What do you guys think of this type of killer design?
Scary or not?

Dredge hands down is the best for me when it comes to horror-theme. He is your nightmare in closet that hunts you. Abomination of dark thoughts of people that will come to eat you. Also great lore. Nightfall is just cake on top that fits well and makes him feel like a real monster from darkness.
Husk is not scary to me, but he is still cool. He is your typical "AI go crazy" but with a small twist of organic things rather than more machinery.
Unknown looks scary but his gameplay is not at all.

Compared to the rest, Singularity moreso fits the Evil is Cool type trope rather than focusing on the horror of evil. Still pretty terrifying but he's pretty badass with his modified body of perfection, the way he taunts his victims, and even Gabriel Soma comparing him to an ancient God. What makes him the unique of the three is that he's the only one to be fully sapient, being a bloodthirsty AI that enjoys and knows what he does, best shown with his voice lines.
Dredge is simply made of evil without any personal intentions, and Unknown, well, to be honest, is so much of a mystery that I can't be sure about that thing, but it's clearly trying to taunt its prey.

My favourite design type. These three are aesthetically my favourite original killers.

Hell yeah, I love them! I want more weird monsters in DBD!

They're the best original killer designs in DbD.

I'll just copy below the same thing i wrote in another thread about scary killer designs.

Scary is subjective, personally i don't think any of the killers (including Unknown) are scary, some of them are unsettling at best, but definitely not scary.

I still think the new killer looks like a mutant out of LISA
(this is a good thing)

The Unknown only looks sacry in the teasers and maybe in the lobby. When you're actually in-game he looks like a stickman

Dredge: Not really. I just see a turkey.
Singularity: Meh. I guess it's kind of creepy that it's a cold and ruthless machine that literally tries to enhance itself by absorbing your body but I keep thinking it would look so damn funny to trip it. Like, run up on it and kick its legs to make it trip.
Unknown: It's more goofy than anything else. I saw the ingame portrait and started laughing. It only got worse when I saw the actual thing. The worst is the pallet break. How am I supposed to take this thing serious? I just wanna poke it with a stick and see how it reacts. Or throw a pebble at it to see, if it'll fetch.

I can't take it seriously with an ass for a stomach. Dredge and Singularity look good. Can see the DNA in all 3 of them. Pretty confident the same designer for all 3.

Dredge and Singularity both look great!
The Unknown looks more goofy than scary sometimes.

Unknown looks like analog or "camera horror" i love it. reminds me off those old japanese horror manga and shorts
tho non of them really are scary.
but i like all the designs tho Singularities hook being like a wiggly scythe instead of a mantis claw kinda sucks

Dredge: Turkey
Singluarity: Meatballs
The Unknown: The first word I think about when I see The Unknown is goofy
Like I dont wanna play this killer with his default skin in a game where bullying and toxicity is so rampant especially from survivors.
Imagine playing this weak killer and being taunted by suvivors, look at that goofy looking killer, he's so bad, no thanks, survivors will neither find him scary or strong, they'll use that againts him, to me he just looks really off putting, I dont wanna see that deisgn on my screen when I either play him or againts him, but I wont play him anyway since I find his power to be just a combination of powers already in a game that doesn't fit him at all, he has a sci-fi type of cannon and an axe, the new chapter needed more time in the oven.

Now that you mention it, Unknown does look like a Junji Ito creation.

The new killer reminds me of Pennywise where you think he's one thing but he's actually another thing.

Not at all.
Looks like something out of a cheesy 2nd rate comic book out of the 70's.

Singularity doesn't really seem scary to me. Neither does Dredge, although I do think the design's neat.
Unknown though... I really can't put my finger on what it is, but something about it just deeply disturbs me.

For me personally, all these killers look more goofy than scary.
I can't lie either, I'm super disappointed in the Unknown's design based off the teasers, I really thought he was going to look way different than what we got. I know people like him though, so they definitely didn't completely miss, but for me I think he's the worst looking original killer they've released (besides Skull Merchant, everything about her sucks). I think there's a fine line between scary and too much and I think they tried way too hard to make him look scary and ended up with something that just looks super goofy.

The Unknown is a silly little guy imo.
When they showed that still of half his face in the camping teaser, I already knew I wasn't going to like it. I really dig the creepypasta vibes of the teasers so I see where they got the "big smile, no eyes" look from but idk with all the twisting and his head seeming so small, he just looks goofy lol. A little less twisting and more just deformations and disproportioned limbs would be creepy, and make him look less like Dwight lol, give it some longer stringy hair and make its head a little more of a proportionate size, idk. But yeah, he is creepy but I am def going to laugh more than be creeped out by him. His floppy nodders crack me up.

dredge and singularity dont disturb me as much as the unknown. Maybe bc of the analog/uncanny factor of it. just something about it.

Scary not fully uncanny yes i mean it's also a video game that has a lot of stuff so putting super realistic details can be hard unlike let's say dead space it's a single player game so no need for a server. So I think when it comes to scary it shouldn't be based on the full on graphics but also the idea of imagine that thing coming at you. I mean if you look at unknown in game uncanny in real life you wouldn't be standing there saying "Hey Bob wanna grab a cold one and watch the game?" So in the end scary no but uncanny or eerie yes definitely.

I agree, at least Skull Merchant is not off putting and if her kit wasn't so bad at the beginning, she would be one of the most popular killers, I think she looks great and her skins are great, the new killers is just off putting because of the way he looks, gross in a way that makes me not wanna play him or againts him, this is by far my least favorite chapter especially after those teasers made the dissapointment even bigger after the reveal
Imagine you're a new killer joining the fog and all everyone thinks of you is that you're a silly and goofy little guy, yeah the design is a miss in terms of scary and cool.

My favourite Killer Designs in the Game and 1 of the reason i Main Dredge and Singularity
Unknown is cleary the scariest of all 3 because he looks so human and Non human At the Same time u dont want to see this thing in the night
we need more Body Horror Killers like this and i hope BHVR continue this Kind of Killer Designs :)
still waiting for a nuclear based Killer

Unknown has his naked BUTT showing in the front below his shirt, with his pants hanging down like a thugs.
Thats literally the first thing I see, and I just can’t take it seriously. Who decided to twist his body around so you can see his butt cheeks from the front, lol?

I like dredge so damn much... she is "scary" personified.
don't find singularity particularly scary, more unsettling...
unknown falls into unsettling for me too, but the axe kinda ruins it. it's just too normal. too basic.
2 -
Dredge is good. The other 2 aren't scary at all.
2 -
I like all these for different reasons. The Unknown reminds me of Men in Black the alien cockroach in a man’s skin. The Dredge is just amazing. The Singularity is different in a good way.

for me, blight´s and deathslinger visual design are the best ones, but imagine those 3 things actally trying to kill you IRL like, holy
