Discussions about the Entity's realm

How a Dead by Daylight Movie/Tv Show could work
Now, this is something i have been thinking up for awhile now, and i think i have managed to finally be able to think of how BHVR could make this work, I would also like to make it apparent that if they do decide to do something like this, that i will be contacted as i do know how to make stories and i specialize in said…
What is the killer's red glow?
curious
Soooo...?
Are the only requirements for survivors to get pulled by the entity to be: -lost -near death -have high hope -be at a specific place which has connection with the entity?
What is the actual Plague's source?
Diseases can come from many things, Bacteria, Viruses, and Fungi are just a few. With this being said, what do you guys think the Plague actually is?
Do survivors remember the trials?
do the survivors remember the trials? the entity makes a “new” version of survivors once they die on hook and get sent back to the campfire and in that case wouldn’t it be wise to the entity to erase their memories so they are always hopeful of the trials and surviving. But that wouldn’t make sense for the survivors that…
What is Vigo's last name?
If they released any info on it because I noticed that ranger medkits quote has VK in it, Vigo K could be the full name without full last name
Adept Plague wording...
For all adept trophies it mentions the killers gender. For Legion it says "their" though. I noticed just now it says that for the Plague too. Is this just an oversight or does that mean something? Just asking dont have a meltdown.
Crows are the Entities workers, and they're lazy.
I always thought it was weird that crows were on every map. How are these living creatures getting here? This realm changes constantly, it's not stable enough for them to just live here. And the entity brings all things to it's realm (the devs referred to the entity as a "he" recently on a stream, but I still think of the…
Are the survivors doomed to never escape?
Like, for good? It seems they just end up back at the campfire every time they overcome a trial.
Does the Entity alter the killers' sizes?
So I was wondering why the Trapper, Huntress, Plague, Wraith and so on are extremely tall. And I remember the devs might have said that the killers are over 7 feet tall. And I doubt the Entity deliberately chooses killers who all happen to be over 7 feet. Then it hit me. The Shape is based on the first Halloween movie, and…
Can't access the wiki or game but...
It seems like the line between our world and the Entity's realm is bleak in the Trapper's last location. Since teens that have explored the area seem to be able to hear (maybe see) generators moving even when there was no conceivable reason for them to activate. And I believe there were rumors of being able to hear a…
Was Entity involved in massive disasters? Such the holocaust? Or secretly apart of a ancient cult?
If the Entity feeds off of hope woundn't the holocaust and jonestown and detroit. (jk about the last one) but really I mean those places would be a golden corral. Can the Entity not feed outside of the realm it's in? If so why doesn't the entity brainwash for example a nazi to bring jews through a portal. I know it sounds…
Which Survivors Are Good At Running The Killer.
I have done some look into each survivors backstory and i have come together with how each survivor is in terms of getting chased and keeping the killer busy. How i will do this is by going through their backstory and then determining the amount of gens I think said survivor can hold the killer off for. This will go in…
Sweetest Killer
DEVS PLEASE ANSWER ME THIS!!! Which killer doesn't want to kill simply because they're nice. You answered which one doesn't Wanna do it because they're stubborn but which killer just doesn't wanna kill them because they're nice
Gas Heaven Mysterious Meat Chunk
I was exploring Gas Heaven after 3 of the 4 survivors DC'd when I found this weird thing in the fridges. Does anyone have any idea what it is?
Exactly why did the entity or whoever put Generators down?
Title Discuss
Exactly why are survivors sent to the realm?
Is it because some are full of hope? Or is it something more
Can People Have Kids in The Entity?
Title says it all, can a female survivor (...or killer?) get pregnant and have a kid in the Entity? Survivors can at least talk to each other at the campfire, so I imagine that out of trial the survivors are allowed to develop interpersonal relationships. The Entity may block these relationships if it gets too far, but…
The plague with killers
the killers can also catch the plague if she vomits them ... I think some killers should have space... between them
Which killer was first there?
I read it was the Nurse but yet the Plaque joined and if you know her timeline ... Yeah... What do you think?
Survivors in the woodfire
they can talk but how? some of them do not share the same language, how can they be understood? the same for the murderers (if at any time they have spoken among themselves)
can someone explain the lore to me ?
So i read something about entity and realm and characters back story but i cant really relate all.. can someone tell me the lore since beggining ?
Reason for The Plague to kill
Every other killer has a reason to kill. Be it intentional or not. Also, every killer already had some bodycount before the Entity took them. Now, the Plague... She was helping people, even exiled herself so that she wouldn't harm anyone. Before she dies of the disease, the Entity takes her, now she's in the realm and…
the Killers saw the real form of Entity when they have been choosen?
the Killers saw the real form of Entity when they have been choosen?
Freddy's full power...
When you think about this, if Freddy's powers from the movies were in DBD, he would be able to stop survivors mid pallet drop, hit them, then put them back on the other side of the pallet laughing at their futile attempt to stop him. Seriously, Freddy would be OP in terms of his lore.
Is the entity weak to light?
One thing I've noticed is that there's a lot of things to suggest the entity is weak to light, such as the killers that were given gifts by the entity (wraith, hag, nurse, spirit) All have some major weakness to flashlights, and usually pertaining to the ability given to them by the entity. Wraith is stunned by flashlights…
The Plague's language
Does anyone know if The Plague is talking in any real language during her mori or is it something made up? (Possibly language of the entity?)
EVERY KILLERS POKEMON TYPE
Correct or not correct? That is the question
Should we see The Entities form?
Now i know we see The Entity when she blocks the killer from chasing the survivors at the exit gates, or when she appears to come and claim the soul of the survivor. I asked one dev stream if we would ever get the chance to see more physical aspects of The Entity and i believe it was Mr. Dave Richard that simply answered…
Some killers take place of characters that would be Licensed.
Trapper would be a set place holder for Jason considering Jason just wouldn't need to be implemented. Legion is a good set place for Scream, Scream isn't really unique with powers.
К вопросу о возрасте
Кто самый старый персонаж из вселенной ДБД?
Killer Relationships
The killers are probably dating with these killers, I put a dash (-) so you guys know which ones are paired up Doctor-Nurse (Obviously) Pig-Trapper (According to Paulie Esther's 2 killer video) Huntress-Wraith (SFM Decisive Strike) Hag-Hillbilly Spirit-Clown The Rest are probably single pringle.
The early survivors and killers are seriously underdeveloped.
In my opinion, I think that anyone released in 2017 or later is perfectly fine, but earlier folks (Nea, Nurse, Lisa, Ace, and the original cast) could use some more detail. Should/Would the Devs ever go back and change their in-game backstories to be more fleshed out? What are some things you would like to see for specific…
I think trapper hates pizza
in this picture it shows trapper either spitting out the pizza, or he is chowing this boi down and using his machete to eat this pizza like its a ferk
Ace Visconti vs. Yugi???
Who's more lucky, all jokes here.

