Ticks were an insectoid Bio Organic Weapon developed by the Umbrella Corporation.
History
Ticks was developed at the Arklay Laboratory in the 1990s, and appears to have been an insectoid offshoot of the Hunter project.
Biology
Ticks were designed as bipedal B.O.W.s in a similar style to the Hunter α line. Aside from its brown skin and antennas, the primary difference between Ticks and the Hunter is the possession of sickle-like arms, which were designed for cutting people to pieces in the dark.[1][excerpt 1]
Gameplay
Health
Ticks' HP ranges between 79-111 points, equal to that of the Hunters.[1]

"中庭地下に出現する昆虫型モンスター。 暗闇から突然標的に飛びかかり、 両手の鎌で哀れな犠牲者を切り刻む。 コードネームの”ティックス”とは、 ダニを意味する”Tick”から来ているものと思われる。
こいつの動きにパターンは、 まさにハンターそのまま。 体力が減ると即死効果のある首刈り攻撃を仕掛けてくるところも、 憎いくらいに同じである。 ただ、 弱点・攻略法もハンターと同様になるため、 館でハンター退治の経験を積んでいれば恐れることはないだろう。 特に、 この時点で確実にコルトパイソンを入手できているはずなので、 マグナム（またはグレネードガン）発で片づくティックスはただのザコと化す。"
