Least (and most) original, original killers and why?

Which if the killers that are considered original for dbd seem the least original to you?


My money is on Spirit since she just sfeels like a mix of the grudge and the ring but cut up some. She feels like the most direct reference to other sources. I still like her a lot though.


Plague is most likely the most original original killer since she has a design that's hard to find a direct design reference.

    I personally think Blight was a very creative idea & I couldn't think of anything they copied him off of. He's just a pinball who shoots up drugs to make himself a speedy boi, what's better than that?

    As @OniWantsYourMacaroni said, Legion is literally just a group of rebellious teenagers.

    Legion is just creepypasta fanservice, so I'd consider them the least creative. Nothing special about them at all.

    Most creative though? For me, that'd be the Plague as well. A person who led her people, quickly rose to a position that many considered divine, only to fall to the sickness she led her people against and brought back by the Entity to spread it. A very gruesome but sick (pun intended) circle.

    I also think the Hags design is very unique overall, especially how she runs and her traps. But her origins and inspirations are pretty evident.

    Most original is slinger. The thought of a western inspired horror character is really cool and his visual and audio design is impeccable

    least legion is just boring

    I would have to say Deathslinger. The concept of an evil wild west/cowboy killer is pretty unique.

    The least creative and most boring is the Legion. They are also the least intimidating killers in terms of appearance and lore. Killed one person between the four of them. Yawn.
