a.k.a. The Hilltop Horror
I think we all know who I'm talking about. He was frightening at first. A writhing mass of flesh and blood startling our radios and hissing at us like a demonic serpent thirsty for our blood.
Not to mention, he was in the way.
And yet, why is it that this monstrous beast, a creature that by all rights, should have sent Heather screaming for Daddy the first time she saw it, is nothing more than Silent Hill's equivalent of a harmless little puppy dog? Come on, folks, is this not the biggest wimp we've seen in the series thus far?
In the fairy tale, the monster took out all the King's knights before the Priestess killed it. So you would expect this version to do something too. A tongue, a tentacle...biting off Heather's head if she got too close. I don't know. Just something, anything, besides standing there hissing at us. After a while, even Heather gets used to it. I wouldn't be surprised if she stuck her tongue out or gave it the finger every time she passed by that thing in the story.
I can almost imagine Heather and Alessa (yes, in a separate body, damn it!) sitting there all day throwing peanuts and spare change at it. Want to make a wish? Heck, why not bring in Claudia and Vincent too? Have them do a little "you can't get me, naner naner naner" dance in front of it. It's not like the thing's actually going to do anything. Hell, you might as well have Heather put on the Princess Heart costume and tease it with glimpses of her underwear.
What's the point of this rant? I don't know. My train of thought can be weird at times.
Just kidding. Isn't the point obvious? Why, oh why, does that monster have to stand there and just do NOTHING! Why can't it do something?! We already have a guy who does nothing. His name is Valtiel. You know, the freak who hangs around all day in the Otherworld spinning valves and playing yo-yo with the nurses? We don't need another slacker.
But I digress. Maybe it's just me.
