Dead by Daylight Killer Concept. Suggestions wanted!
Hey there, I have created another killer concept for Dead by Daylight. Looking for some feedback, thanks
Dead by Daylight Concept
Stranger Things
Killer
The Shadow Monster
Killer Name
The Mind Flayer
Speed
4.2m/s
Terror Radius
None
Power Name
Flayed Flesh
Power Description
A weapon of flesh formed from the flayed victims of the Mind Flayer. Its body can be warped and distorted to chase prey and spread its influence.
Flayed Tentacle
An extension of warped flesh, a Flayed Tentacle can pass through any solid object, though it moves slower while the front passes through. If the tentacle is directly looking at a survivor within 10m of it, they become highlighted by Killer Instinct (this also affects survivors in lockers). This effect lasts for 7 seconds after the leave view.
Furthermore, a Flayed Tentacle can attack a survivor, but they cannot down a survivor and it ends the tentacle afterwards.
Exiting a Flayed Tentacle without attacking with it will not remove it. Instead, it will become Dormant, with only the Killer Instinct ability remaining active.
A Flayed Tentacle has a range of 20m, a Terror Radius of 20m and a base speed of 4.6m/s.
Multiple form abomination
The Mind Flayer has the ability to not only morph its fleshy body, but also deconstruct and reconstruct it at will.
Spider Monster form
Its largest physical form, while this 15-feet tall monstrosity may have been shrunk by the Entity, it remains a deadly powerhouse.
The Spider Monster has no Terror Radius, it instead can be heard by its thunderous footsteps while moving or spotted by its enormous size.
While it cannot fit through any small windows or door frames, it can climb on and over walls, rest on roofs, and is immune to pallets and other stunning effects. However, it cannot open lockers or destroy breakable objects.
In its Spider Monster form, the Mind Flayer can summon up to two Flayed Tentacles that the killer can alternate control over. The cooldown for summoning another Flayed Tentacle starts when a single tentacle disappears and lasts for 15 seconds.
Flayed Thrall form
A smaller but still lethal form, this malformed abomination can fit in tight places that its bigger predecessor cannot. It moves at a speed of 4.5m/s and has a Terror Radius of 27m.
While in this form, another 3 Thralls will appear randomly around the map, being at least 40m away from each other. These clones will move at a speed of 3m/s and have no Terror Radius until a survivor comes within 30m of them, at which they will gain a speed of 4.2m/s and a Terror Radius of 27m. The Thralls will be highlighted in Red to the killer.
The Mind Flayer can jump between each Thrall, with a delay of 3 seconds and a cooldown of 20 seconds.
In its Flayed Thrall form, the Mind Flayer can vault, down survivors, open lockers, be stunned and break breakable objects. Additionally, they may pass through breakable objects (pallets and walls) with the same speed as their vaulting speed, any survivor who witnesses this screams and becomes revealed by Killer Instinct for 4 seconds.
The cooldown for morphing between forms is 40 seconds.
While playing as the Mind Flayer, you are guaranteed to be transported to an open-area map.
Perks
Despite being driven by an eternal rage and instinct, the Mind Flayer remains an intelligent being. Your perks The Shadows, Connected and Singularity of Fear keep you in the know and your victims in the all-consuming dark.
The Shadows
If they think they can see you, then it is already too late.
Whenever your aura becomes revealed, any survivor that sees it becomes oblivious for 10/15/20 seconds. The aura duration also lasts 2/3/4 seconds shorter.
"they upset him. They shouldn't have done that"
Connected
You are connected to every living thing.
At the start of the match and throughout the game, special Shadow Crows can spawn. This crow, when disturbed, will fly around the survivor and caw every 6/5/4 seconds, this creates a Loud Noise notification. They hover over a survivor for 16 seconds.
“You let us in…”
Singularity of Fear
Split them up. Make them hate each other.
At the start of the trial, one random survivor becomes your obsession. Whenever another survivor gets within an 8/12/16m radius of your obsession, they become visible by Killer Instinct, this effect remains for the entirety of their duration in this radius.
“...now you are going to have to let us stay”
Lore
The Mind Flayer is a supernatural parasitic entity that invades the consciousnesses of any living being for one singular purpose, to assimilate every living thing into the hive mind, where it is the one in control. However, far from the reach of the Mind Flayer, in another reality, there is a child with parapsychological abilities and the only one standing in the way of the Mind Flayer’s world domination: Eleven. This child, and her band of freaks and misfits have thwarted the Mind Flayer’s plans time and time again.
But this time would be different.
After a part of its being became trapped in Earth, the Mind Flayer began assimilating every living being in its radius, eventually taking over Billy Hargrove. It created an army of Flayed for the intention of sacrificing them all to create a weapon of flesh and bone and biomass, a physical avatar for the Mind Flayer.
From its first living moments, the “Spider Monster” relentlessly hunted Eleven, near permanently erasing her powers. That was until the gate that connected the Mind Flayer with its weapon was closed, killing it in an instant.
In that moment, when the body of the Spider Monster burned and decayed, a black smoke enveloped the corpse, and it was gone in a flash.
Mori
Spider Monster form
The Mind Flayer sprouts an array of tentacles that impale the survivor all of their body, until a final tentacle from the mouth impales their heart.
Flayed Thrall form
The Mind Flayer pins the survivor to the ground, stabs them with their bony protrusions and snaps their head off with their jaw.

While I can't see the spider form being added due to what was said by the devs themselves, this is still a pretty unique concept.
It seems pretty fun.
The perks seem fine too, except the last one, as Killer Instinct is a thing that should stay as part of Killer Powers only.
