The Romper is a powerful apelike monster in Silent Hill that attacks with a body blow and pins down its victim. These monsters leap or "romp" around at high speeds while laughing dementedly, making them hard to avoid.

Strategy 
Edit
It is best to avoid them. If necessary, the shotgun and the rifle are the best weapons against them. However, given time and patience, the player can take them out with a Handgun. Melee confrontation is very strongly unadvised, as the Romper can simply jump onto Harry before he can get a hit in.
The player can also turn the flashlight off and try to sneak behind the romper. A successful surprise attack with the hammer can dispatch a romper in a single hit even on the hard-difficulty level.
If Harry Mason is being pursued by them, running in a "zig-zag" like manner back and forth will confuse them and keep them at bay. Running in a straight line will lead to Harry being more likely to be grappled.
If Harry is thrust onto the ground and is being attacked, repeatedly tapping the 
button and wiggling the analog stick will get them off faster and lessen Harry's damage.
Symbolism Edit
The Romper is a manifestation of Alessa Gillespie's fear of adults and her dislike of people older than her.
