It first appears in ''[[Resident Evil 3: Nemesis]]'', before later emerging in other titles and [[cameo appearance|cameo]] roles. It is also featured on various merchandise and in the 2004 film ''[[Resident Evil: Apocalypse]]''. The character is voiced by an uncredited actor in the game, and portrayed by [[Matthew G. Taylor]] in the film.<ref name="jeremy" /> Nemesis is a bio-organic weapon, created by the [[Umbrella Corporation]] as a form of [[supersoldier|super soldier]]. Designed as an improvement on Umbrella's previous [[List of creatures in the Resident Evil series#Tyrant|Tyrant]] design, Nemesis can use weapons and think independently enough to overcome obstacles to complete its mission. Unleashed in [[Raccoon City]], its orders are to kill all members of the [[List of characters in the Resident Evil series#STARS|STARS]]. Since Nemesis's introduction, the character has received a positive reception, and has come to be regarded as one of the series' most popular characters. Publications such as ''[[GamePro]]'' have praised its role as an intimidating villain, while others such as [[IGN]] and [[GameDaily]] have noted it as one of their favorite and most terrifying monsters in video games. The general public also praised the character, earning it mention on [[G4 (TV network)|G4's]] ''[[Filter (TV series)|Filter]]'' and on [[GameSpot]] as one of their favorite villains of all time. ==Conception and design== Introduced in ''Resident Evil 3'', Nemesis was designed under the concept of a "huge, overpowering monster that could use weapons and [...] intelligently track you anywhere". During development, many different designs were considered. Although some elements remained constant among them, the early designs featured several different degrees of surface damage, as well as different options for clothing such as a [[Ballistic vest|protective vest]] instead of a coat or a nude design similar to the original [[List of creatures in the Resident Evil series#Tyrant|Tyrant]] from ''[[Resident Evil (video game)|Resident Evil]]''.<ref>{{cite book |title=Resident Evil Archives |last=Capcom Staff |authorlink=Capcom |year=2005 |publisher=[[BradyGames]]/[[Capcom]] |isbn=0744006554 |page=223}}</ref> In the series' story, Nemesis is the result of infecting a Tyrant—a humanoid [[bioweapon]] created to be the ultimate life-form<ref>{{cite book |title=Resident Evil Archives |last=Capcom Staff |authorlink=Capcom |year=2005 |publisher=[[BradyGames]]/[[Capcom]] |isbn=0744006554 |page=156}}</ref>—with a parasitic organism designed to increase its intelligence. Upon infection, the parasite takes control of the Tyrant's nervous system, forming its own brain and enabling it to follow precise instructions and make decisions without a need for constant direction. Clothed in black pants, overcoat, boots, and gloves, Nemesis is armed with a [[FIM-92 Stinger|rocket launcher]] mounted on its left arm.<ref name="nemesis-overview" /> To emphasize its design as a [[prototype]], the game developers left exposed muscles on its body and added stitches to cover the right eye.<ref name="guidebook-bh3">{{cite book |title=Biohazard 3 Last Escape Official Guide Book |last=''Resident Evil 3'' development team |authorlink=Capcom |date=1999-11-13 |publisher=[[Aspect Co., Ltd.]]/[[Capcom]]}}</ref> Upon spotting its target, it says the target's name and attacks.<ref name="nemesis-overview">{{cite book |title=Resident Evil Archives |last=Capcom Staff |authorlink=Capcom |year=2005 |publisher=[[BradyGames]]/[[Capcom]] |isbn=0744006554 |pages=159–160}}</ref> The secretions from the parasite give Nemesis heightened regenerative abilities, which result in damage to the skin and the emergence of additional tentacles, as well as unpredictable [[mutations]] to withstand further attacks.<ref name=nemREUC>{{cite video game|title=[[Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles]]|developer=[[Capcom]] |publisher=Capcom |date=2007-11-13 |platform=Wii |version= |level=Nemesis T-Type (Pursuer) Notes}}</ref> In ''Resident Evil 3'', the creature's survival instincts eventually override Nemesis' programming, causing the host's body to reject the parasite and transform into a giant digestive organ. Featuring large central bone protrusions and elongated tentacles, it crawls looking for prey, yet continues trying to complete its mission despite its now diminished intelligence.<ref name="nemesis-overview" /> This design proved to be the most difficult for the game's development team, as they worked to try to make it appear as unique as possible.<ref name="guidebook-bh3" /> ==Appearances== ===In video games=== Nemesis, named after the [[Nemesis (mythology)|Goddess of Vengeance]] from [[Greek mythology]], first appears in the 1999 [[PlayStation]] game ''[[Resident Evil 3: Nemesis]]'' as the game's title character and primary antagonist.

Nemesis continues to stalk Valentine throughout the game, attacking with physical blows and grabs, and with a rocket launcher if armed. After losing its overcoat as a result of heavy damage, Nemesis mutates, and gains the ability to attack with long, extendable tentacles. Despite later being doused in acid, Nemesis continues pursuit, and mutates into a much larger monster after absorbing a dead Tyrant, gaining the ability to spew poison.

The 27-issue series adds to Nemesis's backstory, detailing its origin by showing the infection and transformation of the original Tyrant by the Nemesis parasite. Some elements are changed for its design, such as Nemesis retaining both eyes initially, losing the right eye and gaining cranial staples only after an encounter with Jill.<ref>{{Cite comic| title = BioHazard 3: Last Escape| volume = 1| date = 1999| publisher = Lee Chung Hing| location = [[Hong Kong]]}}</ref> The comic also introduces characters from ''Resident Evil 2'' into the storyline, which results in a face-off between Nemesis and the mutated [[List of characters in the Resident Evil series#William Birkin|William Birkin]] towards the end of the series.<ref>{{Cite comic| title = BioHazard 3: Last Escape| volume = 21| date = 1999| publisher = Lee Chung Hing| location = [[Hong Kong]]}}</ref> In 2000, [[Simon and Schuster]] published a [[novelization]] of ''Resident Evil 3'', written by [[S.
