Hierophant (House of the Dead)

==Summary==
Type-B 05, codenamed "Hierophant", (ハイエロファント) was the second boss encountered in House of the Dead 2. It was a swimming, fish-like creature which attacked using a trident. AMS agents James Taylor and Gary Stewart first witness the monster on a television screen during a news report, telling of how an unidentified being had taken control of Sunset Bridge. Eventually, when the agents meet up with their contacts Amy Crystal and Harry Harris beside the bridge (the docks if the player does so), they are unexpectedly confronted by Hierophant.
