Robbie the Rabbit is an anthropomorphic rabbit doll that has made appearances in many of the Silent Hill games. In some of his appearances, his mouth is covered with blood. For the most part, his appearance seems to serve little more than to provide an ambiguous level of unease to the player, due to the odd nature of his existence within the world of Silent Hill, his bright colors compared to the rust brown and dark red of everything else, and his recurring cameos. Most fans believe him to be sentient and believe that he is "watching" the player. This theory is not completely unfounded; the sight of Robbie staring at one is enough to unnerve any player.

Robbie's character could be seen either as an in-joke, a homage to the many horror films that depict bloodied rabbits as nightmarish killers, or it could even be an element of the town itself. An allusion to Silent Hill's dark sense of humor would be fitting as many of the game's plots involve the town's children in some aspect. It's possible he is simply there as a plot device to help tie each game together in a small, yet memorable way.

Appearances Edit

Silent Hill 3Edit

Robbie's first appearance is in Silent Hill 3, where he is revealed to be a mascot for the Lakeside Amusement Park. Large models, possibly costumes, of Robbie can be found slumped in various areas of the park as if dead. It isn't quite clear whether or not there is a person, alive or dead, inside, or if the mascot is sentient. Robbie's 'corpse' can be seen many times while exploring the amusement park and he can also be seen as a doll in the souvenir store. Examining the tourist information scattered throughout the amusement park reveals that Robbie is one of its four animal mascots, along with Kathy the Kitty, Huey the Horse and Dawn the Duck. Heather Mason can also unlock a Robbie t-shirt to wear. [1] He also appears as the icon for the game's save file on a PlayStation 2 memory card, which shows him running, or, perhaps more appropriately, chasing.

Silent Hill 4: The RoomEdit

In Silent Hill 4: The Room, a Robbie the Rabbit doll is sitting on a bed belonging to Eileen Galvin. [2] While he isn't seen actually moving, he does change posture once Eileen is rushed to the hospital. He is then turned toward the player, pointing at Henry Townshend with a menacing expression. [3] A hot-air balloon of his head can also be seen outside of Henry's window, which, for unknown reasons, has its mouth bloodied. [4] Cynthia Velasquez also has a tattoo of Robbie, only visible when she is wearing her alternate costume. [5]

In the Walter Sullivan Victim Files, Miriam Locane's silhouette is seen holding a Robbie the Rabbit doll.

Silent Hill: The ArcadeEdit

In Silent Hill: The Arcade, Robbie is an enemy that appears in groups at Lakeside Amusement Park. They have squeaky, high pitched laughs that can be heard before attacking the player. Aside from the the noticeable absence of blood around his mouth, Robbie Wields a small variety of weapons, which include throwing axes, chainsaws and shotguns. Because The Arcade takes place before Silent Hill 3, it can be assumed that The Arcade is the reason for the bloody costume corpses in Silent Hill 3. Disturbingly, Robbie's signature 'bloody mouth' from Silent Hill 3 may be Robbie 'devouring' his victims; however, the 'bloody mouths' motif bares specificance to the symbolism of Silent Hill 3, so is unlikely to be the case. In further connections to Silent Hill 3, a number of Robbies can be seen riding the Happy Carousel, which the players must defeat to progress, (similar to the horses.) Robbie also appears in the UFO ending's credits, where he is seen playing an arcade game. [6]

Silent Hill: HomecomingEdit

In Silent Hill: Homecoming, he is once again a doll. Alex Shepherd is required to retrieve the doll, which is stated to be a toy belonging to his brother, Joshua. When Alex asks what Josh is doing there, Josh says that he is looking for Robbie, which he has lost. It is here he poses as an interactive obstacle; failure to pull him correctly from a bloody hole in the wall results in Alex's arm being severed. But after Alex retrieves Robbie, Josh runs away. He makes a reappearance later as a key to opening a door. The doll is not the instigator of these events, however.

Silent Hill: The EscapeEdit

Robbie acts as a tutorial guide for the game.

Silent Hill: RevelationEdit

Director Michael J Bassett has confirmed on his blog that Robbie will make an appearance in Silent Hill: Revelation, the sequel to the 2006 Silent Hill film.

Silent Hill: DownpourEdit

Robbie appears in the game as a Silent Hill artifact in the side mission Digging Up the Past.

Cameos in other games Edit

  • In the Wii game, Elebits, there are a few objects portraying Robbie that are scattered throughout the amusement park levels. The in-game description of the Robbie costume indicates "He loves ketchup. (That's not blood!)".
  • In the online game Metal Gear Online bundled with Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, a mask of Robbie that covers the whole head is a downloadable reward for those who earn enough "Reward points."
  • In the hack-and-slash game The Sword of Etheria, Robbie costumes can be unlocked (and bought) by a player as costume for their characters.
  • In the Bishi Bashi arcade game.
  • In Konami's Krazy Kart Racing, which also features Pyramid Head. [7]
  • Robbie appears as a single full bodied costume for PlayStation Home, for both male and female avatars.

TriviaEdit

  • Concept art suggests Robbie was originally called "Tommy." [8]
  • Recent reports about the upcoming Silent Hill: Revelation film say that nearly a 100 Robbie dolls were seen on set so far
  • It should be noted that the Generator Rex episode "Breach" features a large, pink rabbit doll in one room of the character Breach's dollhouse. This, combined with the pervading fog of the episode's town, it's inability to escape from, and the character of Rex's comments of how alone he felt while there mean the episode was most likely a homage to the Silent Hill franchise.
