• 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 referrence 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.
• 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. Plays a significant role in the character of Angela Orosco. Refers to the fact Angela was sexually abused by her father. Found in Silent Hill 2.
• Ghosts (Victims) - Walter Sullivan's victims; they cannot by killed. For further information on SH4's ghosts, see List of Silent Hill characters. Unlike in Silent Hill 1, they can kill you, and like to aim for your chest region. This attack is in referrence to the fact Walter cut out the hearts of the first ten victims.

• Zombie Doctors - Undead doctors wielding scalpels, possessed by some sort of parasite (can be seen wriggling on the back). Found in Silent Hill 1.
• Zombie Nurses - Undead nurse wielding a variety of weapons. In the first Silent Hill, the nurses were possessed by the same parasite as the doctors, attacked with syringes, and were dressed in somewhat old-fashioned attire. However, in Silent Hill 2, the nurses wear suggestive outfits, wield lead pipes and have heads that are devoid of any facial features that twitch rapidly. Fans have taken to calling this version the "Bobble Head Nurse". In Silent Hill 3, the nurses all have the same bizarre, badly made-up face, and some also carry revolvers.
• Zombie Patient - Undead hospital patients; they usually carry weapons, just like the nurses in the previous games. Makes burping noises when you hit them. Found in Silent Hill 4.

Gods 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, the 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 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, bound by cords to the room he occupied -- that was the greatest wish and desire of Walter, himself.
• Lobsel Vith - Was the yellow god born from the God to watch over mankind. Lobsel Vith does not appear in any of the games. Lobsel Vith has been rumoured to be Valtiel from Silent Hill 3, however this is fairly unlikely.
• Samael - The demon 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 - Was the red god born from the God to watch over mankind. Xulchilbara does not appear in any of the games. It has been rumoured that Xulchilbara is actually Pyramid Head from Silent Hill 2, possibly due to his first appearance in the game, where he has an ominous blood red glow. This is unlikely, however, because it was specifically stated by Konami that Pyramid Head was a creation of James' psyche.
