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 💀🎪
