The Stitchwraith
For those that even know what I'm talking about, this might be controversial as hell. But most of you probably don't know, so I'm just going to provide a brief rundown of what the Stitch wraith is, before I tell you about the idea of its abilities and how it came into the entity's realm.
The Stitchwraith is a sort of mysterious figure FNAF book lore(yes, yes, I know) who has appeared at the end of every Fazbear Frights book. He is a sort of weird robot infused with pure agony that happens to be a serial killer(suprise, suprise) that seems to be dismembering or stealing the parts of other animatronics to build itself to be stronger. Than it disappeared.
You can see how this could fit into DBD lore. A serial killer from a Iconic franchise with a unique hobby that disappeared out of knowhere. This could easily lead to the Fog choosing and sending the Stitchwraith to the entity. Now, into the abilites.
Main Weapon: Butterfly Claws: Deadly talons pieced together by the souls of children and the shards of demons.
Grim Scavenging: Holding the Power button causes the Stitchwraith to become undetectable. While stalking a survivor it will charge up like Ghostface's stalking until the survivor appears to be glowing red, allowing him to hit the Attack button to lunge and rip off one of the survivors limbs and slide it over the Stitchwraith's metal skeleton, becoming more powerful. This can of course be cancelled by being watched for 1.5 seconds or being interrupted. This inflicts hindered, deep wound and broken onto the survivor and removes their ability to fix generators until they can find and attach a prosthetic hidden around the map. This can be done up to 3 times, for both arms and then a leg, before they fall into the dying state. By stealing four limbs and executing a dying survivor with Rip(or killing or harvesting them) will infuse it with agony, allowing it to move faster, kill survivors with one hit, vault quickly, and destroy generators and pallets.
Rip: Survivors that have been downed with Grim Scavenging and hooked twice before can be killed with Rip much like a Memento Mori. Survivors will have their spine torn out and used to impale the survivor in the head.
Harvest: Dying survivors can have a part of their flesh torn off by the Stitchwraith to use as a torso. This disables the survivors ability to be healed or revived and speeds up the sacrifice process. Can only be used once per match.
Vexed Talons: When the Stitchwraith has been infused with agony, press the attack button to launch a short blast of Vexed Rage with each swipe, leaving the survivor in the dying state and affected with haemorrhage, exhausted and torment.
Vexed Rage: When the Stitchwraith is infused with agony, pressing the active ability button causes it to go into a rage slashing at everything and moving extremely fast.
Unique Perks
Demonic Imbuement: Activating the Agony Imbuement causes all survivors to be hindered and makes their aura visible for 4/6/8 seconds
Phantom Pains: Stealing a survivors limb causes all survivors in 20/25/30 metres to scream.
Entity's Mask: Sacrificing a survivor causes the Stitchwraith to be imbued with agony for 20/30/40 seconds.
Appearance: The Stitchwraith is a mysterious figure wearing a cloak. It wears a white mask with features drawn on in a thick, black marker. Most notably two eyes, one of which appears blackened, and a toothy grin missing a tooth, with something appearing to be stuck between its front teeth. It also appears to have blood around its mouth. Beneath the cloak it is nothing but a steel skeleton.
Mori Animation: Levitates the survivor up off the ground and wrapped in barbed glowing red wire, and then rip out one of your survivors organs and plunge it into your on chest, then crush their skull.
An idea that might be added to this if the gore system in dbd was better would be that each survivor would have unique limbs that would affect your final appearance with the particular limbs of the survivor. For instance, Ash williams torso by killing him would then cover your metal ribcage, maybe with a couple ribs sticking through the shirt, David Tapp's legs, Cherl Mason's right arm and Jeff Johanson's right arm, with some silver wires sticking through the clothes and skin and the sharp claws poking through the fingers.

Here's a picture I found of the stitchwraith, just incase anyone needs a reference image.
I would like a FNaF chapter to come into DbD some day, but I have to be honest. If anyone from FNaF is going to make it in, then it would almost HAVE to be Springtrap. The Stitchwraith is an interesting character, but he's far too new imo. We haven't seen much of him outside of the books, and he doesn't really represent FNaF as a whole. As far as I'm aware (and I could be wrong about this), he doesn't actually have a strict motivation to kill. However, if a FNaF chapter were to come into dbd one day, why not make him a skin?

