Feral
Description:
They appear as skinless, heavily muscled canines with fresh blood dripping from their bodies. As large dogs, they appear very powerful indeed. A strange feature of their heads is the fact that they have no ears or eyes.
Method of Attack:
They move very fast and attack by nipping at a character's hands or lunging at a character. If they strike a character with a lunge they will pin the character to the ground and bite at him/her violently until he/she shakes them off. Otherwise, they are very mobile and occasionally difficult to hit, especially in groups. They are commonly seen feeding on dead corpses and carrion of various sorts. They growl before attacking, roar during, yelp when hit and let out a high pitched whine when killed. They are most efficiently dispatched using a steel pipe.
Symbolism:
Ferals are highly representative of Alex's father, Adam Shepherd's, hunting hobbies, where he was seen to be skinning his kills. In fact, in a photo Alex finds, he sees his dog on a mat in that same hunting room. They may also be a nod to Eddie Dombrowski, who famously shot a dog to death, as the achievement "Eddie's Legacy" is obtained after killing one.
Reasons for Manifestation:
• Any of the reasons similar to the plight illustrated above.
Area:
• Rose Heights Cemetary
• Streets of Shepherd's Glen
• Streets of Silent Hill
