His body is mutated to be mostly composed of large flesh-pounded fat that ammunition does little to none damage to it. From observation, his head is the source of the beast's weakpoint due to the less fat and bumps covering it. However, even gunfire shots to the head won't do great harm to the beast.

Temperance was one of several creatures unleashed by the late Caleb Goldman, head of the DBR Corporation and financier of Dr. Roy Curien's research, in a posthumous 2003 outbreak. Veteran AMS agent James Taylor and newcomer Kate Green investigated the outbreak. In the process, they discovered a plot to launch nuclear missiles worldwide.
Taking the subway to the zombie-infested streets, the agents were ambushed by Temperance. Upon realizing that the creature's body was absorbing their bullets, James and Kate lured it to the top of a clock tower; there, they dropped a giant clock face on Temperance's head, killing the creature.
Loving Deads: The House of the Dead EX
Temperance makes a cameo appearance in the third chapter's Zombie Bowling minigame. Players shoot a bowling ball to move and steer it towards pins; Temperance will appear behind the pins and swallow the ball.
Trivia

- Temperance is the first major mutation un-killable by normal methods, only being destroyed by an environmental factor triggered by James and Kate.
- Temperance shares the same ability as Mr.Heart from Fist of the North Star.
- This is the first boss in the entire series that cannot be damaged by firearms or grenades (quite fitting, as the cardinal virtue of Temperance implies a lot of endurance). This was followed by Priestess and Moon, both from House of the Dead: Scarlet Dawn.
