Will we ever get a Short killer?
We have Average Height killers and Tall killers, but what about a short killer? Is this something people have thought about and want? I'd be cool with the idea, so long as they aren't quite as small as Victor. The POV would take some getting used to, but maybe their power would work in such a way where the low to the ground POV wouldn't matter as much. Interested to see how the community feels about such an idea.

Considering how comically bad Blight felt on the release my guess is probably not.
For context on release Blight's FoV was on par or a little shorter than Hag's, this wasn't intentional and actually made Blight significantly worse because you struggled to see around objects like cars when rushing.

What if they had a leap similar to Victor? Or could temporarily hover above the ground at Average height? Perhaps they could be a stance killer, hovering around to find survivors, then dropping to the floor to chase and use their real power? The possibilities are endless. The reason Blight felt so bad is because you really need to see what is happening all around you while pinballing around. If the short killer had a power that compensated for this, I think it would be a fun and unique addition to the roster.

Sadako is listed as short but Hag as average,they should list her as short too tbh.

2 of those are Average height killers(granted they are on the shorter side) and Victor is a power, not a killer.

It appears I was mistaken, Sadako is classified as short. My bad. But I'm talking like, half her height.

Victor has definitely killed me. Mori even. Definitely a killer lol /s

So dwarfism levels of short,could work if they make the killer carry survivors in a supernatural type of way like Sadako.Also worth mentioning that this killer would need an amazing power since you wouldn't see over loops well.

Screw it let's get crazy with it and make the killer just as short as Victor. Give us Cujoh as a killer. I can't imagine being chased by a dog. 🤣

Give them limited wall hacks, and give them a unique "dragging" animation instead of a carry animation.

Hag, Pig, Sadako, Freddy. As far as I know they are all more or less the same height. Maybe Pig and Freddy are a little taller.
I wouldn't play a killer with a POV similar to Victor's. You can hardly see anything when you are that small and corn blindness is a thing...

The fact that Hag is listed as the same height as Artist is insane.

Victor only works because he's 150% movement speed, if he wasn't he'd be miserable to play. With sight lines being such an important part of the game with everyone begging with basekit shadowborn until BHVR actually decided to add it and with Twins being the least played killer in the game I don't see BHVR revisiting the concept anytime soon.

If you want a tiny killer, I feel like you'd have to place the camera higher for the sake of making it playable. Otherwise seeing over things like boxes or grass would be a nightmare and the killer would just be a pain to play as.

I'm guessing you're looking into killers such as Chucky or Leprechaun? I would say Sadako would be as short as they get. Trying to loop as a killer who can't see crap over walls isn't a great design and I'm uncertain they'd be anything other than comical.
Granted, if they can pull it off then great, but for me there are many killer options which would work better with the mechanics and theme.

Aren't Hag and Sadako short killers?

Devs tried to say hag was the shortest killer they could make because of modeling issues, but victor shows that isn't the case. FOV could be an issue but you could just design their power with that in mind.

If they decide to add Chucky, yes. We need him in DbD tho.

Victor is small.
Sadako, Hag are short.
Also Smallface its a thing.

Not sure if this belongs here but does anyone else keep forgetting Singularity is gigantic when they play as him? Feels like his FOV should be raised, same way Victors is the shortest FOV

Chucky sounds like a fit.
