Garradores behave much differently from any other enemies in Resident Evil 4. Most notably they are blind, and do not actively pursue the player. Instead, they attack based on sound. Gunshots and running will cause Garradores to hone on the player's position. Being covered in armor, the Garrador is almost completely protected. They can only be damaged by the exposed Plaga on their back. During their rush attack, they can get their claws stuck in a wall and will struggle to free themselves for a while.
