Pyramid Head Design Origins
The hulking, mannequin loving psychopath known as Pyramid Head has come to define the Silent Hill series. His design came from the director’s desire to have an enemy with a hidden face. So the giant metal pyramid was designed to mask the characters head, and also imply the possibility of immense pain. And of all the creatures in Silent Hill 2, Pyramid Head is the only one to have a distinctly masculine design, setting him apart from the hordes of writhing monsters.
