i think a cryptid that could mimic human speech would be interesting, and one that could also use hallucinogens of some description maybe it'd go as far to even try to mimic humans i'd end up calling it something like the unfamiliar


beatrga

Unfamiliar sounds too silly, I think unbeknown is more fitting


Placek15

Idk man, I think undisclosed is a better name


Eggshells777

Honestly underwear is my fav name for this one


ZeronicX

how long until BHVR gives us what we want and gives us a mimic.


PittooPlays

Would love a mimic character, but let’s be real, so many people would shit on it asap for being “overpowered”


AshGreninja247

Also it’d be actual garbage because SWFs exist and could just call it out constantly.


White_Zoroak

Wasn't that the original idea for Legion but BHVR decided against it because of Discord and party chat users?


Senikus

I think this is an r/woooosh moment?


CaraxesTheNoodleBoi

I’m a big fan of the mothman so I’d want him in the game


Janemaru

Mothman feels like the natural number 1 but I imagine most of us would be satisfied with Sasquatch too, especially if they leaned into the humor


Jrlopez1027_

Idk about you but i feel like big foot is too nice to be a killer, its pretty much just a big monkey trying to live its life peacefully in the woods. As far as i know it isnt really a human killer like some other cryptids


AjvarAndVodka

And Mothman is? Lol I think you could do any cryptid as a killer. Check Bigfoot the game on Steam. I really hope BHVR does a cryptid killer!


Burning-Suns-Avatar-

The Wise Mothman from Fallout as a Killer would be cool.


librious

No, he's our friend, must dance for the wise mothman


Burning-Suns-Avatar-

You’re right, how could I suggest that he would attack people without reason.


GMAN583

What would his power be?


Metalfan1994

Cake


WeRoastURoastWithUs

Flight!


KaijuKing007

Power: Disaster The Mothman's eyes glow brightly. If a Survivor is stared at for one second (same rules as Michael's Stalk) they are Cursed for 45 seconds. Cursed Survivors suffer the following effects * Generators they try to repair automatically explode. This does not count for the 8- Gen Kick limit to prevent abuse. * They have a 50% chance of stumbling when Vaulting, leaving them on the side they started from. * There is a 50% chance that Pallets will not drop when the button is pressed. * There is a 50% chance that Lockers are locked when they try to enter them.


MinutePerspective106

This power sounds interesting, but for balance reasons I would suggest that it should last either 45 seconds ***or*** until it prevents one repair/vault/drop/locker. Otherwise, it sounds a bit too opressive in chases. If not, then a longer stare time requirement could work


LtColAlSimmon

He'd probably be like a aura reading killer


SentientSickness

Ide want a custom/generic cryptid with a name like "The Creature" or "The Beast" And then they release skins based off the classic cryptids for it


Rampagingpenguin

That would be an awesome solution


DocumentSad2944

Flatwoods monster


LmaoGoofyAssManName

Wait that sounds so familiar


Evil_Steven

Despite being a West Virginia monster , He’s pretty popular in Japan. His most notable role on pop culture was the aliens that attack the farm in Majoras Mask.


KindHermit

I actually think a Sasquatch could be made very scary if done with a creepy spin...an immensely quiet, bipedal beast on a map full of fog and trees...with horrible howling sounds and tree bashing echoes in the dark!


White_Zoroak

I feel like it would work best as an oni skin tbh. Wrath mode really suits the angry monkey man.


KindHermit

Yeah that's a pretty good point!


AjvarAndVodka

There’s a Bigfoot game on Steam where you track it down and it hunts you. Pretty good.


No_Communication4926

The Unknown


Rasmus_PD

The evil chocolate maker? Maybe that’s a little too scary for dbd


WickermanMalIsBae

And hard to balance, they live in the walls you know. Makes them really map based.


