Creeper
Description:
The Creeper is a giant insect that moves with great speed and reacts strongly to light. They appear in both Silent Hill and Silent Hill 2. In Silent Hill 2, they are slightly smaller and have a stronger green tinge to their bodies.
Method of Attack:
Air Screamers' danger lies in their mobility. They're fairly fragile creatures, though landing a blow with a melee weapon is very difficult. As such, firearms are suggested for shooting them out of the air. To conserve ammo, it's recommended to flee from these creatures whenever possible. Listen for flapping wings and/or squawking sounds warning of their approach.
Symbolism:
In Silent Hill, the Creepers represent Alessa Gillespie's fear of insects. Likewise, in Silent Hill 2, their symbolism is also geared towards a general fear of insects. Due to the fact that they appear in both games, they may be a manifestation of the town itself rather than Alessa's specific influence. It could also symbolize the amount of power the town currently has due to James's influence. They could also represent the protagonists, small, like insects, compared to the immense power and fear instilled by the town and its many dangerous creatures.
Reasons for Manifestation: Insectophobia.
Area:
• Midwich Elementary School
• Alchemilla Hospital
• Streets
