DbD character idea
Hi Behaviour team and fellow fans!
I’d like to suggest a new killer chapter idea: Art the Clown, from the Terrifier movies.
He’s already an iconic horror figure — creepy, silent, playful, and extremely brutal — which makes him a perfect fit for the world of Dead by Daylight.
Killer: Art the Clown
Movement type: Normal speed
Power: “Mimic of Madness”
Art can go completely still (like a mannequin), becoming undetectable for a short time. If a survivor gets too close, he suddenly lunges from his pose with a surprise attack.
Special Ability: “Circus Illusion”
Spawns a fake object (like a generator, locker, or totem) that explodes or screams when a survivor interacts with it, giving away their position or inflicting a debuff.
Weapon:
Rusty scalpel
Heavy clown mallet
Or even a garbage bag full of tools
Mori animation ideas:
Saws the survivor in half vertically
Puts on a fake nose, honks it — then brutally smashes the survivor’s face
Ties a balloon and leaves the body smiling (darkly ironic)
Perk ideas:
1. “Silent Show” – While standing still for 5 seconds, you become Undetectable. Your red stain and terror radius vanish until you move or use a power.
2. “Play Dead” – Downed survivors stay alive for 20 extra seconds but scream if another survivor gets close.
3. “Blood Circus” – After hooking 3 different survivors, gain a speed boost for 10 seconds after any hit.
Bonus chapter ideas:
Map: Abandoned circus / bloody subway
Survivor: Victoria or Sienna (from Terrifier 2)
Skins: Alternate black-and-white vintage clown look
I know Terrifier is a more graphic horror franchise, but if handled stylistically (like Ghost Face or Leatherface), it would be a brutal, creative and genuinely scary killer addition to the game.
Thanks for reading! I'd love to hear what others think 💀🎪
