Plant 43

    Plant 43  (unofficially named as "Ivy") is the result of Umbrella's experiments to create a more sophisticated version of Plant 42, which it was based on.

"Ivies" are bipedal green plants with arm-like vines and a large orange flower for a 'head'. Sentient, or close to sentience, their main method of attack is to whip their target with their vines. They can also attack at range by spitting acid. If the prey gets too close, the plant is able to grab them with their vines and spit acid over their bodies. In some cases, the monster pretends to be dead, but would still whip its target if they walk too close by it.

The experimental anti-B.O.W. gas "P-Epsilon" cannot defeat P-43 and will instead cause it to mutate. This mutated form is physically tougher than its original counterpart, and its acid has become poisonous to humans.

During the Raccoon City Outbreak, Ivies were encountered by Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield as they explored the Raccoon City Underground Research Facility, and by HUNK during his last-minute escape from the Raccoon City Police Department. Umbrella presumably continued at least low-level production of Ivies, or researched into them for several years afterwards, as several were encountered by Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine and Albert Wesker during their respective infiltrations of the Umbrella Caucasus Research Facility in 2003
