The Verdugos are at first unseen; their forms hidden under long red and black cloaks that bore Los Iluminados' insignia. Their faces, however, were seen to be clearly inhuman, having shimmering red eyes and large mandibles, and their hands having only two long, spindly fingers with one opposable thumb. Later, when one of them was sent to hunt down Leon S. Kennedy, it discarded its cloak to reveal a thin, insectoid body, covered in a black exoskeleton and having a long segmented tail. As it tracked Leon, it would occasionally attack by thrusting its tail through the floor or ceiling grate. Its carapace is highly damage-resistant to the extent that it can survive gunfire and explosions.
