Killer Idea: Pennywise (The Dead Lights)

With the "it: Chapter 2" movie coming out, Pennywise, or The Dead Lights, would be an excellent addition to the game. I've come up with a pretty cool power for him as well, which I think is pretty balanced as well, I just need some perk ideas for Bill and Beverly.

Height: 6’4” (varies upon transformation)


Age: Unknown


Ethnicity: Unknown


Gender: Non Specific


Movement Speed: 4.4m/s (Torment) 4.6m/s(Terrify)


Terror Radius: 20 metres(Torment) 32 metres(Terrify)


Generator Interaction: Kicks it Twice


Weapon: Werewolf Claws

  • Sweeps his right hand
  • Lets the blood drip off


Power: Flavor of Fear

The Dead Lights transforms to manipulate and terrify it’s prey. Turning into the fears of his prey. His power is used to utterly terrify it’s victims, leaving them to confront their worst fears by bringing them to life.

  • Grants the ability to switch between Torment and Terrify modes
  • While in Torment mode, terror radius is smaller, allowing him to sneak up on survivors and plant up to 5 red balloons around the map and teleport to them at will, if survivors pop them, it will fill their Fear Gauge, The Dead Lights will be notified
  • While in Terrify mode, terror radius is larger, and movement speed is faster. He still retains the ability to teleport to balloons. His transformations are one of three fears: Headless Boy, Leper, Painting. Basic attacks are changed. Headless Boy throws smoking eggs, Painting plays a song and performs a lunge, and Leper vomits. Each attack fill a survivors fear gauge. When the gauge is full, The Dead Lights is able to grab them with the Deadlights, to Petrify them until grabbed or broken out by another survivor. 
  • Transformations are random
  • When using the Deadlights, an impossible skill check will appear, should a survivor succeed, they will break from his grasp, stunning him and resetting their gauge, should they fail, they will be Petrified
  • 5 second cooldown between transformations
  • Survivors with a full fear gauge scream at random times, alerting everyone on the map, and hallucinate The Thing, until they Face Their Fears. 
  • Fear gauge raises when being chased by, hit by, or inside The Dead Light’s terror radius.
  • Pallet Stuns break Transformations
  • Movement speed is slightly reduced while transforming
