Lickers:

These are the first of the new breed of beasts that you will come across. You saw one in the hallway with the I-got-my-head-twisted-off policeman. These things lash out their tongues at you and can do some serious damage if you're not careful. These too, can easily be run around to conserve ammo.

No picture available.  Alligator:

Luckily for you, there is only one Alligator in the game. You have to coax him to follow you to a certain screen so that you can kill him (shouldn't be too hard to make him follow you considering he's kinda hungry).

There is a way to kill the alligator with one shot. When you get into the hall where it is, you should see a button on the wall. Press it when the gaiter is following you and a canister comes down. When the alligator chomps on it, shoot the canister. Wonderfully, the canister was filled with gas and explodes the gaiter's head into a billion little pieces.

Killing
One hit from anything can kill these things. IF you can hit them, that is. 
 
No picture available.  Maggots:
The maggots are only found near then entrance and within to the moth room. They fall form the ceiling to attack you. These are probably the easiest enemies to kill in the game. They shouldn't even be called monsters they're that weak.

Plants:
The plants are about as much of a bitch as the hunters were in RE1. They can attack from a long distance sith their poisonous spit. Luckily for you, they also hate fire, so if you have them use the flame-thrower or flame grenades.

These giant arachnids are hardly ever dangerous, unless you're stupid. In most cases you don't have to fight them to succeed. Just run around them while watching for the occasional poisonous acid spit.

No picture available.  Tyrant-103

Yes, the Tyrant is back, although sometimes referred to as Mr. X. This time he wears clothes and follows you around for a while. Busting through walls just to annoy you. He appears only in the second scenario of each character. You can only knock him down the first few times you see him. He will always get up again. The only time that you can kill him is very late in the game. 

If you do decide to knock him down instead of run, be sure to check his body (he won't get up again while you are in the room) for some mad amounts of ammo.

Knocking Down
Knife = 34
Handgun = 33 shots
Shotgun = 9 shots
Custom Shotgun = 5 shots

The third of fourth time (depending on how you play), the Tyrant will be meaner than usual and will take more to knock him down.

The last time you face the Tyrant (near the end of the game) you will be able to kill him. You have to hit him with a certain amount of ammo before a mystery woman drops a rocket launcher for you till kill him with.
