• Regenerators/Iron Maidens: These horrifying enemies can regenerate damage rapidly. Their weak points are the Plaga parasites within their bodies, often revealed by thermal vision.
• Verdugo: A fast and agile humanoid creature with a deadly tail. Its weak point is its head, but it's difficult to hit.

• Ramon Salazar: The castle's tyrannical ruler, who merges with a grotesque plant-like entity.
