(Sega AM1's universe)
That's a tricky one!
Type E-1, named Rubin (ルービン, Rūbin ), is a short-sized, male humanoid creature who wields claws. He is an enemy in The House of the Dead, its 2022 remake, and House of the Dead: Scarlet Dawn.
In combat, Rubin rolls at his target to attack. He is often paired with Drake, a similar creature. There's a creature similar to him, called Moody, which is an improved version.
Appearance[]
Rubin is small in size. He wears a light gray suit jacket with black buttons, black pants, a black tie and a light gray hat with a black stripe. He has no skin all over his body, no eyes, no nose and his mouth reveals exposed teeth. His face may be a leather mask.[1]
In the PC and Sega Saturn ports of The House of the Dead, Rubin shows fewer detailed signs of decay. His head is covered in blood, rendering his facial features indistinguishable.
In the remake, he wears a suit with two small jacket pockets, black pants and black shoes. His claws are part of his gloves. He wears a dark green tie and his hat is now black with a beige stripe. His face is rotten, featuring a nose and an open mouth revealing yellow teeth. His skin is green.
Gameplay[]
As with Drake, Rubin is a short, nimble creature who can be a difficult target to hit. Unlike his partner, Rubin has no projectiles to throw; instead, his uses short-range claws to attack. He either drops down from the air to attack or rolls toward players for a lunging bite.
Rubin can take many body shots before dying and can even survive headless at times. Shooting him during his attacks will cause Rubin to fall backwards, buying players extra time to inflict damage.
Trivia[]
- There is an unused Rubin-like creature in the original House of the Dead with the filename "lubin". He is shirtless, wears a cap, and sports what appears to be Greek lettering on his body.
- A Rubin uses the voice of Aero-divers in Virtua Cop 2.
