Description: The Flesh Lip, also known as Lustful Lips, is a monster and a boss encountered in Silent Hill 2 by James Sunderland. James meets 3 of them after Laura tricks him, locking him inside examining room 2 on the 1st floor of Brookhaven Hospital. After defeating all 3 Flesh Lips, James is transported to the Otherworld hospital.

                                                                                     Appearance

It appears as a bloated, malformed mass of meat and flesh with human-like limbs jutting out from its top bottom, suspended in a rusty metal frame. A pair of large, smacking lips appear on the bottom of the creature, and it attacks by strangling the player with its legs. In the cut-scene before the player regains control, it can be noticed that the Flesh Lips emit an animalistic groaning sound.

In the final battle of Silent Hill 2, Mary Shepherd-Sunderland/Maria turns into a creature that loosely resembles the Flesh Lips.

                                                                                       Character

Flesh Lips are very slow-moving, albeit due to the small quarters James must fight them in, this doesn't make them any less dangerous. Flesh Lips may also increase their pace by swinging their legs instead of subtly rocking them.

If they are allowed to swing near to James, they will grab and strangle him with their feet. They can also simply bash James with the side of their cage for a small amount of damage.

The best strategy is to blast them with the shotgun before they get too close. Each hanger will die after about 2-3 shots each, depending on the difficulty level. However, aiming up at the Flesh Lips may be difficult, so distance and being aware of when James is locked onto a Flesh Lip is important. If James has no shotgun bullets, the steel pipe also works, although it is probably better to use the handgun.

When a Flesh Lip is defeated, it stops moving and lifts its feet up. After the the 2 Flesh Lips are defeated, a 3rd, and faster, one will appear.

                                                                                        Symbolism

The cage around it could represent a bed, and the "mouth" located on the abdomen symbolizes Mary's mouth. The monster's lips are reflections of Mary's mouth which  abused James with cruel words during her last days.

The cage-like contraption each Flesh Lip is held within could also be symbolic of how Mary was confined to a bed in her terminal illness, as this greatly limited her freedom.

The creature's lips could possibly represent a female labia.
