T-virus
Reanimating viral agent
T-virus is a fictional pathogen from the *Resident Evil* video game and film franchise.
Created by the Umbrella Corporation, it transforms infected humans into zombies and spawns other mutated creatures.
The name derives from "tyrant virus," reflecting its use in creating bioweapons.
T-virus has become shorthand in gaming culture for any zombie-creating plague: Every outbreak movie is basically just another T-virus scenario.
