yeehaw: Larval Stalker and Raw Shock

These monsters are from the game Silent Hill: Shattered Memories. This game was released for the Wii in 2009, and later to the Playstation 2 and Playstation Portable in 2010. It is the seventh installment in the series.

The main protagonist, Harry Mason, goes to the town of Silent Hill to look for his missing daughter, Cheryl. (This game is set in about 2008, and is sort of in alternate universe, separate from the canon events/characters/etc.)

Larval Stalker: small, partially visible, little ghostie-like entities. They are harmless, and will run away when a flashlight is shone on them. They emit loud, screechy/high-pitched/static noises.

Symbolism- they represent Harry's memories of Cheryl. (they really don't have a lot of symbolism, but there are only two monsters in this game so I kinda had to pick this one, sorrryyy)

~why I like them~ I'm not really all that fond of these monsters, I do like the fact that they are little ghosties.

Raw Shock: hairless, human-like creatures. They have high-pitched, girly voices. They can adopt four traits throughout the game, depending on the player's actions.

(symbolisms kinda included here so there won't be a specific section for that)

Feminine: they get exaggerated female body parts, like large breasts/booties. Their only facial features are a large mouth and eyes. They have zipper-like rips on their back, resembling a corset's threads. Their legs have stitches on them, making it look like they are wearing stockings, and their feet are in the shapes of high heels. As the game progresses, they get more perverted. Organs, bones, and nipples exposed, and heads that resemble penises with their foreskin pulled back. When they are attacking Harry, they do it very sensually.(player's actions to get these Raw Shocks- going through a woman's laundry and finding her lingerie, staring at women's chests/booties, etc.)

Atrophied: they have bones and joints poking out of random places on their body, and holes everywhere. Their feet are stubs. Extremely disfigured. (player's actions to get these Raw Shocks- getting distracted by trivial things, being uncaring/rude)

Diseased: bubbles and some fungus-like flesh are found on their bodies. They look sickly and cancerous. Misshapen mouth. (player's actions to get these Raw Shocks- focusing on drugs/alcohol, staring at a liquor collection, staring at a bong, etc.)

Abstract: their limbs are sliced, they have floating "disks" throughout their body. A hole is on their cross-shaped head. (player's actions to get these Raw Shocks- being good and caring)

~why I like them~ how could I not?????? They are very cool. I really really love that they can change throughout the game, just based on your decisions. (also by the end of the game, they might have a mixture of two or three of the traits) I also love love love love looooooove the character design. 10/10.
