Which of these classic Killers do you want BHVR to add?

Feel free to share any ideas you have regarding coordinating perks, moris, Survivors, and/or maps.

(Also: I know the game needs a health "chapter" over new content. I know. But this is just a for fun post.)

    How would the mummy work? I mean I am not against it just curious on what the perks could be and his look, pace and powers.

    Honestly, not sure about the power. I've mostly just wanted a licensed chapter from the 1999 movie for years because of the creative aesthetic opportunity. Rick O'Connell would be my new main if they got him. An ancient Egypt map could be so incredible, and the mori could involve scarabs eating you and/or getting mummified.

    If they licensed from The Mummy, maybe the power could incorporate sand or his organ jars (an added objective or maybe even a power up?).

    I actually like that maybe even the locus swarm or something.

    oooooooh yeah I forgot about that. The locust swarm could be so cool.

    When you think about it and how there different power would work we already have a Werewolf : Oni. He feed on bloodlust to gain a rage stage and transform into a more powerful form of himself. Sounds a lot like a werewolf.

    Mummy is definitly Plague. Comes from Babylonian era and spread disease, same way a mummy killer would curse survivors.

    The only one we don't have is vampire, but then it can also get kinda close to Oni's power.

    in all honestly i voted too quickly and as i'm writing this is hope it was possible to change your vote so mine could say "All 3"

    That entire genre of killers. I like gothic horror and I can't wait for them to start adding in more gothic/slasher mixed villains. Blight and Twins were a nice first step, so hopefully they continue down the realms of gothic horror or even outright Hammer Horror.

    Edit: Also, I would love some lovecraftian killers. They would have to be adapted to the slasher medium just the same as gothic horror killers, but I think they could do it.

    It's funny you said that, because I read a different comment on a different thread that said Oni was a vampire because he feeds on blood (sucking up the blood orbs).

    I think a proper Egyptian mummy will be distinct from Plague, and the power could be tied to sand, locust swarms, maybe even the mummy's cloth wrapping--anything really. I mean, they've been talking about getting Jason and Trapper basically already is Jason. So I hope they get all three, although Mummy is my #1, followed very closely by Werewolf.

    And no, unfortunately the poll isn't coded to allow an option to change votes. :( But that's all right. Vampire is your #1 vote, so it's still accurate.

    What other Killers from gothic horror (besides the 3 mentioned) can you think of that would be a good fit? Yeah, I saw someone else say that DBD hasn't gotten Killers like this already because it is a slasher horror game, not gothic horror. But you're right, Blight is more gothic than slasher to me, so maybe they are expanding into that territory.

    I would love to see a Scarecrow killer.

    A scarecrow would be really cool, though I'm very curious about how it would be coded to move. That alone could completely change the whole aesthetic. The loading into screen (from the Killer perspective) could be the scarecrow attached to some sort of posts and then ripping its limbs off of them, one by one.
