Killer Concept: The Shifter

So I'm not very good when it comes to stats and such, but I think a fun idea for a werewolf killer would be a werewolf that can transform into a survivor. I think it would be a cool mechanic to have the werewolf be able to select a survivor that they can transform into (personal customization and all) as a new stealth aspect. Then an easy way for survivors to counter this would be to just plain pay attention. If they see 2 Megs a Jeff and a Tapp in a lobby, when a random Dwight comes walking up to them, they could just know if it's the killer or not. Then in Wolf form I think a cool power for the killer to have would be, while a survivor is downed the wolf can bite them and infect them with the curse, so that the next time they come close to another survivor the blood lust from the curse activates and (depending on what would be more balance) the infected survivor would cause the other survivor to scream or possibly even damage the other survivor (maybe that second one would be an add-on). But I feel like that would give the wold a lot of pressure for the survivors as the infected survivor would essentially have to be self reliant for heals or if they were fixing a gen and another survivor comes running up to them without them seeing then it would alert the killer. Then as a Mori the killer could start in their survivor form and have the downed survivor flop over from their back and see their "fellow survivor" then reach a hand out for help. Then the wolf reaches his hand back, the camera zooms up on the hands grasping, then the wolf turns. He pulls the survivor up and rips his throat out. (I know most of the Mori's are either done in 1st person or from a single camera angle, but if this is possible I think it could be the coolest Mori yet) Beyond that. I don't really have much. As I said I'm not good when it comes to stats so I wish I could do more, but I feel like this is more just a fun idea for me to share and see what people think. Thanks for reading my non-sense!
