Original Killer Ideas

We've all seen the countless threads on what licensed killers we want to see in game, Springtrap or Xenomorph the usual. I'm wondering what original killers could BHVR add to the game? give a name and maybe brief description of their appearance providing the name isn't obvious enough along with just a small sentence on what their ability might be related to. Let me start off with one I'd like:

"The Medusa" or "The Gorgon" both equally fitting names for the same killer, and I'm sure I don't need to explain what snek lady could look like. As for her ability something to do with either movement or petrification would be awesome. movement to tie into the snake aspect and I reckon would be awesome.

So tell me, what are some of your non-licensed killers you want to see?

    I want a killer plant thats totally poisonous and ready to devour the survivors. Seymour im hungry

    I have no ideas for the power or ability but a lil light hearted horror is always fun

    Alien.

    Not Xenomorph, but the classic Grey. "The Grey" in fact. Long slender limbs, cold jet black eyes, and telekinetic powers for grab/hook animations.

    Power would be a beam of light from the sky that holds survivors in place for a few seconds, but that might be a tad too similar to Pinheads style of slowdown.

    Perks would involve obfuscation and mind games using status effects.


    The Mechanic.

    Covered in leathers, with a welders mask. Main weapon is a wrench, with a makeshift flamethrower made from a blow torch with a spray can for the power.

    Power would be a short ranged Flamethrower attack. A sustained burst of fire applies the deep would status, which decreases at 200% while within the flame. So kinda like a cross between Legion and Bubba. Getting clipped by the flame would be like getting hit by Legion, but getting trapped in the spray would rapidly progress your deep wound until it hits 0 and you go down.

    Perks involving gen regression and trapping gens, like a reverse blast mine.

    Ideally I want a non humanoid type killer which is why I suggested the plant even the demo is humanoid to an extent and I feel they need to start getting a little bit more creative with their characters.

    maybe something like "The Stone" a sentient rock creature. Maybe similar to Lithoid species from Stellaris if you're familiar. or Behemoth from Evovle. Ability could be some form of stone entrapment. lowkey earth bender vibes.

    I still actually like two of my concepts (click on the name to the actual threads):

    The Ice Queen : An ice dancer, her ‚mask‘ being a transparent iceblock around her head; power is a projectile (ice spear) that inflicts a new slowdown status effect

    Charlie(The Darkness) : admittedly a licensed killer idea, could work out as an original as well, since Don’t Starve is not officially labeled a horror genre. Power to completely darken the map except for safe light spots (fire barrels, completed gens and such)
