Telcast

Schism (Telcast)
The Schism is a tall, pale, gangly, humanoid monster seen in Silent Hill: Homecoming. Their most distinct features are their head, which is elongated and ends in a cruel blade, and a single elongated arm. Its mouth runs down its entire head, and it splits vertically, much like several other monsters in previous entries in the series. It has a set of dull teeth that run down the entire length of its head and when its mouth opens its tongue can be seen flailing about. However, it usually just uses its bladed snout and wicked claws to attack. Alex Shepherd first encounters them in the police station.
