The cultists and monsters inResident Evil 4 Remakeare controlled by the parasitic Plagas. There are many different mutations for the bugs and their hosts, each with terrifying powers. If the stars had anything to do with the Plagas' transformations, what kind of monster would your zodiac sign become?

The creatures that Leon fights throughout the game are as unique as the signs. There’s no indication that the host’s zodiac has any influence on their Plaga transofrmation, but if they did, would anybody bat an eye? This is Resident Evil, after all!
This article contains spoilers.
12Aries (March 21 - April 19) - Garrador
Like the Garrador, Ariesoperates on instinct.Aries likes what they like and do what they do, and if anybody doesn’t like it, well, that’s not Aries' problem. Aries has atendency to rush into thingsand chase whatever goal has their attention, just like the blade-wielding Garrador!

Aries likes to win, and theirtake-no-prisoners styleensures that they do so often. However, like the Garrador, they can sometimes find themselves so focused on their objective that they leave their back exposed…
11Taurus (April 20 - May 20) - Brute
It’s not just the bull’s head that makes the Brute a Taurus. The Brute has aslow-and-steady approach; he knows he’s bigger and tougher than Leon, and all he has to do is swing his hammer around to smash the pesky outsider!

Taurus is known for their stability, and the Brute takes that literally - you’ve got to be very lucky to stagger this heavy hitter. If you do manage to beat a Brute, theyusually drop gems. Taurus is good at earning and saving money, after all.
10Gemini (May 21 - June 20) - Del Lago
Like Gemini, Del Lagodoesn’t necessarily want to fight; after getting stuck with a harpoon, the monstrous fish flees, taking Leon’s boat along for the ride. Del Lago attacks only when cornered, and like the adaptable twins of the zodiac hetries many different approachesto make his snack stop fighting back.

You might not think that a sociable sign like Gemini would be a good fit for a monster living alone in a lake, but Del Lagoalways comes out to greet anyone who drops by to visit- after all, they usually bring food, so it would be rude not to at least say hello!
9Cancer (June 21 - July 22) - Bitores Mendez
Finding Mendez’s notes from before his transformation show that he felt astrong sense of responsibilityfor the villagers, and even after the takeover by Los Illuminados he’s still a loyal and protective leader. He’sless callous than Salazar or Saddler, encouraging his minions to attack in groups to increase their chances of survival, and he spares Leon on several occasions because he has “the gift in the blood.”

Mendez’sloyaltyand moral compass (such as it is) make him an outstanding Cancer. What other sign would make such a great leader for the Ganados?
8Leo (July 23 - August 22) - Doctor Salvador
Whenever Doctor Salvador appears,everyone’s heart rate speeds up.While there’s no in-game mechanic for his righteous fury making other nearby cultists stronger, it wouldn’t feel out of place. Salvador is a consummate Leo, standing firmly in the spotlight and making everyone around him brighter (and bloodier) for it.

Doctor Salvador isalways the center of attention, and he likes it that way. Players can’t take their eyes off of him - not without risking a chainsaw to the face, of course.
7Virgo (August 23 - September 22) - Verdugo
Verdugo is the result of nearly a decade of experimentation by Isidro Uriarte Talavera, Ramon Salazar’s right-hand man. Obsessed with creating a new life-form, Talavera eventually injected himself with black fluid distilled from the Plagas, transforming himself into the scoprion-like Verdugo.

Verdugo’s origin story ofstriving for perfectionis classic Virgo, and after his mutation the game’s most resilient boss is even more aligned with this Earth sign. All of Verdugo’s attacks are precisely timed, requiring the player to counter with precision of their own. Verdugo ispractical enough to duckwhen Leon aims for his head, and like most Virgos hewon’t stop until he’s achieved his goal.
6Libra (September 23 - October 22) - Ramon Salazar
Capricious and playful, Ramon Salazar is what happens when aLibra turns to evil. He loves attention and aesthetics, and even has a twisted sense of fairness; Salazar gives Leon plenty of chances to fight his way out of situations, solely for his own entertainment.

Even Salazar’s boss fight evokesa sense of balancethat’s entirely appropriate to LIbra’s scales - the arena is perfectly symmetrical, with a dramatic waltz playing in the background for effect.
5Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) - Osmund Saddler
Despite being the game’s main villain, Saddler doesn’t get that much screen time. When he does appear, however, it’s easy to see why he’s a successful cult leader - he’ssmart, eloquent, and driven,making him the ultimate Scorpio bad guy.

Scorpio’spenchant for tough loveis especially apparent during the final boss battle with Saddler. He continuously addresses Leon as a wayward child, inviting him to join Los Illuminados and receive the “blessing” of the Plagas. From his point of view, he’s doing the right thing for his flock and for the world, even if it hurts.
4Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) - Plaga
Free-roaming Plagas are a new addition in Resident Evil 4 remake, able to jump from host to host easily. Thisadaptability and urge to travelfits well with Sagittarius, who is always willing to try new things.

Sagittarius' open-mindedness makes themespecially good at making connectionswith people. The Plaga does that, too - usually directly through the spinal cord as the parasite overrides their new friend’s nervous system!
3Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) - El Gigante
El Gigante is one of the toughest creatures around, showing theresilience and fortitudeof Capricorn. Capricornfavors the direct approach, pragmatically using proven methods like stepping on would-be heroes that disturb their nap.

In the original game, the cultists unleash El Gigante on Leon hoping the big guy will do him in. The Remake version of El Gigantetakes the initiative himself, in true Capricorn fashion; after being sedated by Los Illuminados to slow his devouring of their livestock, he wakes up hungry and goes after Leon without needing any instructions.
