Fury



The Fury is a new strain of Chimera that appears in Resistance 2. This species is designed to live and attack in water.

Furies are almost always in levels where there is water. They circle around the player waiting for them to fall in the water. However, there is but one instant that you can catch a fury out of water. During the Chicago mission, you can see it climb onto land to bask in the sunlight. You must kill all other chimera so as to allow it to get out. In the short amount of time it basks, you must swim across to the site of the dead chimera. Be warned: as soon as you get near the ramp to the hotel, the Fury will reenter the water. Furies are invincible and if a player comes in contact with one, the player is automatically killed.

When you spot water, it is advised to search the area for Furies as you may have to traverse over water for short periods.

Furies also appear in Resistance Retribution, but unlike the Furies in Resistance 2, these can be killed by the player. These Furies can fire a telekinetic blast at the player.

Sirens?
During the events of Resistance: Retribution, the Furies are referenced as Sirens. It is unknown if these are actually Furies or a completely other Chimera strain, but it is likely a nickname that the Maquis give the aquatic foes. Given that the Resistance 2 Furies cannot fire telekinetic blasts as they can in Resistance: Retribution. This may mean that Sirens and Furies are two similar, but different strains-although the idea of giving the R2 Furies with telekinesis would result in a terribly annoying and difficult enemy to face, considering they are invincible anyway.

Trivia
It's name is derived from the Furies, or Erinyes from Greek mythology in which they are female deities of vengeance or supernatural personifications of the anger of the dead.
