* NamedByTheAdaptation: A note in the ''Resident Evil 4 Remake'' reveals that the Verdugo that chases Leon was once a castle servant named Isidro Uriarte Talavera, who created both the other Verdugo and the Novistadors.

** Dominant Strain Plaga take everything bad about how normal Plaga emerge from their hosts, turns them to the top rank, and customizes them to how their hosts want. Mendez walks around with an inhumanly long and fully exposed spine as well as tentacle spikes grown out of his shoulders, Salazar (merged with the Queen Plaga and a Verdugo) turns into a monstrous tentacle head that grows out of a flesh wall, Krauser's arm turns into a giant scythe, Saddler has legs that are bigger than his entire body burst out of his neck, carrying his face with an eye in the mouth.

* AxCrazy: Ganado and Majini, for the most part, are not actual zombies (per se) as they are possessed people driven by negative emotions taken up to eleven. When they don't feel threatened to enter a psychopathic frenzy, they're capable of relative civility and regular lives amongst each other. Their sense of reasonability, however, wildly varies from individual to individual: the ones that live in Bitorez Mendez's mansion are almost normal, whilst some of the villagers live in inhuman squalor and self-inflicted violence.

* TheHeavy: Of the ''Separate Ways'' [=DLC=]. With the exception of one encounter with Mendez and [[FinalBoss Saddler]], Ada never really interacts with the inner circle of Los Iluminados, spending two thirds of the [=DLC=] being hunted by Pesanta and trying to remove the parasite it infected her with early on.

* CanonForgeiner: Martinico did not exist in the original 2005 game, being an original creation for the remake's ''Separate Ways'' [=DLC=].

The black-robed "Verdugo" in the remake is actually a proto-Verdugo created using more primitive methods involving biological fusions. Unlike in the original, it no longer fuses with Salazar to create his OneWingedAngel form. It's revealed in the ''Separate Ways'' [=DLC=] to have spent its time hunting down Ada.

* CreepyCentipedes: Its parasite tail rips off and attacks Ada after she kills Pesanta's main body during their third and final encounter, moving around like a giant centipede.

* FlunkyBoss: During the first two fights with it it uses the parasite inside of Ada to make her hallucinate smoky doppelgangers of itself. Most of them will vanish after only a single hit, but are still able to damage Ada. The second phase of the last encounter also has it summon novistadors.
* ImplacableMan: It relentlessly pursues Ada through the DLC, apparently able to use the parasite implanted in her to sense her location.

* NamedByTheAdaptation: Prior to the remake's Separate Ways DLC, fans just called it "the other Verdugo."
* NoOntologicalInertia: The parasites that it implants into its victims cannot survive without it. Almost as soon as Ada kills it, she vomits up the parasite.

In the remake, the red-robed Verdugo (Salazar's "left hand") is the only "proper" Verdugo in the game; the black-robed "Verdugo" has been recharacterized into Pesanta, see below.

* AdaptationalExplanation: In the remake, it's finally revealed where the Verdugos came from. One of Salazar's servants was conducting gene-splicing experiments with human and arthropod DNA; the Novistadors were an early iteration of the project and Verdugo is the final product. He gave the former the name U-2 and the latter the name [[CompositeCharacter U-3]].

* CompositeCharacter: The remake gives one of the Verdugos the name "U-3," after the boss from the original ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4''.

* WasOnceAMan: The Remake has a note that reveals that the Verdugo that chases Leon was originally a castle servant named Isidro Uriarte Talavera.

The second Verdugo in the remake that stayed behind with Salazar while the other pursued Leon. Unlike in the original, it no longer fuses with Salazar to create his OneWingedAngel form. It's revealed in the ''Separate Ways'' [=DLC=] to have spent its time hunting down Ada.
