Add Medusa. “The snake”

I would absolutely love to see a Greek mythological gorgon as a killer on this game. And I think that there’s so many variations of perks and stuff Medusa can have.

    I love this idea, what would her power be?

    I'm doing for the esthetic, and I think it would be cool if the animations for grabbing or hitting people could have some of the snakes curling in front of her face and be visible in first person !

    I wonder how her "canon" vision based power could translate in DbD... That being said, it would be possible to have another Gorgon with different mechanics, the same way Magic : The Gathering has Vraska as an assassin but without turning people to stone.

    Please not "The Snake." Why not just "The Gorgon." Medusa is not a snake...

    Maybe as a passive she can slowly turn survivors to stone, reducing movement speed if you leave it alone but if you go and grab a hammer and chisel you can slow its growth. Then again, that would be extremely annoying hahaha.

    I think reducing movement speed would be very strong, a bit too much.

    Maybe the turning to stone thing could be either a Mori (that would be extremely cool as a survivor to stumble upon the fear-stricken shape of your past teammate, set in stone...) or a mechanic similar to Pyramid Head's cages as a replacement for hooks ?

    Yesss, but only if their statue remains in the trial so I can stand and point at it. That's a requirement.

    Bhvr definitely needs to do this and take my money.

    Or she could immediately turn them to stone for (just spitballing a number) 30 seconds, only it won't affect their health state and be purely a slowdown ability. It could be sped up if another survivor interacts with them. She wouldn't be able to do anything to petrified survivors either.

    Yeah, I also suggested Medusa a while back. 🙂 My idea was that survivors have a timer that builds up tokens the longer they have the Medusa on their screens. The more tokens they have the more and worse conditions they suffer. So if they have one token, for instance, they might be Blind, two tokens and they're Exhausted and Incapacitated, three tokens makes them Hindered, four tokens Exposed, five tokens further Hinders their movement and six Immobilizes them. Once they stop looking at the Medusa the token timer will start to regress after a brief delay. This would hopefully make Medusa a killer that survivors are actively afraid to look at while doing gens or hiding or running away from her, etc.

    While that ability seems pretty cool to me, I'm assuming they'd also want to have some effect that can be actively triggered by the Power button, just so she's not simply a basic attack killer with no activated ability at all from the killer's perspective. I don't think her Power button ability would need to be too strong in this case, it would just need to be some secondary effect that's useful for her, like maybe a slightly longer than normal range Snake attack or Venom spit, or maybe some sort of activated tracking effect that helps her detect the general direction of people that can see her or that are cursed by her passive ability.

    Great idea it would be cool if her Design would be also half Snake, half Human kinda like the One in God of War

    Maybe make instead of Legs she has a Snake Tail or something since Dredge Everything is possible and Killers whitout Legs arent Impossible :)

    Well I suppose a kind of making her to look at her will fill a bar and if you fill it you become a statue

    She wouldn't be called the snake it would be "The Gorgon".

    I think her power should be if players look directly at her (like with Ghost Face's reveal), they start to slow down until they cannot move, giving her a free hit. Once she hits them, they gain the endurance and haste status for 1 second. If she doesnt go for them or they arent looking directly at her, they begin to move again. Also, she can send snakes that inflict a poison status similar to Nemesis, which fills a meter. Once the meter is full, Medusa has the ability to turn a survivor into stone (like Pyramid Head's cage). The survivors will then need to find them and release them before they completely turn to stone and die. As for the snakes, there will be antidotes like Nemesis that slowdown the meter. If all survivors are cured of the poison, then the meter doesn't fill. Also, after she uses her power, even if she misses, the meter restarts.

    These are just some ideas. I bet some might be to powerful but hey, I wanted to get creative.

    She probably shouldnt be called "the Snake" but rather "The Gorgo" because that is what she is. Might be a bit weird though because we have Demogorgon and the names are really similar...

    Guys, I know, I know.

    First, I want to thank yall because of the ideas and stuff, I didn´t know that this post would have sooo many feedbacks.

    Second, Here´s the thing. When I suggested adding Medusa to the game, I gave her "the gorgon" as a nickname for DBD. And after that I thought it would be confusing, because I know there are a few people that rather to call Demogorgon as "Gorgon" or something. So I prefer "the snake" SHE IS NOT A SNAKE! I KNOW THAT!!! But there´s no other idea so far.

    BUT NOW, I thought of "the snakes" because she has snakes instead of her hair.

    LMK what you think, thank you again. <3
