Description: Larval Stalkers are dark translucent ghost-like entities in Silent Hill.

They appear to be a premature form of the Stalker, which, like the Larval Stalker, is partially invisible, but has the shape of the similar Grey Child, and can damage the player.

                                                                            Appearance

Larval Stalkers appear to be the size of a toddler and are black albeit translucent, child-like ghosts. Curiously, they seem to have a short, pointy tail.

                                                                              Character

One may be duped into believing the tiny ghosts may cause damage, considering they sometimes walk straight towards Harry Mason, but they are completely harmless. However, their presence still causes the radio to emit static. Larval Stalkers will slowly walk around the room and make squeaking noises before eventually disappearing. They cannot be killed, although they will stumble and vanish once the flashlight beam is directed at them for an extended period of time.

                                                                              Symbolism

The Larval Stalker evokes memories of Alessa Gillespie being bullied and teased during school, where she was told go to home and kill herself by her classmates. This is supported by their translucent nature, which can be seen as symbolic of Alessa believing her genuine identity is invisible to her classmates, and instead is merely a source of darkness (hence the Larval Stalkers being of black coloration) in their eyes.

They also have a tendency to walk towards Harry and sometimes continuously pace around him, as if a child clinging to its parent. This could be representative of Alessa's yearning for her comfort during her torturous youth, especially when Harry sees a flashback of Dahlia and her daughter in their home.
