Description
Following my previous attempt to work up a proper character design for Angry Fin, the titular character of Monster, I went back to the drawing board (having always previously depicted him as a shadowy scribble-creature). In the game universe, Fin is (though he doesn't realise it) an imaginary creature Catherine thought up after seeing a ball of yarn under her bed as a child (which is why Death appears to Fin as the Scissor Man). Accordingly, I tried for a much more literal interpretation of the character, actually made out of yarn. I'm not sure whether it looks a bit mummy-like, but I think the button eyes and stitched mouth work well; the eyes face slightly opposite directions, giving him a less overtly predatory look than in the first design, where he seemed much too threatening an enemy.

Angry Fin is AI-controlled for the first third of the game, then becomes player-controlled. In his levels, opening doors on his half of the screen closes them or creates some other obstacle on the other half, which you then have to find a way around as Catherine or Death in the second run through of the level. Fin is the same speed as Death and has the same combat limitations as Catherine, but can spool himself out to move horizontally over gaps.
