Mumbler

Sewers
Mumblers are small, grotesque monsters that resemble headless teddy bears that appear in the original Silent Hill. They react strongly to light and make strange growling noises when they notice Harry Mason. They replaced the Grey Child monsters as seen in the original U.S. version, reason being that they looked too much like children and as a result, they were taken out of the European and Japanese installments.

Appearance 
Edit
Added by AlexShepherdMumblers are small creatures with a giant hole where the face should be. Their name is derived from the sound they make when approaching the player, which sounds like mumbling. Their claws serve as fingers, which can be used to deliver incredibly strong attacks; their method of attack is similar to that of Grey Children, in which they jump onto their victims legs, immobilizing them, while clawing at their legs. Though they move slowly, they make up for it in strength.
Symbolism Edit
The image of small menacing animals and small demons from fairy tales that Alessa Gillespie used to read.

Trivia Edit
- Mumblers have a varying role in the game, depending on the regional version being played. In the original version, Mumblers only appeared in the sewer in the later part of the story. The PAL version is radically different, with the Mumblers replacing the Grey Children in every part of the game. This was due to the Grey Children's resemblance to little children, which was chosen to be censored due to laws regarding the killing of children / child-like resemblances in a video game.
- Mumblers have also been unofficially known as 'Clawfingers' by the European community. It is not clear how this came came about, although it could easily be linked to a fan-based nickname.
