      I'd say Vengeful might be better as the name for the category rather than Wrathful.

      You see this one thing that seems a little off about that list. It's crazy as this might sound some Killers as the devs have told us and explained in the back story our kind of forced to be there and some like the cannibal in the huntress honestly don't know any better. Seriously whenever the huntress gets hit by a pallet she goes into a temper tantrum you know like a child they are mentally Disturbed.

      I agree with almost all of the OP. But not all killers who are "victims" are vengeful. Also I still feelThe Pig should be on the "tragic" side.

      I made a topic about this a while back:

      https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/21377/what-are-the-killers-motivations-and-how-do-they-relate-to-the-entity#latest

      TLDR; Killers have (broadly) one of four motivations

      1] Forced to kill [Trapper, Wraith, Pig]
      2] Coerced to kill [Cannibal, Huntress]
      3] Exchange for kill [Hillbilly, Nurse, Hag, Spirit]
      4] Sheer Cruelty [Evil Beings] [Shape, Doctor, Nightmare, Clown]

      So where should I place the Legion?
    • Member Posts: 2,428

      If we consider Legion as just Frank, then Evil Beings sounds fitting. But if we consider Legion as the combination of all 4 of them, you could place them in Puppets, though Frank will be the odd one out in that category. :P

    • Member Posts: 31
      I put Frank into evil beings and the rest into puppets. Any objections?

      This post is great, I like that you splitted up the Legion in two.

      Thanks.

      Why is the Hillbilly indepted with the Entity? The Entity never did anything for him except for taking him.
      Also saying that the Doctor is a evil being is correct but he was also forced into working for the Entity. Why would the Doctor wear this torture gear it just hurts him and makes him more distracted? Also his head sosmetic says he is forced into a maniacal grin implying that it isn't really his choice and if you look at his base body cosmetic he has electric stuff in his arms indicating some kind of torture

      Where do you think I should rearrange the two?
    • Member Posts: 2,428
      By indepted I thought jt referred to in general, not just the Entity. Like Rin against her father, Hag with the cannibals of the swamp, Nurse with the entire hospital life, and Hillbilly with his parents. And that Evil Beings is just people who turned evil or are evil.

      Did I get it wrong?

      I feel like the list should be more like this. The higher in the list they are, the more I think they fit into that category.

      Evil Beings
      It goes beyond killing, it's a primal need to cause suffering.
      1. Nightmare
      2. Shape

      Indebted/Driven 
      These killers either kill out of rage or some other emotion for a specific person or set of people, or because the Entity helped them.
      1. Spirit
      2. Cannibal
      3. Pig
      4. Hag
      5. Hillbilly
      6. Nurse

      Natural Born Killers
      They would kill with or without the Entity, killing is what makes them feel whole.
      1. Clown
      2. Huntress
      3. Legion (Frank)

      Puppets
      They have been forced into killing in one way or another.
      1. Legion (Joey, Julie, Susie)
      2. Trapper
      3. Wraith
      4. Doctor

      The problem with your list is that Freddy doesnt match with your definition. He kills out of revenge. While he was a pedophile (as per the 2010 reboot) while alive, he didnt want death. He falls in the Indebted category.

      I dont know about Halloween lore, but Myers was a killer since birth. Wouldnt that make him a natural born killer?

      And Doctor wasnt forced to kill. His torture techniques would lead to death, by themselves. He would better fit in any other category. He might be forced to kill following the Entity's rules, but he definitely would kill without its aid.

      https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/comment/508228#Comment_508228

      It would obviously be natural born killers as he killed before the Entity took him and when the Entity took him it says in his Bio that he smiled in anticipation

      I was just reading my list and noticed a massive goof on evil beings. Updated description.

      Natural born 100% but with the exception that killing doesn't make it "whole" it literally does it just because it wants food. You can definitely make a opposite case for it though because it is a highly intelligent animal.

      Shouldnt clown be listed in "evil beings"? He got into killing just because he likes hurting others, and laughs each time he manages to hit a survivor

    • Member Posts: 2,238

      "Evil Beings" is a bit too similar to "Natural Born Killers" imo.
