Bui Kichwa is the adult form that submissive Type 2 Plaga parasites generally mutate towards. As the Swahili name suggests, they can be referred to as "spider-like" thus effectively analogous to Spanish strain's Araña. When the parasite finds it necessary, it may erupt from its host's body and roam around independently.

Gameplay[]

Attacks[]

RE5 Enemy Bui Kichwa

A Bui Kichwa attack.

They have just one single attack which involves them leaping onto the victim and wrapping their legs around them, draining their health. Surprisingly, this doesn't cause very much damage, especially if the player is wearing a melee vest. The real danger from Bui Kichwa is that while one is latched onto a character, they become completely defenseless and move very slowly, putting them in great danger from other enemies. In addition, there is no button combo that can remove a Bui Kichwa from the character, the only ways to get one off are to wait until it lets go by itself or to have your partner slash it with a knife.

Strategies[]

They are best dealt with by using Flash Grenades as they are almost always killed immediately, disposing of them in this matter will also get you the achievement/trophy "Go into the Light".

When one is rearing, and about to attack, and it isn't possible to shoot it (maybe needing to reload), a simple strafe will make sure the Bui Kichwa miss completely, it does not compensate for your movement at all when it is about to lunge.

Further Notes[]

Bui Kichwa bursting out of body

Bui Kichwa were originally supposed to burst out of a Majini's body in a different way.
