What would you want an Original killer be based off from?
Just curious to see what ideas would get the most votes if chosen to be an original killer.
Also, type why you chose that character since curious on whats your reason for that killer
I choose Headless Horseman since always loved The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and different versions of it. Also, he would fit pretty well in the game since of how gruesome he could be and the different outfits he could have ranging from the Medieval era to The Revolutionary war style. His lore could be really deep due to how he is coming back to life and his main goal.
Give a longer reason why if anyone asks.

Pharaoh aka Mummy
I would love a chapter based around unearthed ancient Egyptian horror. It's a classic setting and could even explore some of the cultural aspects while maintaining the theme of DBD. If they do a proper map, it would be cool to have the inside of a pyramid with all the chambers, tunnels, and treasure rooms.

Headless Horseman
That would be pretty awesome, just imagine having cosmetic sets based on Egyptian gods like Anubis or even a mix between Classic mummy with Entity corruption like the Demogorgon Entity outfit.
Power will prob be something about Sand or Locusts and main weapon will be a Khopesh.

Pharaoh aka Mummy
A pyramid map would be so cool
1 -
Plague Doctor
I have never thought of a killer with this aesthetic. But when i saw this idea, I thought about it and I think it would be a killer that could fit perfectly in dbd..

Plague Doctor
I mean i highly doubt that the devs will put another killer with the aesthetics of The Plage..
0 -
Pharaoh aka Mummy
Um, one is an Egyptian pharaoh and the other is a Babylonian priestess. Two very different things and they don't even look the same either. I guess the devs won't consider your plague doctor either because he shares the same aesthetic as our normal doctor(even has a plague doc mask.)

Puppeteer
Pupeteer would be hella scary.
i would love a Headless horsemen, but it's not possible since most if not all killer cosmetics are weapon, body, head/crown/hair
As for the other i just feel they would make great cosmetics rather than actual killers :
- Scarecrow : we already have a scarecrow Wraith skin
- Plague Doctor : well we already have it on the fancy Doctor cosmetic
- Black Knight : could fit Oni
- Jester : definitly a Clown outfit
- Pharaoh : would be Plague
- Pirate : there were two amazing entries for the Concept Contest that were a Blight and a Spirit
- Deep Sea : we already have a Trapper and there was a really cool Deathslinger concept in the contest

Jester
Honestly, I would still like a trickster figure -- one that has tricks.
1 -
Headless Horseman
All of these concepts are really cool but the headless horseman is unbeatable in terms of coolness
2 -
Deep Sea Diver [1930 outfit style]
Original would be cool and all but I'd probably prefer a licensed one ;)

Headless Horseman
Yeah true but I can't recall one except for Scooby-Doo and glad some people realized what outfit I meant XD.
Some reason when I was little I always found that the diver aka Ghost of Captain Cutler more threatening than any character in the show even in the underwater scenes on parts of the Shipwreck where it creeped me out the most.
Also not saying I want a Scooby doo chapter but just wanna point out an old fashion diver would be creepy in the game and since no one actually owns the Diver outfit style they can make it an original killer which you can buy with shards.
Plus like Adeloo said could have it as a Deathslinger outfit from contest submissions instead if we are never gonna get it as a killer but if it does come to that I just hope its a legendary skin with new audio and chase music since would be weird hearing western music with a Diver chasing you XD.
Overall would be pretty cool killer since we don't have a Sea/Ocean based killer yet besides cosmetics for like Trapper.

Headless Horseman
In my defense, I did have an idea listed as a Steampunk/Robot killer but ran out of poll selections so might make a part 2 sometime.
2 -
Headless Horseman
Very true, would be cool if he was released somewhere near Halloween and just have the teaser cut to a bridge across the water then hearing an echoing laugh.

Pirate
You're forgetting our best friend, The Big Daddy.

Black Knight
Knights can be pretty horrifying, but also kinda smexy so ye

Deep Sea Diver [1930 outfit style]
Heck yeah, I would love to see this! He was always so creepy back in the show ❤

Plague Doctor
I have always enjoyed the Plague Doctor. I would love a killer based on them

Headless Horseman
Huh, might make this a series to see who is the most wanted concept idea and replace the low-voted ones with new ones until one of the ideas reaches a certain number cause I do have quite a bit more ideas I can throw in here.
Have not this many votes in a poll since my Babadook poll XD.
Probably select the top 4 or 5 and replace others with different killer ideas.
Gonna wait a few days to see how many votes we can have here until incoming votes start to slow down.
So far Scarecrow, Plague Doctor, Pharoah, and Deep Sea Diver are winning.
Sad about The Headless Horseman but eh this is just for fun just to see what is the top wanted killers by the community and its not some DBD official poll so it's not like he is never gonna be in the game at some point so there always hope he is coming down that bridge to the Entity's Realm XD.
Just for fun once the series is over gonna type out Mori's and Trailers of the winners cause might be fun and maybe Power's or Perks if I feel like it but might be a while since do wanna try and type killers I can think off to see who will be the winners.

Headless Horseman
If they would actually ride a horse, that would be really cool!
Also an Original Werewolf Killer would be nice.
1 -
Black Knight
A dark knight killer with a medieval map (like maybe a castle?) would be DOPE.
1 -
Scarecrow
From that least probably a scarecrow, whose power somehow incorporates the crows
but I actually want to see a killer that has an insect or spider based power.
1 -
Scarecrow
Not only do I love this poll but your options are awesome. I would be very happy with any of these, but my allegiance is to the burlap and hay.
0 -
Headless Horseman
Damn these are all really good choices.
1 -
Scarecrow
Yeah, his power is summoning his horse for highly increased movement speed. While on the horse he has less turning and can't pick up downed survivors or do anything but attack. He could still fit through doorways but because of less turning wouldn't be great indoors. Also the horse should either be able to break pallets(instantly) or jump over them but no window access. And when you want your basic M1 KILLER, you get off the horse.I would want this even more than a Scarecrow or Werewolf.
1 -
Headless Horseman
That would be awesome and for a 2nd power, he can throw a fireball/pumpkin which causes a small area to go up in flames for a small amount of time which if survivors go through the flames they will become injured but not downed. If they are already injured then they will have a broken or hindrance effect but can only use it if you're not on the horse. This would be useful for small spaces where riding a horse would troublesome so The Horseman won't be map-dependent which will be useful if you want to play him all the time but don't wanna be wrecked because of a bad map.
Might make a concept with this at some point since would make a cool folk tale chapter.
Also seems this poll might come to an end soon so now gotta figure out what ideas to replace the low-voted ones for next poll.
1 -
Scarecrow
This would be SO much fun. I do hope we start getting some Halloween-type Killers in the next year. Especially anything pumpkin related.
