Lurking Licker
Top 10 Unforgettable Resident Evil 2 Moments to Celebrate Its 20th Anniversary
So after braving through the infested streets of Raccoon City, you are finally given a few moments of peace and quiet in the police precinct. What safer place is there in any city than the station, right? Turns out there are a handful of tenacious enemies lurking in the shadows, waiting for their next prey.
If there’s anything worse than a rotting corpse, it’s a skinned, animalistic creature with brains for a head. From its razor sharp tongue alone, you can tell that the Licker is no ordinary monster. Players are left frantic during their first encounter with one as they are only armed with a measly handgun. The first thing that sinks in is running for your life since being in a room with three zombies feels much more manageable than having to kill a single Licker.
What’s more, these nasty critters are also notorious for busting through windows and catching players completely off guard. Lickers act as pretty good mini bosses during the first chunk of the game, but the hunter becomes the hunted when you find better guns.
