"You'll see a lot of Resident Evil 4, Resident Evil 6. Zach and I went through and pulled specific creature elements that we like from the games, whether it's tentacles, the teeth integration, and then tried to take that language and move it over to these creatures."

I said to Neal: 'Are you going to be giving me directions? I'm really down if that's the case - you're a genius,' and he said, 'No, no, no, James. Think of it like this: You're Frank Oz, and I'm making Yoda for you.' This collaborative approach between performer and creature designer proved transformative for the character.
