Description: The Floatstinger is a boss from Silent Hill and the mature form of the Twinfeeler, which Harry Mason previously fights at the Silent Hill Town Center. It is located atop the roof of the post office, across from Alchemilla Hospital. The Floatstinger's death shifts the Otherworld back to the Fog World.
Appearance
The Floatstinger's appearance is akin to a "macro-moth", which is a common term used for a "giant moth", excluding the size is exaggerated to form the challenge. Although it can't be directly linked to any discernible species, it does bear close resemblance to a variation of the Bombyx silk moth, otherwise known as the Bombyx mori moth, "mori" meaning "death" in Latin. This would be due to its large, heavy abdomen, comb-like antennae and similar appearance. The Bombyx silkworm (larvae) also resembles the Twinfeeler to an extent, supporting this possible theory.
Character
Although it takes the appearance of a moth, the Floatstinger's attacks consist of spewing motes of poison at long-range, and jabbing with its stinger at short-range, features that are uncharacteristic of moths.
It is usually recommended to attack the Floatstinger at a distance with firearms; though if ammo is scarce, it is possible to attack at close range with the axe, so long as Harry is constantly moving in order to avoid the stinger.
Symbolism
The Floatstinger's appearance is reminiscent of the insect specimens hanging on the walls of Alessa Gillespie's room in the Gillespie House.
The Floatstinger could also symbolize the concept of "transformation", similar to how part of Alessa's soul transformed into Cheryl Mason, or the transformation between the Otherworld and Fog World of the town.
