B.O.W.
Encyclopedia : B : BO : BOW : B.O.W.
Biological Organic Weapon (also known as Bio-Weapon and Bio-Organic Weapon) three-letter acronym used in Capcom's survival horror video game series Resident Evil. The acronym stands for "Bio-Organic Weapon" and is any creature which is deliberately infected with a mutagenic viral agent such as the T-Virus and G-Virus for the purpose of being turned into a biological weapon. Creatures which undergo secondhand infection and transformation are not officially considered B.O.W.'s

Known B.O.W.s
Resident Evil 0:
- Eliminator-Ape mutated with the Progenitor Virus, adding hearing ability at the cost of impairing the visual skills of the creature. According to Marcus' report on Progenitor Virus-based B.O.W.s, they are the result of the increased fertility experiments on apes. They are exceedingly resilient to damage, and tend to attack in packs. Shotgun blasts are particularly effective against them.
- MA-121 Hunter Alpha
- Lurker- Frog mutated with the Progenitor Virus, exponentially increasing its mass and size, in addition to the enhaced tongue ability. Drawbacks include poor eyesight, even poorer stamina and repeteadly lashing its tongue randomly at all moving things. A knife slash is usually enough to kill them.
- Plague Crawler- Cockroach mutated with the Progenitor Virus, it was expanded by the virus to the extent of measuring roughly five feet in length, and increasing its defensive capabilites by improving the chitinous carapace of the being. Common tactics to be taken include shotgun blasts, which topple them.
