Pyramid Head
A character from the Silent Hill line of videogames. He takes the form of a large human with a angular pyramid shaped head. Like every enemy in these games, he is deeply symbolic - In his most famous appearance in the second game he represents the protagonist's guilt over killing his wife, even though he did so in euthanasia as an act of love.
He will turn up frequently, and is unkillable and very dangerous. He carries a large knife which the player can steal. Fan reception to the character has been overwhelmingly positive, praising the deep symbolism and the character's unnerving and original design.