how to drive a car as the chainsaw man?
How The Wraith and The Nurse got together.
This is what i think happened in the realm for The Nurse and The Wraith to create that iconic Valentines Day poster. Please keep all "Or the art team" comments to yourself. Thanks. In the realm of The Entity, The Wraith sat in his own pocket, cleaning his weapon and tuning his bell. He had just come back from a massacre,…
The Legion ages
We have a rough idea of all their ages from lore and cosmetic descriptions. So from oldest to youngest Frank: confirmed 19 and confirmed to be oldest. ( so the rest must be 19 or below) Joey: I like with Julie we don't seem to have a solid piece of evidence that can give him a decent named range other than him being…
Did the Doctor enjoy what he was doing before the Entity took him?
So there's a debate between me and another person currently going on offsite where they're saying Herman wasn't evil and was manipulated into everything he did, but based on the lore I read, unless I just can't read, he himself did some of the more horrific things of his own volition, and wasn't manipulated or forced into…
Survivors & Killers ships
I'll post here my ships. You can let in a comment your opininon about them or you can post too your ships! :3 SURVIVORS Laurie x Jake (the sole survivors couple) Dwight x David (the fearful and the fearless couple) Kate x Jeff (the singers couple) Claudette x Adam (the educated & knowdlege couple) Feng x Quentin (the…
How Time Works ind DBD
Does time in the Entity's realm act similar to that of Slaughter House 5? I feel that it would explain why a character, Jake for example, could be in multiple trials at once due to the player and be different ranks. Anyone care to debunk or add on to this?
can they talk or not?
In (presumably) Benedict's overview on Kate, he says that kate sung a song at the campfire and made everyone happy. // https://deadbydaylight.gamepedia.com/Kate_Denson // But didn't the devs say that no one can talk? And please dont give me the BS of "Talking isn't singing" if you can sing, you can talk. period. someone…
Is the Entity doing more Good than Harm?
Look at all the Brutal Serial Murderers it's contained.

What is the entity
from what we have seen, we know that he has tenacity like claws and can assume due to the size of the entity can only fit 6 claws though to pull the victims through so he may feast on them. We also know that the entity can pull ppl from any point in time so the entity is in a dimension where time does not exist, also the…
Lore wise what would happen if a survivor kills another survivor in a trail or at the campfire.

Escaping for real?
So awhile back @TheBretzel put together a list of lore related questions and dev's answers and the one that really got my attention was this one: WILL THERE EVER BE A WAY TO KILL THE KILLER? "We hinted to that at some point, to having a very secret sequence of things that could allow you to do that, maybe not killing the…
What if the survivors just stayed at the campfire?
What if the survivors just stayed at the campfire and never left? Like, instead of going into matches they just kept camping there? Further more, why do they even bother going into trials if all that happens just results in them waking back up at the fire?
So The Wraith and The Nurse are a thing...
I remember that someone had said that each killer were seperated from one another and that they had no idea that any other killers were in the Entity's realm. So how could the Wraith and Nurse have a thing?
Meg Thomas Discussion
What's the deal with Meg's little mini pony tail that sticks straight out the back of her head? Did the entity put it there? I lie awake many a night racking my brain for an explanation. I need clarity. I need closure.
