Demon Child

Location(s):
Midwich Elementary School, Nightmare School, Lakeside Amusement Park.
Appearance:
A small, pale, deformed-looking child with a knife in its hand. Its head is somewhat molded as part of its body, without a neck. Looks like a combination of a small child and E.T., except with a much smaller head.
Strategy:
These demons are not only deadly and disturbing, they move quite quickly for their size. These creatures are only found in Midwich and are rather abundant. Demon Children will walk towards you and dive at you with their knives, pinning you down for a few seconds. This attack is very damaging and fighting is always necessary, since it's very hard to run past these little kids. The Handgun works very well in dealing with these Demon Children and stops their movement for a brief moment after every other shot. The Steel Pipe works very well if you learn how to use it properly. Once a Demon Child is found, let it come towards you, and the second it dives towards you to stab you, quickly jump back (Down + Square) and then whack it -- repeat this until it is dead.
Suggested Weapon(s):
The Steel Pipe works great if you use the strategy above, but when dealing with multiple enemies, things get quite difficult. Use the Handgun if you have a lot of ammo or are fighting multiple Demon Children.
