Item #: SCP-5078

Object Class: Keter

Special containment procedures : it must be kept and locked in a strong flex metal containment chamber at all times

Derscrition : Nemesis-T Type (ネメシス-Ｔ型, nemeshishu-tī-gata?) was a series of experimental Bio Organic Weapons. Created by Umbrella Europe's No. 6 Laboratory, the Nemesis-T Types were the culmination of the Nemesis Project with the successful implantation of NE-α parasites within T-103 hosts, presenting Umbrella with a highly intelligent and powerful creature. Several Nemesis-T Types were produced, though only one is known to have experienced combat. The resulting creature was called Nemesis for short, and the one sent in Raccoon City was nicknamed the "Pursuer (追跡者, tuisekisha?)". In the remake, it was simply referred to as Nemesis.

At the point of the first contact, the Nemesis is like an enhanced Tyrant, at an intimidating height of over 8.7 feet tall. The first form of the Nemesis is also extremely fast, able to catch up to the target in seconds by taking a few large strides or a single bound. It has the ability to even dodge gunfire and explosives by either strafing or even catching them with one of its tentacles. The creature has great-superhuman strength, being able to toss cars and large pieces of debris aside like they were nothing and breaking open the big metal container with its own hands. The Nemesis’ “coat” is made of an unknown bulletproof, glossy material which covers its full body. This functions as a restraining gear to stop the NE-α parasite from going rogue while in the field. Beyond this restrictive gear, the NE-α parasite is regulated by a metal chest piece that is fitted on the host, specifically shaped like a heart on the left side of the monster’s chest. The Nemesis can sprout tentacles from its body and use them to attack the target by either whipping, piercing or grabbing them. It can also use its tentacles to not only “infect” zombies with its own parasite, creating “super” zombies but it can utilize them to traverse the environment with great speed, explaining why the Nemesis can be at one point and then another in such a short space of time.

Origins

Umbrella Pharmaceuticals ultimate goal was the creation of Bio Organic Weaponry to sell to the US Army and, through accumulated revenue, fund its own eugenics program. A major flaw found during the t-Virus Project was that sub-par intelligence was an almost unavoidable side-effect and, as a result, R&D projects typically ruled against the practicality of uncontrollable B.O.W.s on the battlefield.[2][3][excerpt 1] Though the Hunter Project was promising, the clone species' intelligence still limited them to knowing thirty commands. To become truly military-grade, Umbrella needed to develop B.O.W.s with near or like human intelligence.

By 1988 Umbrella USA and Umbrella Europe were competing to do just this. Umbrella USA's Arklay Laboratory set up the Tyrant Project, which aimed to create human mutants without loss of intelligence. Umbrella Europe's No.6 Laboratory, meanwhile, began the Nemesis Project, which aimed to create parasitic organisms that would take over brain functions in a B.O.W. host. Both projects reached impasses which would not be resolved for years to come, with the Tyrant Project lacking results for ten years until the completion of T-002, and the Nemesis Project finding no hosts which could survive the procedure.[2]
