Valtiel and Scraper

 

These are from the game Silent Hill 3. This game was released in 2003. Heather Mason(daughter of Harry Mason, main protagonist of Silent Hill 1) is the protagonist.

Valtiel: his name means "attendant" by way of the French word "valet". He is the "Attendant of God". He is humanoid, with a leathery mask sewn onto his face. His head twitches and vibrates rapidly. He wears ceremonial robes and gloves.
Symbolism- "As God's Attendant, Valtiel observes Heather in order to ensure the birth of God". His mask/smock/gloves are "reminiscent of surgical wear, symbolizing his role in helping to deliver the reborn God." (the thingies in apostrophes are not my words, I just liked those sentences.)
~why I like him~ I really really love his character design, but I also love his ridiculous twitching. (he's beautiful uwu)

Scraper: these are like a smaller, less aggressive/threatening version of another monster type in this game, called Missionaries. They are medium-sized, wearing dirty brown robes and a brown sack on their head.They also wear bloody rubber gloves. They wield tonfa-like weapons, with blades at the end(which they scrape together, giving them their name).
Symbolism- some people say that Scrapers are members of the Order(Silent Hill's cult). They can also be seen as a symbolism for abortion. "Scraper" could refer to the scraping of a fetus; and the rubber gloves/smock/mask could resemble surgical attire. The long blades on their weapons could be an exaggerated form of abortion tools.
~why I like them~ definitely the character design. And the possible abortion symbolism.
