† Silent Hill 2 • Creatures†

Warning: spoilers of the game.

Lying Creature
Anthropomorphic creature with arms attached to the body, an instable walking. The skin is burnt and sticky, they seem to be naked. The first enemy of the game, they will attack James spiting a sort of acid vomit, that will be easy to avoid since they will take a few seconds to charge the attack. If lying on the floor, they will crawl with a considerable speed, trying to bit our legs. Kill them with wooden plank. They’re everywhere through the game.

Mannequin
A “common” mannequin with legs instead of arms, headless. Female creature, has a glossy and smooth skin. We will see them still, getting close to them will mean make them move frantically, trying to hit James with their legs. The attack and movements are faster than the Lying Creature, so be careful and take some distances. Steel pipe (more ranged attack than wooden plank) or pistol will kill them without any problem. Turning off the torch could be an interesting strategy to avoid them easily. They’re in the Apartments, on streets, Hospital and Hotel.







Cockroach
An insect bigger and faster than normal, attacks biting our feets. We can find it hearing its typical sound of a cricket, and we will kill them using feets, that means NOT ammutions at all. They infest Apartments, streets and the bug room in the sewers.

Bubble Head
Nurses with an amazing body but a very deformed face, and a shaking head. They’re unsteady but dangerous and fast, since they equip a steel pipe and attack in a group of two or more. Use pistol and steel pipe, or shotgun if they will surround you. We will find them at the Hospital (strange...) and on streets in the alternate Silent Hill.

Mandarin
These creatures are very similar to the Closers from SH3. Skinless and deformed, they will appear under the fences on the floor, trying to hit James with something that comes out their “hands”. These creature are not fast, and attack only when James doesn’t walk. So the best strategy is avoiding them walking or running. They’re in the alternate Silent Hill, in the Labyrinth (around Pyramid Head’s room) and at the Hotel.

Il Prigioniero
This is a weird and creepy thing. Reaching Toluca Prisons, in the two corridors we will hear someone whispering something. In the middle of the room, if we aim to the 7th cell, James will be able to hit someone, that will bleed and die after a few shoots. This is not a common enemy or a boss, it could be an old prisoner that lies there since 1820, when prison were open and active.

Abstract Daddy
Creatures identical to the Abstract Daddy that attacked Angela in the Labyrinth. They’re very deformed, and their shape seems like a bed with two persons on it (in a strange visual way, that’s obvious). They’re pretty slow, but have a vey powerful attack, so be very distanced from them, since Abstract Daddy attacks when you’re very close to it. Shotgun is the best weapon to beat them with no problems, or if you have not many bullets try to run and avoid them, using their slowness.
