The G Virus (Gene Virus) displayed notable differences from the T-Virus. It allowed those infected to rapidly mutate, causing them to evolve to forms that would not be possible under regular circumstances. Later becoming impenetrable blobs. The
G Virus was created by Umbrella as another biological weapon. It can only be passed by injection or if one becomes implanted by an embryo created by the host creature and transferred through physical contact. However, for the embryo to properly thrive, it requires the target to have the same DNA has the host victim, making it difficult to transfer itself. The virus greatly increases the carrier's metabolism, accelerating cell duplication and revitalization of dead cells at the cost of higher brain function by continual destruction of mitochondria in neurons, causing the infected person to degrade to sub-human levels. The carrier exhibits animalistic behavior, loss of moral reasoning and becomes driven by self-preservation.
