The groans they make as they attack Harry is actually the sound of a child's laughter electronically slowed down. Found in Silent Hill 1.
 * Demon Dogs (Groaners/Worm Heads) - Fast, canine-like scavengers that look like skinned dogs in Silent Hill 1. In Silent Hill 3 the dogs have heads that split vertically in half, and are known as "Split Heads". The Split Heads are also bandaged and are reference to Heather's possible fear of hospitals. In Silent Hill 4, the dog-like creatures have long, prehensile tongues rather like umbilical cords that they use to drain their prey of blood; the canines, themselves, are a reference to young Walter's fear of dogs after he visited a pet shop as a boy and was nearly bitten by one.
 * Doormen (Abstract Daddy/Table Daddy) - Bulky and strong fusion of man and wood. Mainly resembles a table with the image of an assault played out on top of it.

 * Ghosts (Victims) - Walter Sullivan's victims; they cannot by killed. For further information on SH4's ghosts, see List of Silent Hill characters. Victims attack in a similar fashion that Walter used to kill his victims. They slowly float toward the player and when the player is vulnerable, it'll pierce their hands into your chest and attack your heart. Victims are one of the most dangerous enemies in Silent Hill 4. "With the exception of Victims 07 + 08 the following applies to all victims." They are 21 Victims in all. They possess the ability to hurt the player with screeching headaches simply by being around them. Victims are able to pass through walls which they use to their advantage to follow you throughout the whole game. Each Victim's strength, movement, appearance and frequency of showing up differs. Although they are invisible, they can be knocked out by a powerful blow or shot down with a rare silver bullet. The only weapon capable to permanently putting down are rare special swords. Victim 07 + 08 are the only Victims that do no appear as ghosts. They appear as a two headed cloaked monster, which can be destroy with normal means. Victim 11 is not considered an actual Victim. He cannot be killed nor can he be put down by the sword. Victim 11 is Walter Sullivan. He became the Victim of Assumption (the one who performs the ritual) by stabbing himself with a spoon which resulting in killing himself.

Divine Creatures in Silent Hill

 * The God - The unnamed God worshipped by the Silent Hill cult was, according to scripture, born from two humans and brought an end to the suffering of ancient man by taking away eternal life from humankind. She created two or more other gods to serve her, but died soon after, before She could create "Paradise".  In Silent Hill 3, Claudia Wolf invoked the power of the God, but was soon killed by Heather.  It has been further explained that the appearance of the God changes depending on the person who invokes his or her appearance, because the God only exists within the Otherworld, which in term has its appearance and rules determined by the "Incubus" of whomever looses it upon the world.  This is why Walter Sullivan's God in Silent Hill 4 looked very much like himself in a fetal state and sounded inhuman, bound by cords to the room he occupied -- that was the greatest wish and desire of Walter, himself, to be reunited within the womb of his apartment-mother.
 * Lobsel Vith - Was the yellow god born from the God to watch over mankind. Lobsel Vith does not appear in any of the games as far as known.
 * Samael - The Incubus harbored within Alessa Gillespie that acts as the destructive hand of God, killed by Harry in Silent Hill 1. It is speculated whether or not Samael exists, or is just a lie told to Harry by Dahlia so she could trick him into helping her. Why she believed telling him this would get him to help her is anyone's guess, since Harry does not appear to be heavily versed in religion and demonology. In any case, it appears Dahlia was in fact telling the truth, the mark that appears throughout Silent Hill is that of Samael's, NOT the mark of Metatron. The Mark of Samael is a triangle within a twin circle that is filled with symbols - the mark we see in the games - whilst Metatron is a series of interconnected circles and lines that bear no resemblance to the mark we actually see.
 * Xuchilbara - Is also called Valtiel, An explanation of the mix-upps between Xuchilbara, Pyramid Head and Valtiel is further down...

Valtiel - Is a demon from Silent Hill 3 and appears at several places, Mostly in the Another World. Valtiel is called the Angel Guardian of God, Wich is true since he is following Heater around and she is pregnant with God. He follows her all the way to the ending scene and does not attack her and if Heather dies he can be seen dragging her body into the darkness to get God out of her and quickly find another host or revive her with his godly powers by taking her back to the previous Halo of the Sun mark and in real life, Reviving you to your last save. At end Claudia Wolf walks onto a hole where Valtiel grabs her and pulls togheter the parts of God into one and then swiftly dissappears after doing his duty. During the time Valtiel is found turning a red valve. He turns the valve to respresent the transition between the worlds and also the cycle of death and rebirth that Valtiel assists. His name is a combination between the words Valet (One who attends to) and the suffix El (Meaning "God"). He has got the Seal of Metatron on both of his shoulders and can be described as an almost human creature who twitches a lot especially around his head and can climb on walls. Many people belive that Valtiel and Pyramid head is the same person but they are not. Pyramid Head is modelled after the cult's executioners during the civil war, Only with a metal helmet to make him more scary. The original executioners wore red triangular hoods. This can be seen on Jimmy Stone in the Sullivan Victim Files in Silent Hill 4, So in fact both Valtiel and Pyramid Head are the same human like monster, The same shape, But they are diffrent persons. Pyramid Head is a human shape monster with executioner clothes, Just like Pyramid Head 2 and numer 3 and 4 are also human creatures with the same outfit, But none of theese or Valtiel are the same. Valtiel are a human shape demon but not an Executioner like the others sent to kill the intruder. The Executioner's are priests who are members of the Valtiel sect and therefore are dressing like him. They are not the same demon, But the Executioners are trying to be like thier god, Valtiel. Yes, Valtiel do is a god and are not controlled by anyone, Not Claudia and not God (He is protecting God and are not controlled) and are The Red God: Xuchilbara.
