Dying in the "Resident Evil" universe is never pretty — but some fates are far worse than others. Join us as we count down the most gruesome, terrifying, and downright horrifying ways to meet your end across the RE franchise.

Transcript
00:06Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're looking at the most terrible ways you can
00:10shuffle off the mortal coil in the Resident Evil universe.
00:1910. Devoured in a Zombie Breakout
00:29Anyone looking for the Resident Evil experience needs to look no further than this. After all,
00:34this is how the series made its first impact. Of course, it's not exactly the prettiest
00:39way to go out. That's because zombie hordes are less interested
00:41in your dignity and more in making you their meal. If you're lucky, you might just get
00:45turned into one of them and join the same crowd to feast on someone else.
00:55If traditional zombies aren't your speed, you can find yourself surrounded by the Ganado
01:00or Majini. Fair warning, it's even worse than the T-Virus infected bad guys. But if we're
01:04talking the ugliest of fates, it's probably becoming the meal of the skinless nightmare
01:08called The Licker.
01:169. Drowning in Blood
01:27If Grace Ashcroft hadn't been through enough already, she landed in the most bizarre of
01:31dilemmas. Trapped deep in the underground research facility, she's forced to navigate a way out.
01:35You think dealing with a swarm of stasis pod infected is bad? Try doing that when you're
01:40knee-deep in processed blood. Being overwhelmed by a ferocious tide of crimson certainly isn't
01:45anyone's idea of a fun day at the waterpark. And with the whole facility coming down on you
01:49at the same time, it's safe to say it's not a great way to go out.
01:58But with so many illicit activities by Umbrella's Finest, the chances of stumbling into such
02:03a certain doom are surprisingly high.
02:128. Sliced by a Chainsaw-Wielding Enemy
02:21Fans have faced everyone from Nemesis to Lady Dimitrescu, but the one that puts the fear of
02:26God in most is still Dr. Salvador. This chainsaw-wielding maniac inspired several other Resident Evil enemies
02:32down the line. And nothing says run like the sound of a chainsaw revving somewhere near you.
02:43The series holds nothing back when it comes to the visuals. Anyone lucky enough to end
02:47up on the receiving end of this chainsaw meets a gruesomely abrupt fate. Because in this universe,
02:52chainsaws aren't just garden shed tools, they're more likely to, shall we say, take the weight
02:57off your shoulders.
03:027. Torn Apart by Zombie Dogs
03:12Whether Cerberus dogs, T-Virus dogs, the Garmer, or any other canine-based animal, we can all
03:17agree no one wants to become Zombie Dog Chow.
03:20These pups aren't really interested in playing fetch so much as feasting on your bones instead.
03:23One set of teeth tearing into you sounds painful, several infected canines fighting over what's
03:28left, that's a no from us dog.
03:308. Torn Apart by Zombie
03:34Yet, in the Resident Evil universe, that's a death that can very well be written for you.
03:38And just ask Leon if you want to know just how relentless they are toward their target.
03:42So, unless you've got superhuman motorbike skills that put even fast and furious characters
03:47to shame, coming across these dogs pretty much means curtains.

04:116. Transformed Through The Sea Virus
04:25Why settle for dying when you can undergo a horrifying transformation first?
04:29By the time RE6 rolled around, fans thought they'd seen all there was to see.
04:32One look at the sea virus told them just how wrong they were.
04:36Even seasoned veterans of the series had no idea what to make of the nasty chrysalid transformation
04:40as victims are encased in a cocoon before emerging as not-so-pleasant undead.
04:52You know it's bad when you can't figure out where death begins and where it ends.
04:57Fortunately for the characters, its threat didn't last as long as it could have.
05:01Then again, that small consolation for those who did suffer from its grisly effects.
05:25Arachnophobes might want to sit this one out.
05:27If infected dogs aren't your thing, Resident Evil still got you covered.
05:30The series might just throw spiders your way instead.
05:32We're not sure what's more random, dying by zombies or by giant arachnids in the middle
05:37of the city.
05:38Not just content with being creepy crawlies, these BOWs are more than happy spinning victims
05:43into their oversized webs.
05:49Adding to the overkill are the spider's mini-mees, all of whom have inherited their mommy's taste
05:54for human flesh.
05:55Falling to zombified humans might still qualify as going out in a blaze of glory.
