The Twinfeeler is a boss from Silent Hill, and the larval form of the later-seen Floatstinger.
After an Otherworld transition at the Green Lion Antiques store, Harry Mason looks for a way to make it to the Resort Area and deviates through the Silent Hill Town Center. When Harry reaches the second floor, he encounters two smaller Twinfeelers feeding on a corpse. However, when Harry attempts to walk to it, the catwalk drops and Harry falls into the previously unreachable gun shop, which a larger Twinfeeler inhabits.
Appearance and symbolism[]
The wounded Twinfeeler in pain.
The Twinfeeler is an oversized moth larva with purple-colored blood.
Alessa Gillespie had a number of insect specimens in her room, these including butterflies and moths. The Twinfeeler is a manifestation of one of these insects.[1]
Character[]
Harry and the Twinfeeler.
The player can find the rifle in the same room that the boss fight takes place in. It is a good way to kill the boss, but there is a scarcity of ammo available to the player at the time.
The Twinfeeler is capable of spewing harmful green liquid, perhaps acid. This monster can also attack by burrowing itself in the sand and bursting out in an attempt to strike Harry; although, it is possible for the Twinfeeler to damage Harry by simply barging into him.
After the Twinfeeler has taken enough damage, it apparently curls up and dies, an animalistic survival trait that appears in multiple species of fauna. Shortly after however, the Twinfeeler springs back to life and escapes the arena by crashing through a wall, inadvertently making up Harry's own escape. Later on, after visiting Alchemilla Hospital, Harry encounters the Twinfeeler in its full adult form, the Floatstinger, a moth-like creature he battles and defeats atop a water tower in front of Alchemilla. Its death brings back a shift to the Fog World.
Behind the scenes[]
Twinfeeler was designed by Naoko Sato.[2]
Trivia[]
- Before the floor collapses and the boss is fought, the player can ready a firearm and kill the smaller Twinfeelers, causing the radio to stop emitting static.
