Armadura (translates to Armour) is a Plaga infected suit of armour which resides in Ramon Salazar's castle.
The leading theory of their existence is that the Plagas once belonged to former hosts and were looking for dark, protective places to inhabit while they waited for a new host to arrive. After time, they preferred the conditions of the armour and chose to remain there, becoming a new type of creature.
They are initially passive when Leon S. Kennedy and Ashley Graham approach, however when the two are split up they suddenly spring into action and attempt to capture Ashley (it is presumed that Osmund Saddler directs the Plaga to activate and pursue her).
The Plaga appears to have grown throughout the armour in the form of a rudimentary body which allows it to move around in a convincingly human way. They are even able to swing swords. Their only weak points are the pieces of parasitic flesh which appear from the side of their heads (similar to a Ganado Desnucado) as well as small sections which are visible between the pieces of armour. They can also be severely damaged with Grenades.

Interestingly, if enough damage is caused to the Plaga, it will sprout from the helmet into a form which resembles the Plaga Guadaña.Like all Plaga, Armadura are weak against strong sources of light - but they are only stunned by this. After a period of stillness, they will resume the attack.
Famously, Ashley Graham was forced to sneak around many Armadura in the darkness after being separated from Leon. On the way, she managed to find a lantern which had the ability to stagger the Armadura if she pointed it directly at them. However, she had nothing to actually kill them so she was forced to run.
If somehow the Plaga is killed, their bodies quickly dissolve into biomass and then nothing, which causes the now-empty armour to fall to the ground.
