Moroaică (pleural: "Moroaice") are a type of undead creature that appear as enemies in Resident Evil Village. Located primarily in Castle Dimitrescu, Moroaice were female humans that had been murdered by Alcina Dimitrescu and her daughters, only to be reanimated via Mold infection.
Biology[]
Lady Dimitrescu and her daughters would kill their victims by feeding on their blood. Whether they transmitted the Mold during feeding or through other means is unclear, but the infected corpses would reanimate as ghoulish creatures that were also driven to feed on the blood of the living. Unlike Lady Dimitrescu, however, the Moroaice would retain none of their former human intelligence or consciousness. However, they could be controlled by Lady Dimitrescu as members of her Mold sub-colony.
The body of a Moroaică still appears mostly human, though it is covered with multiple wounds and scars caused by whatever tortures and punishments Dimitrescu and her children inflicted upon it. Its only inhuman features are its pale eyes and its elongated canine teeth which it uses to feed on living prey. It may also infect victims with the Mold with its bite.
Behaviour[]
Moroaice normally lie in a dormant, death-like state until disturbed by an intruder. After hearing movement, they awake and shamble towards the source of the sound. They only move in a slow, staggering gait, but retain enough motor functions to be able to grasp and manipulate certain objects. In fact, most Moroaice carry swords and will attack by clumsily swinging these weapons. Otherwise, they will attempt to grab a victim and bite into them.
Combat[]
Moroaice are slow, so they can be dodged fairly easily with sufficient space to maneuver. As undead humans, they are somewhat resistant to small arms, though handguns are usually enough to kill them. As with most human-based bioweapons, the head is their weakest point. Like other Mold-based mutants, they crystallize and disintegrate upon death.