I know, I've just been a big fan of the idea of the Stitchwraith so I posted a idea for it's powers and weapon.
1 -
I guess he could work for a skin for wraith
2 -
he might work in that regard, but the Stitchwraith's potential powers and abilities are unique enough to warrant their own killer. On top of that, aside from similarities between silhouette and name they are very differant.
1 -
Sounds cool, but I think your "unique perks" idea should just be the addons. Also, Rip is just not a good idea, make it function off of second hook like PH it would be fine. Also, DBD doesn't have a gore system, taking off limbs is impossible. Aside from that, this would be cool. Perhaps a second killer if we get a chapter, along with springtrap.
2 -
Thanks for the advice. One of the reasons I actually wanted to add in dismemberment it to increase the gore factor of the game other than just blood.
1 -
I wish they added a gore system in. It feels kinda weird to see the killers brutalize a survivor, but to have the survivor look the exact same.
2 -
Exactly. Like leatherface straight up cuts a survivor down the middle with a chainsaw and the survivor looks the exact same.
2 -
While what I've heard about the Stitchwraith does sound interesting, I'm of a mind that a FNAF killer should be Springtrap. He's the big villain that every bad thing in the series stems from, second only to Freddy Fazbear himself in his importance/iconic nature.
2 -
Again, I am aware that Springtrap is much more likely to be chosen if a FNAF chapter gets released. I am simply stating a possibility for a interesting and more mysterious killer. Of course I can imagine Springtrap appearing as a jumpscare killer, where he can deploy cameras around the map which survivors can then access, allowing springtrap to teleport to their location. Just my thoughts.

Fair enough. I like the idea given earlier of a Stitchwraith skin for our Wraith. Made me also think of a Puppet skin for the Nurse (as she moves in a similar way to the Puppet in the some of the times we see it moving) and Clown skin of either Chica or Circus Baby. Or maybe a Foxy Hillbilly.
Edit: Samurai Freddy Oni!

I'm gonna be honest, as soon as I read Fnaf I stopped reading.
5 -
---^this
4 -
Then imagine it's not FnaF. This character is obscure enough that a near exact rip off could be made so pretend that is what this is, instead a unique killer from an iconic horror franchise.
Though it is still ridiculous to stop reading because it says Fnaf.
1 -
Whats wrong with FnaF for a killer
0 -
Nothing particularly although there are a few things I could point out that are wrong with it. But to boil it down for simplicity's sake I vastly prefer other killers to
the robotic furry crewFnaf.Personally I was disappointed with chapter 16, I have no attachment to Silent Hill and had myself hyped for basically literally anything else other than Pyramid Head. I was quite literally blue-balled by chapter 16 and that residual hype is still left over and I've still been waiting for a huge exciting license ever since. Fnaf is not on that list.
And as an aside (though it applies slightly less to this thread because it's about the "stitchwraith" which is featured in the books) I find it far more interesting to see movie and tv licenses make it into DBD rather than video game licenses. Simply because these aren't characters you don't ever get to play as or interact with in any way beyond just watching them on the big screen, in a scripted plot. Whereas you do interact with Pyramid Head in Silent Hill, you do already interact with Springtrap in Fnaf 3. As an audience the fans of those games have already gotten to experience that but not so for characters like Pennywise, or Candyman, or Pinhead. So I would say enjoy that, but let other fans experience interactivity with their favorite characters on a level they've never had the benefit of before first.
That's just me though. Probably an unpopular opinion with all the fnaf fans out there who are literally foaming at the mouth to get them in game.
1 -
But as you pointed out, the stitchwraith is from a book. People have had much less interactions with him than most movie characters.
Besides, I'm not even much of FnaF fan. I just enjoy the idea of the stitchwraith.
Besides its isn't a furry robot. It's a possesed bootleg robot
0 -
But you weren't asking me about the stitchwraith specifically, you said what's wrong with Fnaf. I used Fnaf as the general umbrella for my response
I also addressed the fact that the "aside" was less applicable because it was more in reference to springtrap, (as I knew you would point out) the popular choice for fnaf as it stands.
My main paragraph, though it is the shorter one (not even a paragraph it was two sentences), is what you should be looking at, not the "aside".
1 -
Why?
0 -
Damn, imagine being so biased against something to not even read someones thoughts and arguments on it.
Saying "I didnt read it bc fnaf" adds NOTHING to the discussion.
Other than salt.
3 -
Same reason as stranger things, but they wont say that.
It's because they think its a "cringey YT kids game" and dont care to look at the actual lore or content beyond whatever their favorite internet personality said about it.
I used to hate it too. Then I read up on the lore and holy #########. Not my favorite game, but I can appreciate it WAY more than I ever thought.
Tl;Dr: people are closed minded and enjoy bashing on other peoples hobbies.
3 -
I think it shouldn't matter what franchise killers came from. Think about it. Hillbilly was a straight up rip off leatherface, yet hillbilly is one of the most popular killers in the game, while leatherface is never played. Franchise means nothing.
Also, isn't games filled with kid murders, jumpscares, Terrifying robots demons, freaky lore and a backstory soaked in blood so kid-friendly.
and a little girl having parts of her flesh cut off in her sleep and parts of other people sown onto her
Kid Friendly.
2 -
You are aware that animatronics are not controlled by kids. They are trapping said kids in eternal torment.
and again it is not a kids game. read what we are saying.
It is not kid friendly and has much much better stories and lore than most horror games.
It would not bring kids.
And again(deep breath)
the stitchwraith is possesed by a evil entity and infused with agony. not kids
And again why does it matter? Kids watch horror movies and yet why aren't leatherface and ghostface scream- oh.
0 -
Honestly, I like this idea a lot. Much more than springtrap. I did a complete 180 on fnaf, and as long as it's springtrap or stitchwraith, I would be happy with a fnaf chapter. I remember I loved the first 3 as a teenager, then I started hating it. Fnaf 3 is pretty well done though. I haven't read this books either, so this might be interesting.
1 -
Thanks! Glad some people actually like the idea instead of hating it because FNAF.
1 -
Jesus christ...
The game might have had a 9 year old fanbase.
I guarantee to you that Silent hill and Stranger things fanbase is below 18. I also guarantee you that the majority of people who play dbd are below 18.
I also guarantee you that lots of kids watch horror movies, maybe even more then their adult fanbase. Yet leatherface, ghostface, Michael Myers, Freddy Kruger, Demogorgon and PH are all in the game.
And again. read what we say. You are just repeating yourself over and over again.
0 -
Do kids even know silent hill exists?
1 -
Yes. Or at least kids who were 13, 14 when the games came out, yeah they knew what silent hill was and probably played. As well as that anyone who has interest in horror games know and play the game.
0 -
Killer from fnaf that somehow manages to look even more stupid than Springtrap. Just no.
2 -
Gotta keep the ratings low or it'll be banned in places like China and Australia, and it'll get an adults only rating everywhere else. All these things would impact sales and as a company you really want to try and get your product out to as many people as possible.
1 -
Didn't F13 get a chinese release though? That game had so much gore. Not sure about australia.
0 -
Let's be honest folks, they are going to add a FNAF chapter arent they.... These darn kids just keep harping on about it.
Would prefer another cool designed killer like Spirit or Oni
0 -
you cant say spirit is "cool, original killer" since its clearly a rip off Samara from the ring. I do love the oni design.
But if FnaF is against your delicate sensibilites, focus on the design and powers and pretend its not fnaf.
0 -
Disagree. Samara is a Japanese icy spirit girl, very different imo. As for delicate sensibilities, most people my age don't find robotic bunny rabbits scary.
1 -
No. I agree robot rabbits isn't scary. But come on- That really is not what I'm suggesting.

