Hierophant

Summary
Type-B 05, codenamed "Hierophant," (ハイエロファント) was the second boss encountered in House of the Dead 2. It was a swimming, fish-like creature which attacked using a trident. AMS agents James Taylor and Gary Stewart first witness the monster on a television screen during a news report, telling of how an unidentified being had taken control of Sunset Bridge. Eventually, when the agents meet up with their contacts Amy Crystal and Harry Harris beside the bridge (the docks if the player does so), they are unexpectedly confronted by Hierophant.

The beast started his attacking process by slowly moving towards the agents in an attempt to slash at them with his trident. James and Gary could damage him by firing at his heart while it was exposed, and after taking damage, the Hierophant's movement gradually increased. After this, he began summoning Mofish to leap at the agents and attack; the agents had to shoot them down as quickly as possible and redirect their gunfire at the Hierophant's chest. When the creature stopped behaving in this way, he performed his most recognizable attack - he leaped into the air whilst holding his trident down, in an attempt to land on the agents and impale them. When in mid-air, the agents were forced to shoot his heart in order to knock him out of the air, or else they would take damage. After a grueling battle, the Hierophant was finally bested in combat and plunged into the water below, leaving his corpse floating on the surface.

The Hierophant was again encountered on the road towards DBR Headquarters, but was finished off there.

The Hierophant also appears as one of the Emperor's attacks.
