| “ | Long story short, Miranda's f-king insane. And this village, all these monsters and freaks... this is her life's work. Some sort of crazy experiment with the mold. | „ |
| ~ Chris reveals to Ethan the origins of the Mold. |
The Molded (モールデッド Mōrudeddo) also known as the Mold, are major antagonists in Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. These creatures are made by E-001 from both human victims and large quantities of mold, a hyper-evolved fungus. They were created by Mother Miranda and The Connections to be a marketable bio-weapon controlled through E-001.
Biography[]
Origins[]
The Molded starts off its life as a Supercolony known as the "Black God" (Megamycete in localization), a mold colony found in Eastern Europe. The colony was found in a cavern, when Miranda attempted to commit suicide after grieving to her daughter's death due to the Spanish flu pandemic from 1918-1920. Miranda was exposed to the Mold, giving her mutant abilities and awakening the memories of many. Seeing the Mold as a potential to revive her late daughter, Miranda revered the colony and experimented upon it for the next decades including infecting the villagers with the Mold.
In 2000, Miranda was contacted by The Connections, a crime syndicate to collaborate as their overseer in creating a human bioweapon along with the H.C.F. Using the samples of Mold implanted within a human embryo, the Connections are able to create prototype dubbed the "D-Series" with most being deemed a complete failure. The later "E-Series" is more of a successful creation, with E-001 being the first and only E-Series. These human bioweapons were created with the purpose of a mind controlling B.O.W. capable of infiltration.
Resident Evil 7: Biohazard[]
The regular Molded's got three ways of attacking, which are: swinging, biting and jump attacks. Swinging are the lowest attacks which barley create any damage. Biting creates medium damage. While the jump attack makes the most damage, as Molded roars from anger.
If Molded gets knocked down, he would quickly get up. Molded is also capable of creating the counterattacks which depend on the protagonist's actions. Molded's can trigger the counterattacks if Ethan aims at them for a very long time.
If the protagonist makes them flinch or sprint near them. The first counterattacks can be dodged, while the sprint counter is rapidly fast and impossible to actually dodge.
Resident Evil 7: Beginning Hour[]
The Molded appear in the basement of the Dulvey House. Molded's will spawn automatically by walking to the Attic Window Key, or by pointing onto the grave with the Dummy Hand. When a lot of damage is made towards the Molded's, lights will activate and Molded will disappear from the video-game.
If the protagonist avoids being attacked by Molded by using the Attic Key, the protagonist will finish the game with the True Ending. While getting hurt by Molded, the protagonist will become infected and it will lead the protagonist to the Infected Ending of the video-game.
Even with Eveline's death, the Molded still exist.
Variations[]
Blade Molded[]
A variation of a Molded armed with a blade-like appendages possibly caused by a natural mutation. They act similarly to the regular Moldeds, albeit having stronger damage. In their incapacitated form, they can sever the player's leg, causing them to lose their leg and bleed.
In the End of Zoe DLC, a stronger version called the Dual Blade Molded can be encountered, having a pair of blades in each arms, essentially increasing their melee damage.
Man-eating Insects[]
The Man-eating Insects are mold-infected insects created by Marguerite Baker by hybridizing them with the mold. She refers to these creatures as her "babies."
Man-eating insects are often found in Insect Hives, in which they will swarm and sting the protagonist with their stingers, causing hives and allergies. They are weak against flamethrowers. Man-eating Spiders are found in cabinets which will attempt to attack the protagonist upon close contact. The cabinets they're guarding often contains valuable items inside.
Quick Molded[]
A Molded that has mutated, causing it to walk on all-fours. It is also called the Four-Legged Molded. Despite its nimble speed, it is more frail than the regular Molded however, it should not be underestimated as its high mobility and speed makes it a force to be reckoned with, combined with its great damage. This variation is first encountered later on in the Processing Area where it will burst through a wall.
Fat Molded[]
| “ | Fat man DOWN! Fat man DOWN! Eh.... he was never my favorite anyway. | „ |
| ~ Lucas Baker |
The Fat Molded are obsessed and stronger of the regular Moldeds. These Fat Molded's attack the protagonist by releasing acid. As expected the Fat Molded's are strongest but the slowest. The Fat Molded's are noted in the barn. If the protagonist shoots them, the Fat Molded would instantly start attacking by vomiting. When Fat Molded is in the middle of vomiting, the protagonist gets the chance to attack the Molded. If the Molded is chasing the creature, shooting it in the legs will reduce its mobility. Even through their deaths, Lucas Baker never loved them.
Mama Molded[]
Development Code WM-001 or the Mama Molded which is first encountered in the Not a Hero DLC. They are an advanced form of the Fat Molded. Like the Fat Molded, they also attack by vomiting and can also run over the player. They can also summon Little Crawlers (Code: WM-001A") which can latch on the protagonist and explode. The most remarkable feature of the Mama Molded is their regenerative abilities which makes them impervious to firearms. Their only weakness is an Anti-Regen bullets known as the Rapid-acting Mycetotoxic rounds (RAMRODs) which impairs their regenerative abilities.
Fumer[]
Development Code WM-002, also called the Fumer is an another enemy encountered at the Not a Hero DLC. Their body structure and behavior are similar to that of a regular Molded albeit having white-colored mold. Like the Mama Molded, they are impervious to regular bullets and must be dispatched with RAMRODs.
Gator[]
| “ | Aw come on. Not now, gator. | „ |
| ~ Joe Baker |
A mold-infected alligator.
During the events of End of Zoe DLC, regular alligators became infected by the Mold. They became larger and aggressive. Multiple tumorous growths are protruding from their tough hide while their teeth has become jutted. They will only attack by viciously biting the protagonist's torso, instantly killing them.
