What do you all call the killers of dbd?

Hello!

I just wanted to know what you call the killers?

Do you call them by their killer name in the game or by their character name/real name/lore name or do you use nicknames? If you use nick names can you tell me?

Just wondering. Then i call them by a mix sometimes real name/lore name, sometimes in game names and sometimes nicknames.

    Usually their killer name. Shortened versions for some, like Doc, Myers and Demo. Only one I give a nickname to is Bing Bong.

    Cannibal must be tiring if you try to use callouts. "Guys, worse version of Billy is on me!" Later, "Worse version of Billy is headed to your gen!"

    If you don't like it here, then leave instead of insulting every one for using their own little funny nicknames. I made this discussion for everyone to share their creativity and funny nick names and a bit of curiosity of how many use their lore name.

    So leave instead of spreading negativity.

  • HelloThere
    HelloThere Member Posts: 59

    If you call them by their ingame name fine. Thats what the whole discussion is about but please don't call people cringy for calling them something else. Just say you use the in game names.

    Don't ruin the fun for everyone else just because they use different names.

    I use Jigsaw to refer to Pig since its the name of that killer persona (same as Ghostface is used to refer to all his incarnations even if they are different people).

    I typically call them by their normal names. Only a few rare exceptions:

    wraith - ding dong killer

    clown - guy with alcohol issues

    Trying to remember them:

    Leatherface: Was "Fat Boi", now he's "Buuuuuuuubbbbba"

    Pig: "Piggy"

    Demogorgan: "Testicle Head"

    Freddy: "Fredbear"

    Hag: "No ######### off no. Why in the absolute ######### is this thing in the game".Her name can change on a game by game basis.

    Legion: My mates call him "Lag" (think it's a reference to some youtuber/streamer). I always thought they were saying "Plag" and thought we were facing Plague.
