The Bubble Head Nurses are female monsters in Silent Hill 2. They appear frequently in Brookhaven Hospital and in the dark streets of Silent Hill.

CharacterEdit

They wear provocative attire, exposing cleavage and sporting miniskirts. Their heads face downward, appearing swollen and bloodied and covered in gauze, convulsing violently as they wobble toward James Sunderland. Their only visible facial feature are their bloody, exposed jaws and teeth[1]. The Nurses move in an awkward manner, their legs carrying them in a shaky and crooked fashion, making them out to be slow opponents, yet they are surprisingly fast on the attack. While the Nurses in the fog world take on a pale white tone, most of the Nurses in the Otherworld have an orange-brown tone of color. These darker Nurses lack the bloody mouths; instead having what looks like a transparent film over the nose and mouth[2]. They also have parasites on their backs[3], similar to the Puppet Nurses in the first game.

They emit shrieks and gurgles when approaching. These monsters carry their own melee weapons, usually pipes similar to James'. They are fairly aggressive and will surround James if he encounters more than one in an area. However, if they come in close contact with one another and decide to attack, chances are they'll knock out one of their own close by.

Symbolism Edit

The Nurses are manifested by the mind of James, combining his anxieties surrounding his wife's terminal illness and the sexual deprivation that came with it, hence the risqué clothing worn by the monsters.

The Nurses' lack of facial features could represent James' unsure feelings about Maria, as they are encountered shortly after he meets her; it could also be linked to Mary's illness.
