What New Original Killers or Concepts do you want to see ?
Killers are the most interesting aspect of DBD, so I'm curious about what types of killers everyone else wants to see added to the game. I've got a few in mind:
"The Doll" - A female killer that looks like a porcelain doll or mannequin. I could see her power relating to puppetry, or posessing other mannequin dolls to move around the map with, leaving her original body behind to do so. She could jump from body to body, kind of like Dredge does with lockers, but she can move while in control of these dolls. Eventually she'd have to return to her main body to restore her power.
"The Child" - A young, female killer who's under the Entity's control. She could operate in a unique way from other killers, in that her base stats play out differently. She could have the ability to crawl under pallets at a faster pace than breaking them, allowing her a unique means of reaching survivors. As a trade off, her base vault speed is slower. Her power could be "Tag", where her first attack on a survivor marks them, creating a faint trail she can follow to get a down on them.

Either a banshee or a Viking killer. A banshee is long overdue and I’d love to see BHVR’s take on one

am glad we have now a killer power utilizing darkness as that’s what I have suggested often in these kind of threads!
now I would be super interested in a killer that uses insects in some way (Candyman would have been a cool killer for that) or arachnids.

A killer that isn't an accessibility nightmare tbh
But yo imagine a firefighter caught in the blaze and twisted and corrupted by the Entity's hand into someone who can shoot and control fire. The Pyromaniac.

I'd love a spider killer in the game. Though I'd like for them to be a full on spider or half spider at least, with the ability to summon spiderlings in some way.

I’d love another folklore killer like the Oni, I’d figure Mothman would be good for first flying killer or some folklore from like India or Middle East.

Three statues. You control one at a time and can swap between them at will (with a slight cooldown) bringing them to life. Allowing you to essentially set up mobile teleport points a bit like Twins/Demo.

I'd like to see The Medusa as a killer. Her main special ability would be that while a survivor has her in their field of vision they have a negative status timer that ticks up about 1 token per second. As tokens build up the survivor suffers increasingly worse negative effects and conditions. So for instance maybe 1 token inflicts Blindness, 2 inflicts Exhaustion and Incapacitation, 3 Hinders, 4 Exposes and 5 significantly Hinders even further. Once a survivor stops seeing the Medusa their tokens stay in place for maybe 10 seconds and then tick back down again. She'd be a killer that survivors are actively afraid to look at while trying to run away from her or do gens, etc.
Of course since that's a totally passive ability, she'd also probably need an active ability of some sort to be more fun to play. One possibility could be holding the Power button down lets her charge a viper strike, a short range attack a little bit like Nemesis' whip, which in addition to doing damage delays the loss of tokens by the survivor.
Her chapter could come with a Cavern of Statues map filled with her victims, and the survivor would probably be Perseus, the slayer of the Medusa.

Another killer I'd like would be a Werewolf. The Werewolf would have a leaping or sprinting attack, similar to Demogorgon. Also by holding the power button they could sense the rough direction to the closest survivor, like sniffing the air for their prey, in the form of a compass quadrant to move in to get to the nearest target. I could also see them having some sort of mild movement boost to help with map traversal.

Some robot or machine

Sexy curvaceous vampire mommy that can launch herself into the air, and glide down to any area on the map. Need a muscular shirtless male legendary cosmetic.

Next ranged killer should use a bow and obviously you load arrows from lockers but it needs to be different than huntress gameplay wise.

As was hinted at with the Legion trailer, a Killer that can impersonate survivors.

A WW2 soldier that is able to pull the Survivors into some kind of trauma world, similar to old Freddy.
A Killer that is part of The Entity itself, corrupted by the Blight Serum, able to use the Survivors emotions against them.
A ranged Hit N Run Killer, able to throw some kind of projectile at the Survivors that doesn't inflict damage but will allow the Killer to afflict them with some kind of debuff (currently working on this one for an Eligos concept)

A WWI soldier with the ability to throw gas grenades that passively debuff the survivors until they either get injured or downed, with the extra of having a bayonet charge.
Just imagine getting chased by this mf.
Also a trench themed map would be pretty dope, lots of things they could do.

Vampires, werewolves, giant insects, leprechauns or elemental creatures of fire or ice are certainly concepts that could somehow be realised.
But I would really like to have a killer who could jump or teleport up ledges.

I think a pirate themed survivor and killer would be really cool.

One where their counter doesn't involve pre-dropping pallets and w-keying.
