The Thing
I can't get this thought out of my head since they introduced licensed killers. What if the next licensed killer they decided to introduce was the creature from The Thing? Imagine 4 survivors working on a generator and then another Dwight walks up. Is it the real Dwight?? No built in voice chat adds to the paranoia. Like who can you trust? This would add an amazing new meta to the game because the person who is healing you can just morph into an alien killing machine and slaughter you in the name of the entity. Just a thought I've had. Would love to discuss this with others and see what they think.

You are not the first one suggesting killer with similar power, I believed this is the nth time this get brought up, and the answer is always the same.
It will just fall victim of SWF and no, it will never work unless DBD somehow able to block third party voice chat software from work.0 -
Technically any killer can fall victim to SWF, but I also don't see SWF as that large of an obstacle. Sure, it makes matches more difficult but nowhere near impossible. I also play a lot of SWF and no one really says what they're doing and gives their positions constantly, unless asked. If the creature could change into random other survivors during the match, then I don't see voice chat being a problem either.

Player 2 :" I'm cleasing a totem right now."
Player 1 : "Allright guys the killer is a copycat." ... Starts running.
Killer : "Wait, I'm your real teamate, I swear !"Results : epic fails all around.

Imagine a bunch of streamer versing copycat killer and accusing each other to be the copycat, and then the real killer suddenly lunge at them. It perfectly made for a hilarious moment in video, funny for SWF/streamer, can caught non-swf survivor off guard but a nightmare to killer. BHVR is trying to close the gap between SWF and random, this killer is useless versing SWF and decently strong for random, which is opposite of what they trying to do.
Yes, I play my fair share of SWF as well and I get what you said by not always sharing the location. But once you know who is the killer, you will start playing around the killer or just make up rules like always assume the others to be the killer and no approaching without safe word or something.0 -
A few weeks ago I suggested the same idea: https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/22749/new-killer-the-thingIt would be really interesting! **

Dude this is like at least the 39th time someone in their mother suggested a copycat shape-shifting killer. Seriously so if I would friend groups would easily wreck this killer to make matters worse it couldn't work in Solo play anyway0 -
