went wrong. Dr. John Clemens, the lab's chief, ordered Prototype 1 be placed in storage. He was placed inside a coffin in the Spencer Mansion's cemetery and became part of the facility's convoluted anti-intruder defenses, wherein to gain unauthorized access to the courtyard an intruder was to free him. Prototype 1 was finally freed on the night of 24 July 1998, by either Chris Redfield or Jill Valentine, who succeeded in killing him.[2][3]

Prototype 1 has an HP value of 2300–5600.[3] This is in comparison to Chris' and Jill's 1400 and 960, respectively.

The most efficient weapons the player would normally poses at this point in the game are the Shotgun for Chris and the Assault Shotgun for Jill. However, this efficiency only exists if the player is directly next to Prototype 1, which is capable of swerving and attacking the player if they attempt to go behind. Chris can instead use the Flash Grenade if Prototype 1 attempts to bite him.
