New Idea on next Killer: The Mimic
So I love this game and I just had a thought on a new Killer, The Mimic.(I don't believe anyone has suggested this yet).
If anyone remembers the Mimic Movie and its Sequels(it had 3 Sequels) you'll know exactly what this is but for the Developers to check out here is it's descriptions and powers.
SIZE
~10 feet
TYPE
Giant animal
Mutant
SPECIES
Mutated insects
ABILITIES
Powerful jaws
Mimicry
The Mimic is a Mutated Cockroach Species that mimics Humans with evolved Masks and its wings to hunt and eat its Prey with its Claws and Jaws.
Imagine a Killer that could mimic survivors, pretend to BE a survivor as it hunts, blend in with survivor players. I don't know what kind of Perks you could come up with for this killer but I thought this was a great idea for the next Killer.

Tbh this is what I pictured when I saw the title

Lol true but no. I was specifically talking about Gilmeroo Del Torros Mimic series. I'm curious what the Devs would think of a Killer that mimics/pretends to be a survivor to hunt its prey.
Imagine a Killer mimicing a Meg on your team to blend in and pretend to "help" your team on a Gen but reality is, you gonna grab em 👏

I really hope -- for my own sake -- they keep insect-like creatures out of DBD. As someone who has kind of gotten over my arachnophobia in video games, I feel like there is already too much insects in video games. The only way I'll support any insect DBD-content is if Candyman is in the game.

Also a general idea for people who are confused on this kickass Killer. This clip should give you an idea

Two problems with this:
One, the killer that transforms into survivors. This idea has been a suggestion since 2016, it's not a new one, and the community as well as developers are a bit torn as to whether or not it would actually work and be viable. I personally think it's worth a shot even as a potential secondary ability but a lot of people would shout me down saying "swf" so I usually don't bother these days. The last time I heard the devs comment on it I think they said something along the lines of they don't have the tech and / or funds to pull this killer off, but I don't know how true that statement is anymore these days.
More importantly: there are way more cool killers that shapeshifting could go toward, like The Thing from John Carpenter's The Thing first and foremost, but also another suggestion I've seen is the T-1000 from Terminator 2. Which is why I say give it a shot, those characters would be super cool to have in game (but I definitely would say no on the mimic, sorry, not my type)
Two: The killer isn't human and / or humanoid. It used to be an established rule the killers all had to be or have been human at some point in their past, though that was tossed out the window when Demogorgon made it into the game. That being said the rule still applies just a lot more loosely, killers can be human or humanoid but we've yet to see a killer that's full blown something else, much like a giant mutated insect. This is why we never got to see that Spider Killer with 8 legs that people wanted for so long back in 2016
The reasoning behind this is about the same as for the first problem, every killer currently uses about the same model and animation rig, if they do something that isn't human they're going to have to create an entirely new rig for a single character which is really costly. Especially considering the potential that they'll never be able to re-use the same rig for any future characters.

I would rather be in a room full of a thousand angry screaming Chinese men.

I didn't think about the Thing either tbh. I wonder what the Devs would think about all this tbh. Del torro is a big gamer and helped Kojima prior so I dont see it being a big IP issue. He might enjoy it. Obviously we have John Carpenter's IPs in game now and it wouldnt be too difficult compared to the Devs convincing Konami of all people to lend the Silent Hill IP to be used in their game(the company made it very clear it doesnt like sharing its IPs).
Id be happy with the Thing too tbh.

A Mimic killer will NEVER work in this game, because players can use voice chat. His power would just become completly useless.

With if the mimic meant mimicing Survivor Perks? 🤔 Though I dont know what thatd mean or how those perks would convert into a benefit.
