One of Salazar’s bodyguards, the Verdugo is another mutation of a human with the parasite. They are humanoid in nature, but with large claws and a huge tail with a sharp edge. It can climb on walls or the ceiling, it is incredibly fact and deadly. Worst of all its skin is almost impenetrable.

Salazar dispatched his right hand to kill Leon after dropping him down a well. The Verdugo tries to kill Leon but resourceful as he is, Leon finds use for the liquid nitrogen canisters lying around and uses them to freeze the Verdugo. Once frozen, the Verdugo is rendered harmless and eventually Leon shatters the monster to pieces.
