The Thing Chapter?
The Thing Chapter-
Map: Antarctic base
Survivor: R.J. Macready
Killer: The Thing
The Things ability: The thing can shape change. It can take the form of a random living survivor in the match. When in this form it is almost identical to a normal survivor. When in survivor form the thing has no terror radius, no red stain, it cannot perform survivor actions and it cannot perform attacks. In order to perform attacks, the thing must transform back into it's original form. When it returns to it's original form, it gains the undetectable status for a short time.
Secondary ability: While in it's normal form, the thing can skitter at high speeds to cover large areas quickly. (Kind of like Hillbilly or Oni)
No current ideas for perks
Let me know any thoughts!

I've seen many people suggest a shape shifting into survivors ability but this is the first good one I've seen
I like the fact that it's a mix between wraith and billy

I love this movie and this would be an awesome chapter. In addition to MacReady, I would flip out if they got Wilford Brimley's character as a survivor. He is still alive (he's 85) so i guess it's possible he could do voice work. "Diabeetus" would be a plus.
Map locations I'd love to see: The shack with the noose and the area underneath that has a half-built spaceship. The room with the partly-dissected thing. The room where the blood bags were destroyed. The room with those poor dead dogs.
I think it would be cool if, when you tried to heal a wounded survivor who was actually the Thing, it would suddenly split open and try to absorb you (i guess wound you in DBD terms) like in the movie. Maybe it would shoot out tendrils and pull you close, sort of like the gunslinger's gun.
I'd also love to see the thing be able to become a survivor's head/crab monster - maybe it can assume that form and move really fast, but can't hurt you until it shifts back into a humanoid form.

The thing is my third favourite movie after Forrest Gump and scream, so I would be down to see the thing in the game.

I'm all for a thing chapter.
but I don't like the travel power... it's weird on it. we never see the thing being a speedy alien.
some sort of teleport or tentacle attack would be better.
does the thing teleport? no. but it feeds into the "it could be anywhere and anyone" vibe it has

I like it, would get decimated by SWF though.

The thing about... uhm... the Thing is how reliant it is on not facing SWF.
Against solos, it could be a truly horrific beast, but against SWF on coms... forget it.
This is probably the best rendition of a shapeshifter I've seen though. Survivor form for stealth rather than disguise. That is something that could feasibly work, but it would be very difficult to pull off.

I agree. Against a team of communicators would render it much less effective. Who knows though. Maybe theres a way around that fact?

most swf aren't communicating 100% of the time.
they are ike " doing a gen", " found the killer, it's x", "got a totem", "you STILL looping that guy?"
it would still work fine

Yes, yes, yes!!!! I love this idea! I had the same thought, and aside from Pinhead and Candyman, this is the most plausible and iconic horror monster that is missing from the catalogue.
I want this to happen so bad!

As much as I love that movie I don't think it will work for DBD.
Getting Kurt Russel's vocal will probably be 2-3 lines like when they got Bruce Campbell's. The idea of a shape shifting killer sounds great but anyone with comms will negate this power. As we've seen in the past a killer whose power can be canceled by survivors tend to struggle at high ranks. We all know the devs are not going to tackle swf and headsets.

Macready can never come to DbD. Even The Entity can't handle a bearded Kurt Russel. If she brought him over he'd only be used to serve her tea, shirtless..and never part of the trial....

I actually don't care about any difficulties :) This is my number 1 Horror movie in the world! And i want this monster to appear in DBD very-very bad!!! I want him to be the scariest of all yet presented! :) I beg developers for this to happen) Just look at this =)
