## Summary

**Pyramid Head** or **Red Pyramid Thing** is a monster (or in some cases multiple monsters) that debuted in *Silent Hill 2* as one of the primary antagonists. He acts as a manifestation of James Sunderland's grief and desire to be punished (although he makes plenty of other appearances later in the saga). As a whole, Pyramid Head is a very violent monster who stalks many key locations of Silent Hill armed with the Great Knife, an oversized knife that can be easily mistaken for a sword. A deeper meaning given to him/them explains their existences as deliverers of punishment and executioners of sinful humans. In *Silent Hill 2*, one Pyramid Head proves his acts of aggression are not aimed solely at humans, as he has also brought harm to the other creatures that inhabit Silent Hill.

## Feats

* Easily the most iconic antagonist in the Silent Hill franchise
* Is the embodiment of James Sunderland's guilt and the executioner of punishment for all who enter the town
* Killed Maria on three separate occasions
* Outright slaughters the lesser monsters in Silent Hill
* Lifts and wields the Great Knife in a single hand. It was calculated to be this heavy
* Stalked James Sunderland throughout Silent Hill
* Was only killed by James embracing his guilt

Destructive Capacity: **Wall Level**(Far superior to James Sunderland, at one point sending him though a fence with a casual strike, Cut through a metal gate with the Great Knife before smashing it apart, can cut humans in half, ultimately able to impale himself with a spear)

Striking Strength: **Wall Class**(Can casually cut through humans and monsters alike with casual swings)

Lifting Strength: **Peak Human** (Carries the Great Knife [Which weighs this much] and can support it's weight plus the weight of a full grown man in a single hand)

Range: **Extended Melee Range** (His Great Knife and spear are around the same size as him).

Intelligence: **Unknown**. Pyramid Head and his clones seem to have a basic level of intelligence in order to coordinate but he can be very animalistic and absent minded when killing.

## Weaknesses

* Great Knife significantly impedes it's mobility (Spear removes this concern however)
* If the person admits to their guilt and grows past the need to be punished, Pyramid Head will be compelled to kill itself