rEaD tHe LoRe!!!111!11!!!

UGHHHH DADDDDD ITS NOT A FAZZZZZZZZZZAREREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This.. this is what you sound like. People are allowed to have opinions opposing your own, just as you are allowed to have your original opinion.
FNAF is much disliked by a huge portion of the DBD community for WHATEVER REASON they are valid.
You can like FNAF and make suggestions all you want, but if you do it in a public place, be prepared for as much backlash as butt kissing.
1 -
I agree with you completely. Aside from the slightly demeaning start.
Yet your point is that everyone has their own opinions, that I agree with, and I was ready for backlash, but other people wouldn't let me have an opinion. You don't have to go crazy about it, but you can just say you're not a fan of FNAF and focus on everything other than the story.
0 -
Well, they cant have too much gore because of some of the markets they want to sell in...
0 -
FNaF really isn't a kids game at its core. You can't really say it is either.
What made it good was the suspense and panic. The jumpscares are really only a small part of the experience. When you are in a game of FNaF, your goal is to keep them away with the means at your disposal, against increasingly more difficult enemies. As you progress, you become frantic, dreading what they would do when they catch you... Same with the other franchises. Halloween is the best example of a killer that provides the same experience: A slowly approaching evil, a battle of attrition, and Laurie escapes by the skin of her teeth.
And people have grown up with the franchise. I was 14 when the original came out, but it is still going strong. There are adult fans out there, despite your claim to the contrary.
And there are people who have grown up watching horror since they were 5. There are children who have watched the entirety of Halloween, Nightmare on Elm Street, and Saw franchises, and many more. Horror is only scary when you don't oversaturate it.
0 -
Thank you for saying this, but prepare for everyone to get very, very angry. I've said this before, and it did not go down well.
1 -
Well, you can not like the game, but insulting it to people who do like it just is not the way to go in the long run.
You might be very accustomed to horror, in that case. It does happen. And a lack of investment into what you are doing can also do that for you. I'm not as invested as I was in the series when I was younger, but I can see that more options in the game would be a good thing, regardless of what others say.
It would be like me saying I think Candyman would be a stupid choice for the game because his movie is weak. It is one opinion among thousands.
I still think it is impressive that the 7 original games (not the AR on your phone or the VR one) were all made by one man in the span of only a few years, and I want him to succeed despite what people say about his games + the story.
1 -
Well, Maybe mine might work because I try not to be confrontational. But we'll see how it goes.
1 -
You can get it in australia. It is even a free game on Xbox Ultimate pass.
1 -
I would prefer non-lisenced killers too, but if people harp on about IT or Candyman again, I might as well put in my vote for Springtrap. : /
0 -
FNaF is less about them being outwardly horrifying, and more about something that is normally fun for children being murderous. It is still your opinion regardless whether you find it scary, as people can be desensitized to many things.
