Idea for New Killer

I am new to forums, but I have played game for almost the entirety of its release. My idea might have been thought of already and posted, but I wanted to present it in case it hasn’t yet.

How about a Werewolf?

Main power: Shape shift

Werewolf would have ability to transform to look like a survivor. This would need to be similar to Wraith transition speed and be quiet when transitioning to keep people on edge. Also, it would probably need to mimic farthest survivor from them at time of transition, or be completely random based on survivors in game. I don’t think this action should be able to block survivors, if so only briefly. *Killer would still remain in first person while shape-shifted.

Possible secondary actions (only one):

Howl: after howling it would give the Werewolf better sight like night vision, or survivor highlight for a limited time.

Crawl: would put Werewolf on all fours and give no terror radius like the pig. I think it would need to move faster though and perhaps on hit it would put survivors in deep would status. Transition to would be fast, but transition out would need to take several seconds and make Werewolf look straight up as it gets back up it’s hind legs, losing sight of any survivor hit.

I have a few perk ideas, but these have been way harder to come up with since they could be used with all killers.

Perks:

Wolf Ears: Sounds made by generator repair are increased by certain amount, maybe 12-15 meters for highest level?

Bitten: Whenever the survivor is hooked all survivors within certain distance (terror radius?) suffer from hindered status effect for certain amount of time.

Wolfs Blood (hex): Whenever a survivor is healed by another survivor, the healer enters broken status and cannot be healed for a certain amount of time, maybe 30 seconds at highest level.

I would love to hear thoughts, or any other ideas.

    I would love a shapeshifter to the game. Have you watched the John Carpenter´s The Thing? That movie delivers the best shapeshifter (imo) creature from cinema. This guy in the forums gave an idea for it implemented to the game (There are some people here in forums who wish for it to be implemented as well)

    Werewolf would be awesome as well, but Idk, shapeshifting seems to fit The Thing more for me :)
