Bottom is a monster from Silent Hill 4: The Room that appears during the second visit to South Ashfield Heights.
Appearance
Bottoms are naked, with their faces horribly deformed and their bodies being a cancerous, lumpy, deformed mass of flesh. Bottoms also have a face dangling from the bottom of their torso, hence their name, which bears strong resemblance to the Gum Head. Like the Twin Victim, they stand on a pair of giant hands which are fairly normal in form.
Character
They only attack Henry Townshend if he gets close; otherwise they merely stand stationary, pointing at him and whispering "receiver" over and over. Bottoms are slightly more dangerous than Twin Victims and are much faster and tenacious.
Symbolism
In the Official Strategy Guide by Piggy Bank Interactive, it is stated that the Bottom was created by Walter Sullivan's memory and disdain for his parents for abandoning him. They are only encountered in South Ashfield Heights. The Bottoms say "receiver" like the Twin Victims, which is Henry's role as the 21st Sacrament.
Trivia
- According to Masahiro Ito, the Bottom was designed by Jun Inoue.[1]
- Bottom is one of the several monsters that are conscious and can speak in their monstrous forms, the others being Mary, Prisoners, Twin Victim, Leonard Wolf, Momma, Steel Guardian, Bloodied Bag, Monocle Man, Alessa, Lucas, Ben, and Karen. Note that the Sad Daddy could speak only in its human manifestation.
