The Uroboros virus possesses the ability to mutate specific hosts. If the host has "superior" DNA", the virus will fuse with the host and endow various beneficial mutations. An incompatible host will instead begin to ooze an ink-like fluid, and countless leech-like creatures will begin growing within the host, absorbing nearby tissue and using it to birth even more of these creatures. These leeches will bind to the victim's body, as well as to other leeches and corpses, eventually creating a huge, monstrous "Leech-Man". The agent was created from the NE-T virus that had grown and developed inside Jill Valentine whom Albert Wesker captured after a fight between him, her, and Chris Redfield at Spencer's Estate. The NE-T virus was not fully cured from the vaccination that Carlos had given Jill in Raccoon City because the vaccination was still in development. It had merely stopped the virus from killing her, but after all that time it had mutated and developed into an entirely new virus which Wesker documents in one of the files.
