Numb Body
Description:
The Numb Body is a relatively featureless, bipedal creature that appears in various sizes. They resemble tadpole-like creatures covered in bluish, pale skin which splits and cracks constantly. It moves with only two legs, which end in deformed, toe-like digits. Their heads only have a single hole in it, from which they presumably see, and nothing else. They make moaning sounds similar to an infant's cries, especially after being struck down. The larger ones make more of a roar than a cry, showing they have grown stronger.
Method of Attack:
They are not very dangerous alone, simply attacking by ramming their heads into the characters to damage them. However, they have a tendency to appear in numbers and will quickly surround her as she deals with one at a time. The larger variants aren't much more dangerous, though they both give and take slightly more damage, making them harder to kill.
Symbolism:
Its name is derived from its slow and clumsy movements and the fact that its body appears pale as though frozen. It appears undeveloped as to represent the premature state of God in Heather's womb. Their front end is phallic, possibly portraying a p***s to touch on the motherhood theme, or it could be showing something like an infant's head coming out of a woman's v****a (see why only the legs are there, and no arms or any body part). The gross look of this creature, with the second meaning, may also symbolize the physical pain of giving birth. They appear frequently early in the game, filling Heather's mind with thoughts of motherhood and impregnation and then stop appearing when Heather decides to go to Silent Hill and discovers that she will birth God.
Reasons for Manifestation:
• Any of the reasons similar to the plight illustrated above.
Area:
• Central Square Shopping Center
• The Underpass
• Hazel Street Station
