KILLER CONCEPT -- BLIND KILLER / WENDIGO
Before we start, no I don't consider the Hag as a wendigo, I also know the skull+antlers depiction is false to the real myth, and yes I'm aware the wendigo's from Until Dawn are copyrighted but you don't have to strictly follow that idea.
THE BLIND KILLER -
How this would work, is that the killer could have a very small aura of about the range of a fallen pallet x2. You can see thin lines as for walls; if you get close to a wall they'll reveal themselves before you run into it. But the bonus's of a blind killer could be:
Hearing generators explode w/ a longer-lasting aura, hearing running/footsteps faintly depending on how well you focus on your hearing directionally, maybe you can have some kind of 'detect movement' like the wendigos from dead by daylight, it can be an interesting and unique killer if you put good thought into the mechanics. Maybe you rely on scent instead?, tracking blood trails easily or smelling people within lockers. Things like that. I personally have very poor eyesight, and my hearing is what my strength is.
WENDIGO -
But back to the wendigo topic, I would love to see it featured. Many people want the Until Dawn wendigo's, and I agree, as long as there is a antlers & skull hat cosmetic that's gainable in some way or form that ISN'T the main killer, since I'm sure a lot of people would want that skull+antlers ordeal, and some want the realistic form of the creature. But as for the mechanics:
The wendigo could have the same 'seeing movement' ordeal, and could be added in with the blind-killer idea, that's why I paired them up.
See if I were to do this, I'd make it so the wendigo has poor vision, and can follow a blood-trail very easily. When its following a blood-trail it'll go on all fours and be much faster if the survivor is injured. (Kinda like Warwick from League of Legends?) Regardless, you could also do a short 'charge', like the Demogorgon! That way the antlers have an affect (if added).
along with a cool elk-cry roar, something like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Et6hjclFLcg&ab_channel=MonsterVersTV
If people are too worried for the wendigo being op, the major de-buff is definitely the eyesight, and the speed can be tweaked if need-be. I'd enjoy it to be a kind of killer where following your first-instincts are essential, and quick-reflexes + hearing make it easier to master.
WENDIGO MORI -
Would be cool to see a wendigo bite the jugular and tear it out before roaring to the sky. (I found that on a wiki, not my idea). And another neat idea would be to have them just do-- Something very barbaric and primal.
If you have any idea's I like I'll add them, but this is my first suggestion and I would love to hear your opinions. (If you disagree, please tell me why- and don't be rude about it please.) ..
I also apologize if you're deaf and actually considered reading that blind-killer part, thank you.
