Could "Death" be featured as a killer in DbD?

Yes, skeleton, scythe wielding, robe wearing Death.

Could it be? Is the Entity *that* powerful?

Or does the Entity only recruit real human beings?

    "Eugene Skullovitch was an ordinary bully. Then rage drew him to kill some high school nerds. The Entity was drawn to him due to his kinda punny name, and he became a Skeleton man forced to wear a robe and brandish a scythe to work for the Entity as the new harbinger of death. NEW KILLER: THE REAPER (and new Survivor: Farkas Bulkmeier)."

    Boy, wouldn't that be a weird crossover.

    Doesn't really make sense from a lore perspective. Killers are individuals whom the Entity chose to feed its appetite. Why would a force like Death serve the Entity even if it had a physical form?

    I said something about this in a previous discussion, so i will copy and paste what i said there into this discussion.

    The Entity did not have a hand in wars or anything of the such, if anything that was all mans doing. While this thread does seem like a little bit of a joke, i'll entertain it. The Entity is like Death from Final Destination, just like Death, The Entity has a design, and that design is to have a realm where people are hunted down and fed to it. Death on the other hand has a design where a specific event happens where it has to remove people from this earth.

    Now, lets take a look at Adam Francis, when his train derailed, it was actually supposed to be his Death, that was part of Deaths design, but what i think, is that Death and The Entity are aware of each other, i think The Entity made a deal with Death itself, to take people that it had in it's design that were supposed to die and leave this earth in exchange for it having food, this way, they were still following the plan all the while keeping The Entity fed.

    So the next time when a "natural" disaster happens, and someone is missing among the people in said disaster, ask yourself, are they really missing?

     In Final Destination, we never get to see Death, but we know his presence is there, just like we never see The Entity, but we know her presence is there, but we can feel her presence the most when we venture into the basement, just as the perk Monstrous Shrine states, "And then you will know, when you hang in the depths, you face the Dark One".

    When you go down into basement, you will hear humming and the sound of a dying whale, that's her, That is The Entity, you can't see her, but you know she is there watching you.

    And about your statement about letting Death have fun, it's actually Death that is stronger than The Entity, because He can decided when she dies, since he is death itself, While Death constructs a design and has that design happen, it will make the decision to whether The Entity is allowed to take someone.

    But, this is all just speculation, but i do think it is heavily possible.

    Thanks for your replies guys.

    Yeah thinking about it lore-wise, it would be hard to justify the presence of DEATH (the force) itself in DbD.

    At most, the Entity would recruit a human and dress him up like the ancient and traditional physical manifestation of Death. Like @TAG already said. And even that would be only for the Entity's shits and giggles.

    BTW where did you come up with those names? They are really cool LOL

    @TAG D.A.R.N.

    I see what you did there.

    I'm literally laughing my ass off.

    Shows I was already old at that time.

    Yes, ignore what anyone else says otherwise.

    Countless times people would say so and so cant be in the game for "reasons" but as long as the entity can grab the person or thing within a certain period of time it's fair game.

    Here's an example of people who keep arguing that Chucky cant be in DBD.

    Their arguement- He's too small, Can't lift survivors on the hook, cant see him on the maps running around, wouldnt be a fair fight in pallet chases.

    My arguement back- Chucky can work because if any of these people actually watched the movies you'd realize that Charles Lee Ray was on the verge of death and chanted one of his black magic spells which allowed him to transfer his soul to the good guy doll.

    During this moment this would be the perfect time for the entity to snatch Charles because it feeds off hope so Charles last chance to continue living is him putting his soul into the doll.

    Him transferring his soul itself would essentially make him weaker/susceptible to being overwhelmed by the entitys power and dragged into the entity's world/realm due to his soul being easily exposed since it's not in his body.

    *Therefore we can now have Chucky in DBD as his human form but able to use his Good Guy doll as some sort of assistance in the game , kind of like the pigs RBT.

    *Another point as to how this can work is because literally bill died in the L4D2 campaign and was snatched while he was in limbo and lives partially in the DBD realm.


    So my point is as long as you can prove and logically make a killer appear in the DBD realm anyone is game.

    I didn't know that about Chucky, never watched the films and always (ignorantly) thought of him as silly. But now it all makes sense to me. And your idea is good, I would back it.

    And yet, suckers like Legion make it into the game.

    Yeah i knew legion was a pile of ######### after they released his concept art of him staring into the mirror.

    His design was ass and you know it's true because literally everyone makes a cosplay of it within a day. lmao

    *Agreeing intensifies*

    I will never, ever, play a match as Legion.
