Mannequin
Description:
These monsters consist of a feminine human torso, clad in what looks like a leotard made from putrid skin, and legs, upon which rest two more legs standing upright, though they noticeably lack feet.
Method of Attack:
The top pair of legs are used for striking while the bottom pair are used for walking. When on the attack, they rub their upper legs together like an insect's mandibles. The creatures stand completely still at plain sight, like statues, and react strongly to the flashlight's light, springing to life and starting to attack, but only when the light strikes them from a relatively short distance, in contrast to most other creatures which react to light even when they are far from the light's source.
A mannequin will also come to life when a character steps within a radius of about three to five feet around it, even with the flashlight turned off. Although they are not overly strong creatures, they may be hard to detect in dark environments due to their immobility, which can trick the character's vision, making mannequins blend in with the environment, and they also have the advantage of stealth, as the radio will not emit any static to warn the player of a mannequin's presence until the mannequin moves.
Symbolism:
The Mannequin is a manifestation of James' natural urges and inclinations, as frustrated by his wife's ailment.
Reasons for Manifestation:
• Any of the reasons similar to James' plight illustrated above.
Area:
• Apartments
• Brookhaven Hospital
• Lakeview Hotel
• Streets of the Silent Hill
