Genuinely great ideas. See now I have my mind set towards some monstrous being like the earlier exampled Lamia. I was thinking an alternative way of hooking made sense but I never visualized it quite so viscerally until you called it 'The Final Consumption.' (God how upsetting would it be to be a survivor that finally hits death state, and the consuming killer just shudders before you hear the death bell. Absolutely wretched!)

I'd love to see this monster going around, survivor being dragged with the killer as it goes on to attack other survivors. Maybe there will be a relatively easy way to disable or stun the killer to pull out the consumed survivor. I imagine the killer's speed would be reduced. There may even be an interaction with the eaten survivor that if performed right may allow them to get themselves spat out so other survivors don't have to rescue them.

Lots of ways to go about it realistically. I'm thinking that it could be like Wesker's or Pyramid's infection/cage thing. Where once a survivor gets enough of X unique status effect they can be consumed. Could be saliva, could be venom, could be any number of concepts that reward good counterplay.

As a side thought, I'm not sure BHVR would bother with limb removal, too much remodeling and programming.

God the idea of being eaten alive is downright nauseating. There are a few times that you see something like that just browsing the internet. Even putting movies aside (And without going into too much detail) I've sometimes stumbled across clips of wild animals eating other ones, and my god nature just does not care about it's living or dead status. As long as it has meat, and it can be torn off, it's good to go. Pelicans eating things in one gulp? Hate it. Saw a clip of a komodo dragon eat an ENTIRE animal like it was nothing. Man the other day in real life I saw a spider make it's approach on a struggling praying mantis that landed in the web. It filled me with so much existential dread to see something so full of life about to die just like that. (I of course freed it, I have pictures too! But I won't clog up this thread with that.)

To continue, you're entirely correct, the idea of being eaten as a human being is dreadful. Being eaten alive, while still conscious, screaming, and struggling, the concept of potentially being alive inside and feeling being digested. Like whoa, god I hate it so much. I feel all sorts of things that I can't even describe in words. I'm sure most people do.

Realistically though that's why a vore killer is perfect for a horror game like DBD. Horror is a great way to face our fears and discomforts in safe ways for acclimation or exploration. For a current example. I absolutely can't stand the Artist. I don't mind birds but the body horror of artist with the bird-like movements upset me so much I look at her red stain and never her face. Don't even get me started on this horrific sounds. I swear sometimes when I'm trying to sleep I hear those howls echoing in my mind like a song stuck in my head. I'm sure I'll get desensitized to her one day.

You have a great approach to the concept and discussion.

Of course! I don't come here just to force people to read my poorly disgused fetishes.

Vore is scary!

I don't know if a diaper killer would work. Antagonists in horror wearing diapers isn't typically an element you see in mainstream media. I can think of times adults in diapers were used in comedy (Like that Yakuza scene.) but I don't believe there's much that scares people about a grown man or woman in diapers. Normally that visual illicits laughter towards an otherwise able bodied person in a humuliating position, or sorrow when it's someone who needs them (Like someone who's in hospice.)

I can think of Killer concepts that could wear diapers and that would work, but not because the diaper adds anything horrific, just that it would 'make sense' for the killer to have it. But those concepts would work just fine without it.

I'd accept being entirely wrong though. Just because it's not my phobia doesn't mean it wouldn't distress others to go against (Which is the point after all.)

So you're thinking fully fit, ripped to ######### dude wearing a diaper and using a weapon. Kind of makes me think of Richard Trager from Outlast if they had one instead of an apron. Oh actually how about a character that's similar to Titans from Attack on Titan but in a diaper. Now that you gave me an example I can totally see that working out. I rescind my earlier point, yeah that would suck to go against.

Also! Just remembered, Witches from Left 4 Dead have something similar to one.

Look last time I made a post like this people instructed me to touch grass. I can't keep doing these rituals of penance every time I want to get excited for things!
