Level 33 - Puppet Nurse

Level 33, what do we have here?

 

 

In the Silent Hill franchise, monsters are manifested by the town of Silent Hill, which acts as a mirror of individuals' anxieties and fears. Due to the recurring themes of hospitalization, insanity and death, each game features, at some point, a trip to one of Silent Hill's two hospitals, Alchemilla (which houses the town's emergency room) and/or Brookhaven (which houses long-term patients and the mentally ill). Invariably, once inside the hospital, the player will encounter monsters manifested by the town which resemble deformed nurses.

 

In the original Silent Hill, they are called "Puppet Nurses". They are dark or blonde-haired women, and are seen wearing blue or green cardigans and white blouses with matching skirts, to resemble the attire worn by nurses before the adoption of scrubs. They are actually real nurses who worked at Alchemilla Hospital but became controlled by parasites due to God's powers, giving them a humpbacked appearance. They carry scalpels which they use to attack the player. They also have a male counterpart, "Puppet Doctors", who appear in this game only.
