Pyramid Head
In Silent Hill 2, after receiving a letter from his deceased wife, Mary, and arriving in the foggy town of Silent Hill to search for her, the game's protagonist and primary player character, James Sunderland, encounters Pyramid Head several times over the course of the game.
He first appears from behind a gate, making no attempt to attack James.
Later, in an apartment, James walks in on Pyramid Head killing two Mannequins—creatures made of two sets of feminine hips and legs.
Terrified, James hides in a closet and shoots Pyramid Head with a handgun several times, causing him to leave.
When James asks another character, Eddie, about the monster, Eddie denies knowing about Pyramid Head.
Later, near a flooded stairway, James witnesses Pyramid Head killing another creature, and Pyramid Head attempts to kill him.
After a few minutes, sirens sound in the distance and Pyramid Head descends the stairway, removing the water.
James does not meet him again until in Brookhaven Hospital, where Pyramid Head knocks him through a safety railing and he falls, sustaining injuries.
Pyramid Head does not pursue him or continue the attack.
Later, he stalks James' companion Maria, who closely resembles his wife Mary, through a lengthy corridor.
As James flees into an elevator, the doors shut before she can join him.
He struggles to open the doors to save her, but Pyramid Head kills her.
However, in the labyrinth beneath Toluca Prison, James finds her alive and unharmed in a locked cell.
Before trying to seduce him, she reminisces about a trip that only he and Mary took to a hotel in Silent Hill.
He leaves, promising to find a way to free her, and discovers that Pyramid Head walks a corridor nearby, now carrying a spear.
Afterwards, James reaches Maria's side of the cell, but finds her dead.
Pyramid Head makes his final appearance just before the final boss, where two Pyramid Heads take part in the encounter.
They kill Maria yet again and, after pursuing James around the room for a while, both commit suicide.
Pyramid Head makes a significant appearance in 2009's Silent Hill Homecoming, but his role is limited to non-interactive scenes.
The "Bogeyman", as he is referred to in the game, appears only twice to the game's main protagonist Alex Shepherd: once in the Grand Hotel in Silent Hill; and, much later, in a church, where he executes Alex's father by splitting him in half.
His last appearance is in a possible ending to the game: Alex wakes up in a wheelchair as two Pyramid Heads appear, each with part of a helmet, which they use to turn Alex into one of them.
After this ending is played, the player obtains the Bogeyman's costume for Alex to wear.
Mindful of Pyramid Head's role in Silent Hill 2, the developers chose to include him as "the embodiment of a myth [that] parents started to keep the children out of trouble" and "the accretion of the activities going on in the town of Shepherd’s Glen."
Pyramid Head appears as a boss in the 2007 first-person shooter Silent Hill: The Arcade, as well as Silent Hill: The Escape but with a composite deisgn with the butcher, and as a super-deformed selectable character in the 2008 Nintendo DS title New International Track & Field, an installment of the Track & Field series and another spin-off Krazy-kart racers alonside Robbie the Rabbit.
The 2007 game Silent Hill: Origins also included a similar monster named "The Butcher", whom the protagonist occasionally encounters killing other monsters and a painting of Pyramid Head is seen in the burning house of Alessa.
Pyramid Head appears in the "Surprise!" ending of 2012's Silent Hill: Downpour, along with various characters from the franchise.
Pyramid Head's most recent appearance was in 2012's Silent Hill: Book of Memories, where he is a monster that can spawn randomly to fight the player.
Pyramid Head appeared as a costume for the Playstation home.
