Pyramid Head, also known as the Red Pyramid Thing, is a monster (and in two cases, a duo of monsters) appearing in Silent Hill 2 as arguably the main antagonist. Pyramid Head is one of the most well-known and iconic monsters in the series.
In Silent Hill: Homecoming, a monster known as the Bogeyman closely resembles Pyramid Head, which furthers the theory that he has multiple incarnations and is frequently associated with feelings of intense remorse.
He is in both of the Silent Hill films as Red Pyramid, and appears in other various Silent Hill media.
They are usually portrayed as, at the most basic, violent monsters. A deeper meaning given to them explains their existences as punishers and executioners. In Silent Hill 2, one Pyramid Head proves his acts of violence are not aimed solely at humans, as he has also brought harm to the other creatures that inhabit Silent Hill.
