Scarlet and Asphyxia

These monsters appear in the game Silent Hill: Homecoming. This game was released for PS3, Xbox 360, and PC in America, 2008. The protagonist, Alex Shepherd, returns to his hometown of Shepherd's Glen after a supposed military discharge. Upon his arrival, he finds out that his father and younger brother, Joshua, are missing(also many other people in the town). 

Scarlet: the manifestation of  Doctor Martin Fitch's guilt over murdering his daughter, Scarlet. (he dismembered her with a scalpel and sacrificed her to appease the Order's god.) Doctor Fitch knew that she would have to be sacrificed, so he gave her the "perfect childhood". He spoiled her with love and material items, mostly dolls. Shortly after this monster appears, she bites Doctor Fitch's head off. 

Symbolism- her form is based on her love for dolls. She is the memory of Scarlet manifested from her father's guilt. Her rapidly beating heart(visible when some of her ceramic armor is broken off) could represent the trauma she experienced as she was getting mutilated. Her (sorta)disconnected joints represent her dismemberment. 

~why I like her~ uuuuuuuUUUUuuUUUHHhhhhhhhHHhHHH chARacTerR deSiGN?????? dude dude dude dude she's all spooky and weirdie and dollish and bloody and frickin awesome. 10/10.

Asphyxia: the vengeful/monstrous manifestation of Margaret Holloway's memories of her daughter, Nora. Margaret suffocated Nora and sacrificed her to the Order's god. Nora was an avid reader, her favorite book being Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. 

Symbolism- The name and appearance are representative of how Nora died. Asphyxia means suffocation/a deficit of oxygen. The numerous hands choking Asphyxia symbolizes how Nora was murdered. Asphyxia's multiple arms represent the Caterpillar in Alice(Nora's favorite character in the book). Her "scream" is similar to how the Caterpillar blows smoke from his hookah at Alice.

~why I like her~ chARACTer dESIgnnnn??? Dude she is super spooky. I really love how she's creepy and icky and yeee 10/10

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.