06:00Getting chomped on by an oversized spider?
06:02Yeah, that doesn't sound nearly as cool.
06:12Number 4.
06:13Dying by Raccoon City Syndrome
06:23Staring down the barrel has never been more terrifying than the Raccoon City Syndrome.
06:27Lying dormant within the Raccoon City survivors, this disease builds from inside before unleashing
06:32itself with a vengeance.
06:33Victims have black, bruise-like marks appearing on their bodies before symptoms like extreme
06:38coughing, numbness and severe pain begin to occur.
06:41But there's more.
06:42Upon reaching the terminal stage, the disease causes intense vomiting, hallucinations and unstoppable
06:47fatigue until you spend the last hour writhing in agony.
06:59Although we all thought Raccoon City survivors were lucky to make it out alive, this disease
07:04shows us how bad really can turn into worse.
07:15Number 3.
07:16Devoured by Chunks
07:19No one puts the G in gluttony quite like a pair of mutated twins with an insatiable appetite.
07:25Normally we'd say, you do you.
07:27But when we're the ones on the menu, maybe it's time to start cutting back on the calories.
07:31Mutated by the T-Virus, the chunks have only one thing on their minds.
07:35Devouring anyone in their path.
07:37But unless you can trap them in tightly built corridors, chances are you aren't getting away.
07:45So, if you ever have the misfortune of coming across these overgrown man babies, all you
07:50can do is hope they don't chew before they eat.
07:55Number 2.
07:57Crushed by Mr. X
08:03Calling him Mr. makes this tyrant sound like a perfectly friendly gentleman.
08:07In reality, the stalker isn't backing down until he's got you crushed in his clutches.
08:12Mr. X's relentless pursuit leaves victims without any iota of peace.
08:15Those ominous and foreboding footsteps are the prelude to a monster that can only be described as the devil in
08:21motion.
08:21What happens if he does catch you?
08:23We'd recommend asking Ben Bertolucci.
08:25But he's a bit busy, you know, having his face smashed in and all.
08:35Getting punched or slammed around by this trench-coated nightmare are equally painful ways to clock out.
08:41But considering your other option might be getting bazooka'd by an abomination like Nemesis,
08:45your chances in Raccoon City are slim pickings indeed.
08:54Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions.
08:58Caught by Chief Irons.
08:59Getting murdered and stuffed?
09:01Suddenly, being eaten by zombies doesn't sound so bad.
09:04I see you.
09:06Game over, Sharon.
09:08No!
09:16Speed Blitz by Albert Wesker.
09:18Seven minutes of playtime isn't nearly as fun as he makes it sound.
09:22Help!
09:24Help!
09:26Help!
09:27Help!
09:28Help!
09:29Help!
09:29Help!
09:30Help me!
09:32Devoured by a giant alligator.
09:34There's always a bigger fish in the sea.
09:36Too bad it wants you instead.
09:43Dissected by a regenerator.
09:44Being an anatomy project for this monster wasn't exactly on our bucket list.
09:55Before we continue, be sure to check out WatchMojo's 24-hour livestream.
09:59All of your favorite videos in one place, 24-7.
10:03Always on.
10:04Always live.
10:05Are you not entertained?
10:07Number 1.
10:08Roundhouse Kick by Leon.
10:16Nothing smells gruesome and quite like Leon S. Kennedy introducing your face to his boot.
10:21Okay.
10:21Okay.
10:22We're kidding.
10:22So onto the real number one.
10:26Number 1.
10:27Morphed by the G-virus.
10:40A quick death feels like a merciful option compared to what the G-Virus does to you.
10:45Take one look at William Birkin and all you can think is one word.
10:49Nope.
10:50This infection transforms a person from an ordinary human into a demonic monstrosity.
10:54Surviving devastating injuries doesn't sound all that good once you realize your body parts are replaced with bulging eyes,
11:00enormous claws, and ultimately a horrifying mass of flesh.
11:10Plus, there's really not much else to do except screen the last remnants of your humanity away.
11:16We're still confused about when the human truly dies and the monster takes over.
11:20But are we clamoring to find out firsthand?
11:22We'll let Leon answer this one.
11:24No thanks, bro.
11:26Can you think of any other Resident Evil deaths that deserve to be on this list?
11:29Let us know in the comments.
