New Killer Idea- Mothman
Unique ability- For the Unique ability is the ability to hypnotize/warp the mind of victims like in the legends. Another thing with the legends is that people that saw him started seeing things move and hallucinate so maybe if you looked at him for too long while his ability was active you would get a status effect lasting for about a minute that can be reset by looking at him for that set time frame again. The effect would cause hallucinations, so there's a 30% chance that when you walked through a pallet it would drop without anyone touching it, or closets would rip open, chests would appear open then slam shut and it would cause you to scream. Then it would alert him to it.
An idea for his 3 perks would be "Standing still for 5 seconds highlights everything in your line of sight and if a survivor interacts with anything you will be alerted to thier location and their aura will be shown to you for 2 seconds" and it has a 40 to 60 second cool down after you spot someone. The perk would be called "Perched on the Bridge" or "Red Glowing Eyes" something like that in relation to the legends.
Another perk idea is "Swift Wings." or "Talons" "Whenever a survivor escapes your grasp you gain a 3% movement speed and lunge radius increase for 5 seconds" (3% or 5 seconds might be to high or too low) And this perk has a cooldown of 60 rank 1, 40 rank 2, and 20 seconds rank 3.
The third idea is called "Destruction Follows" "Damage a generator to gain a token. After 5 tokens the next generator you damage has it's progress reset back to zero and generator proggresion for that generator is slowed by 4% for 120 seconds."
Misc
I think it'd look really neat if he gave of this sort of mist, like the classic DBD black mist the entity gave off during a sacrifice. For what he would like just look at the famous Mothman Statue in WV.

I'd love an entire group of killers based on local legends/folk lore monsters. Demo is already sort of a wendigo, Mothman is a great idea although I think wings would be difficult to animate.
I like your perks overall, though I wonder about Swift Wings/Talons being that viable. I can see it as a counter to DS, but there's not a lot of struggle-drops in the games I play, so I'm curious to see if it would be useful beyond that. Maybe either after an escape and/or in Bloodlust 2? That might encourage tunneling, but it also sort of punishes killers by making them choose between a tunnel and losing gens.
What do you think you could do to separate the ability you have in mind from how The Doctor plays with add-ons? Part of what I like about doc is the illusions, the heartbeat and false red stain, trick pallets, etc...

Truth is me and my friends really kinda struggled on a really unique ability and we did in the end, see the similarities between the doctor. But there's lots of people to comment and help fix it so part of me is kinda hopefull. But what are the odds it'll even make it into the game anyhow, I'm just hoping to help the devs with new ideas.
