* RuleOfSymbolism: Alessa was an avid reader of Creator/ArthurConanDoyle's ''Literature/TheLostWorld'', so this monster resembles a Pteranodon in reference to it. The humanoid legs and torso, as well as its reddish color, could also be a nod to demons and religious interpreations of evil entities, tying back to the hell that was Alessa's life in Silent Hill.

** Another name often used to it is just "Holy Mother", with an entire sect of the Order dedicated to the title and worshipping it as a motherly saint who will descend through a conjurer performing a ritual to summon it. Given that one said conjurer was [[SerialKiller Walter Sullivan]]...
** ''Downpour'' hints that its true name might be "Kwekwaxawe" ("The Raven"), which was a deity worshipped by the Native-American people that once inhabited the land upon which the town was built years later.
