Just an idea for a killer

So idea is from a roblox game i played ages ago, that was essentially roblox dbd, which has a killer being the Krasue from, i think south east asian folklore, that being as wikipedia states:

a nocturnal female spirit of Southeast Asian folklore. It manifests as the floating, disembodied head of a woman, usually young and beautiful, with her internal organs still attached and trailing down from the neck.

so recently i thought, if that was a semi original killer idea grounded in some form of reality, but with some twist, that being:
I believe in the folklore a Krasue in daytime can have a regular body and act completely normal like a human would. But only at night it can detatch from the body and it'd just be left on the ground while they just float off, usually hunting for carrion and animals to feast on, but if they don't return by daylight they'd die
My main idea utilizing this is what if there were 3 headless bodies in a match, where the Krasue starts in an original body
Each body would have a different ability of sorts

The original body, when left, would wander around the map like a Nemesis zombie, until you return to it

A more athletic style body would be quite fast, i'd like to say Spirit phase walk fast, but to combat that, the body would essentially be as blind, but instead could only see bloodpools, and that's it, just bloodpools and breathing/grunts of pain
I only say that because i feel like killers like Blight and Ghoul and Hillbilly, they do speed up very fast, but there's none that are just blatantly fast
And it may be a bit drastic but the movement i think would best fit this form, is sorta like the Bobblehead Nurses in Silent hill, or at least, you know mannequin enemies in games where they shuffle their pose really quickly moving towards you? like that

The third body, more strong looking, would simply just break pallets and kick generators faster, like Knights first guard, i forget the name of

The head when detatched would be able to float over vaults like Draculas Bat form, but according to folklore apparently a way to combat a Krasue are wooden spikes and fences, because their organs would get entangled, so what if Pallets had a redesign or a map interactable that can be placed to prevent them from going over things
Either that or have a way to force the Krasue back into a body, if you wanted to go with the basic supernatural are weak to salt sorta idea, like sprinkle salt on the headless body

As for customisations, i'd like to think it could be like
The Head
all 3 bodies with a set customisations style, either they are just recoloured of the main style, or if thats too much, than whatever else
And what i just found, so the Krasue being part of south east asian folklore, also includes the Phillipines wikipedia says, and what would be a funny thing to have, is the Head Axe, also known as the Headhunters axe, is also from the phillipines


Overall, I'm not sure if this is the right category to have this, and if I mentioned anything wrong, or whatever else, It's just sporadic idea making, I tried to cover the folklore as best I could, and I'd ofc like any opinions on it.

The main thing i'm worried about is, especially with the fast body, i don't want it to be a combination or replacement for other killers
It's basically combined, Knight, Nemesis, Spirit
