Needler

Overview

The Needler appears in Silent Hill: Homecoming and it vaguely resembles that of a mix between a human and a spider. Its head features nothing else other than two black eyes and a mouth and its location is actually between its bottom legs and not on the shoulders, on which there is nothing. Its hands and feet have been replaced by blades which it uses to walk and with which it makes a very distinct metallic noise when moving. The blades are also what it uses to slash and attack Alex, but it can attack by trying to bite as well. They have the ability to crawl along vertical walls and even on roofs at a very fast pace. All these features make it a very persistent and dangerous enemy, and is quite difficult to kill as it can easily block attacks.
The spider like qualities of this monster may be a manifestation born from Joshua's love of insects and arachnids.
