The Suspended was a zombie encountered by a group of outbreak survivors in the Apple Inn hotel. It is somehow related to the Licker.[1]
Biology
Suspended remains humanoid in appearance and possesses many traits not common to lickers, such as eyes and a lack of exposed brain tissue. Suspended "suspends" itself from ceilings by its hind feet (now more hand-like), lashing out at potential victims with its claws and elongated tongue. Suspended seems to have its intestines hanging out. It is unknown if this is the result of a zombie attack prior to its death as a human, or just a sign of decay. Unlike the lickers, Suspended uses its tongue as a whip instead of a spear, strangling or lashing its victims to death. Throughout the entire period of the outbreak, only one was ever reported, in the lobby of the Apple Inn during the evacuation of the underpass region.
Gameplay
Moveset
The following Moveset chart is based on information provided by BradyGames' Resident Evil Outbreak Official Strategy Guide, page 112.
| Attack | EASY | NORMAL | HARD | VERY HARD |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tongue Attack | 100-180 | 200-340 | 300-400 | 400-600 |
| 100-Lashes Tongue 1 | 20-35 | 45-60 | 50-65 | 55-70 |
| 100-Lashes Tongue 2 | 150-180 | 160-240 | 260-320 | 300-380 |
Strategy
- On the Hard and Very Hard modes, as soon as the player rings the bell, lickers will go below the Suspended as if they want to protect it.
- It is one of the weakest enemies in the whole series (having 1800HP-3000HP depending on the difficulty). On EASY mode, three hits from the shotgun will kill it. The Suspended can also be neutralized with 2-5 grenade hits, and is extremely weak against the Spear.
- Mark type characters can block its lash attacks, even the retaliatory one it does after taking damage. Instead of knocking them down, the last hit will simply push them back a couple of feet.
Further notes
- Some of George's lines during the fight imply that he knew who the Suspended mutated from.
- Despite not making an appearance, Suspended's model is in Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles data. This is because the Outbreak series assets were used heavily for making sections of Raccoon City.
