Pyramid Head

[BACK STORY] Pyramid Head is one of the creatures belonging to the parallel dimension of Silent Hill, the Otherworld, and makes his first appearance in Silent Hill 2, where he stalks the protagonist, James Sunderland. After each encounter/encounter, he kills the other monsters, or Maria, the second playable character, in a very sadistic way, and James is forced to repeatedly observe his death. What makes it so bloody is that Mary is very much like Mary, his late wife. The meaning of the creature’s actions becomes clear only when, towards the end of the game, James watches a videotape containing a video of himself killing his wife Mary: every time the Pyramid Head kills Maria, James suffers and pays for the crime he committed. Pyramid Head eventually commits suicide by stabbing his head with his spear, symbolizing that James has become aware of the crime he committed.

Originally, Pyramid Head was intended to embody (like all Silent Hill monsters) the crime committed by James, as well as his own psychological profile: Pyramid Head, while appearing calm, attacks with extreme brutality, and often sexually abuses other monsters. These factors allude to the anger and anger that James seeks to conceal under his seemingly impassive attitude, and to his sexual repression, suffered largely from his wife’s illness. With subsequent episodes, however, the figure of Pyramid Head is disambiguated, embodying the generic terms the "sins" of those who did not suffer removed them from consciousness, as in the case of Silent Hill: Homecoming, in which Pyramid Head punishes Alex Shepherd, the protagonist in charge, who had accidentally killed his brother, bloody killing his father in front of his eyes. Although the monster is never addressed, it is present in various movies as an element of terror and anguish. Other figures similar to those of Pyramid Head are present in the other chapters, as in the case of Silent Hill 3. Many believe that Pyramid Head is identifiable with Valtiel, the demon used to alternate, through the help of some knobs, the real world with the Otherworld. He is a servant of God, and for this reason every time Heather is killed in the game, he drags her away with him to bring her back to life; otherwise the god who grows in her womb will not be able to see the light. However, despite many rumors about the identity and connection between Pyramid Head and Valtiel, Masahiro Ito, the creature designer, wanted to shed light on this story and explained the origin of these two enigmatic characters

[APPARENCE] Pyramid Head has an anthropomorphic appearance, pale, muscular, powerful and at the same time slightly overweight, as evidenced by its protruding belly. He wears a complex pyramidal structure on his head in rusty iron and blood red; on the front side of the pyramid there is a small hole from which Pyramid Head lets out his sharp tongue. This gigantic helmet looks rather painful and difficult to carry and is also resting on a flaccid meat mass, which could be the head of Pyramid Head. He wears a long bloodstained butcher’s coat with a zipper and some leather laces on the front and back, a pair of bloody gloves and black boots. Pyramid Head uses a huge knife (called Great Knife), also rusted and stained with blood, and a long running pole (or spear). He never speaks and does not seem to be able to do so, although he sometimes grunts and groans painfully. In addition, although his helmet prevents him from seeing, he still manages to identify James or the other monsters; it is not known whether he uses the other senses or if he possesses powers that allow him to somehow feel the presence of other beings. Masahiro Ito, the designer of the monsters of the second chapter, created it with the intention of giving life to a "monster with a hidden face", but was disappointed by his drawings, which resembled humans wearing masks. He drew a monster with a pyramid-shaped head. According to Ito, the triangle has right and acute angles, and their shape suggests the possibility of pain, while the triangle shape helps explain the role of the monster in the game. Of the creatures that appear in Silent Hill 2, Pyramid Head is characterized by an "overly masculine" appearance.

He has a long, viscous tongue that he likes to play with in lustful moments. He is a 7'0'' tall man
