The Bubble Head Nurse is a recurring monster in the Silent Hill video game franchise, first appearing in Silent Hill 2.

She is a manifestation of James Sunderland's subconscious desires and repressed guilt, representing his sexual frustration and the suffering of his deceased wife, Mary. Her distorted, sensualized appearance with a tightly bound head symbolizes both attraction and the denial of intimacy.

The Bubble Head Nurse is typically depicted as a female humanoid figure with a heavily bandaged or otherwise distorted head, restricting movement and obscuring facial features. She often wears a revealing nurse's uniform and wields a pipe or other blunt weapon.

In gameplay, she serves as an aggressive melee enemy, often found in hospitals and other medical facilities. Her presence underscores the themes of guilt, sexuality, and repressed memories central to the Silent Hill narrative. She has become one of the most iconic and recognizable creatures from the series.
