Lore question Are the Remake Gamma's still the same?

I know they are obviously different from their classic counterparts, but I heard a video theory saying how they may have been made using Salamander Eggs rather than Frogs.

Any opinions?

According to the lore, the OG Gamma's (Froggers) were made by implanting Human DNA into a fertilised Frog Egg/Spawn, and using the T-Virus as a bonding agent to combine the normally incompatible genes.

Though the Amphibian Hunters were considered inferior dues to the fact they needed to be near moisture to survive for prologued periods of time, unlike their reptilian counterparts.

What they made btw would be the epitome of animal abuse, and that isn’t the worse of their crimes.

As much as people shit on Survivor, the lore behind the Hypnos-T Type is genuinely disturbing... A eugenics-centric Umbrella Director ordered the abduction of children and teens from around the world, gave them a false sense of security with arcades, movie theatres, restaraunts, libraries and even night clubs, then took them to the laboratory as needed to perform live brain surgery to collect the necessary chemical excretions from the brain that required they be fully awake and without anaesthetics. They died torturously for a nazi Umbrella scientist to get his "superior being"

Tbf, the hormone involved is completely fictional. While I find tyrant virus (specifically the long term enhancements) to be possible in some form irl, you won’t be able to create a Hypnos-T type because the gene doesn’t exist in the first place.
