"Help, I can't hold him! There's something down here! Oh My God no...!"
―An Assistant Doctor screams for help before he is devoured by a Fury.[src]

Furies are a strain of Chimera that appears in Resistance 2. This strain is designed to live and attack in bodies of water.

Resistance 2[]

Furies first appears in San Francisco. Furies are present in almost every body of water; they will normally simply circle around. The strain are invincible and if Nathan Hale comes in contact with one, he is automatically killed, in which the Fury will grab Hale and then fatally biting him. In general they are used to render bodies of water as instant death traps, though sometimes the player is asked to quickly swim through Fury-infested water. When seeing water, it is advisable to search the area for Furies before trying to swim through it. Furies can also swim at a faster pace than normal to attack the player.

Resistance 3[]

Prior to the events of the game, on July 4, 1953, Furies were utilized in the defense of the New York Tower during SRPA's failed assault. However, as the Chimera began deploying the Terraformers, these Furies still in the lakes of Central Park were caught frozen in the water.

By 1957, it appears that the Chimera had begun phasing out the Fury strain, largely due to its terraforming process freezing rivers and lakes, rendering Furies unnecessary as remaining human communities hide underground and away from the sea.

Trivia[]

Resistance 2[]

  • The Fury'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.
  • Furies strongly resemble the Sharkigators from Insomniac's Ratchet & Clank which they also instantly kill the player if they stay too long in the water.
  • Fury outside the water

    In Chicago, a Fury is briefly seen climbing onto a car before re-entering the water, resembling a seal. It is unclear to what extent these creatures can move around on land, though since they never attack the player while they are climbing on other cars, it is doubtful they are particularly effective there.
  • Furies are invincible as a gameplay mechanic to deny the player access through flooded areas.
  • Furies were originally going to be able to crawl on the ground and attack you. Concept art shows them armed with what looks like Reaper Carbines.

Resistance: Burning Skies[]

  • Furies are mentioned in the intel document "Strange Shellfish", in which a fisherman writes to his friend of how Thibodeaux caught a large "shellfish" that is about 7-8 feet long.
  • There are several photographs of a Fury along with Kraken and Leviathan in the newspapers found in Richard Gorrell's office in Ellis Island with the title "DIFFERENT RACES?".
