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.