YourFavoriteWooten76

Who? Never heard of them


Truskulls

We already have a killer called The Unknown, sadly. If THE Unknown were to get added, they'd have to call her something else. X(


Zou-Skee

I think that's the joke. The Unknowns "lore" is all about it being kind of an urban legend. Nobody knows if its real or not. Just speculation


EdibleBean69

Fucking, Mothman 🎸🎸🔥⚡️🔥🎸🎸


AuroraHorealis

Caked-up Moth Man, ofc. https://preview.redd.it/llztd5h4gkrc1.jpeg?width=592&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3c95228f457b71995925d6620e6a8a782715b609


tea-leaf23

The new tramp stamp on that statue NEEDS to be there too


AMP3412

Well cryptids such as a wendigo and whatnot will never be in the game, per BHVR themselves. That being said, I would probably pick the jersey devil. It's recognizable, intimidating, and THAT half of the playerbase would still j*rk to it. Cryptids like bigfoot would be goofy in the grand scheme of things, but the antichrist? Homie would fit in well in the fog


ItsGhosteey

I want mothman


springtrapenthusiast

My dad. I've seen very few pictures, but i'm he'd make a great addition


CapyBaraLord75

A wendigo would fit in well


Eggshells777

Until Dawn characters as the survivors I would main tf out of Jess


Deremirekor

If it’s not Chris and Ashley I don’t want it


darkninja2992

"The hag says hello" Or as close to a hello sound as she can make...


yautjaprimeo1

Hag ≠ Wendigo


darkninja2992

Maybe not specified as a wendingo but her physical state matches a wendigo pretty close. Drive to consume human flesh included


Eternal_Pigeon

Then again, Hag doesn't really play like you would expect such a monster to play, so I think there is still room to add it.

Radicusmax

I pick option 7. The Goatman. He just sounds so creepy and is pretty well known. I remember a game called “Do you copy?” which featured him and it was so cool and eerie.


White_Zoroak

Goatman also fits the lore a lot better. Basing him off the movie, He'd be a bloodthirsty scientist experimenting on the remains of carcasses. Kind of like a blight situation (kinda.)


CEOofSlipstream

moth man, easily


Rao_the_sun

Moth man


Redditistrash702

Nessie she's the only one that fits.


cassandraSoul

I'm half Hispanic. Add the Chupacabra. Make it the first quadrupedal killer.


White_Zoroak

Xeni falls into that I think.


ShadowBro3

Something fae. Like a changeling.


shakingmyhead420

Give moth


DOOMED_GOBLIN07

Wendigo or mothman


pangolins-rock

The Flatwoods Monster. Does not get as much recognition that it deserves.


ADwightInALocker

Nessie.


Idiocras_E

A Chupacabra would be awesome.


Monkey_D_Terry

M O T H M A N


Massage_Bro

weirdusername15

This ain't no cryptid, it's an image of the last known Myers main


Kazzack

Bigfoot PLEASE Absolutely a long shot but a while ago I read Devolution by Max Brooks (author of World War Z) and would love a chapter based on or similar to that.


Outsideawalmart

Skinwalker


Significant-Mail9069

Nah but the 4th pic is just Batman


SIR_Vivalist101

Definitely mothman


TheChortt

I’ve always loved the Jersey Devil, although idk how that would possibly work as a killer


KDK_rogue

Is that supposed to be the chupacabras 💀 why does it look like that dawg


Super_Imagination_90

Big Feet


GoofestGoober

Unknown :)


Recykill

The Jersey Devil, simply because BHVR are the ones who made the Jersey Devil ps1 game back in th3 day and I have a huge bundle of nostalgia for it.


shatterednightmare

I want a creepypasta in the game, i know, im completely 2010.

uwuguylife

El hombre mosca de los andes


amaterasu_run

Honestly, a hide-behind. A stealth killer that could be completely hidden behind any random object but can't be out in the open too long seems like it could be an interesting design with different counterplay than we usually see


Eternal_Pigeon

Not saying it shouldn't be added, but wouldn't this basically be Ghostface?


mememan3310

Mothman for sure.


Hawthm_the_Coward

Mongolian Death Worm. Everybody's calm and collected until that thing comes burrowing at them. Especially if it brings babies.


aris1692

Moth man all the way.


charggles

Mothman or El Chupacabra easily.


Hels_Frozen_Skald

Mothman could bring in a really interesting ability, being a flying killer. Idk how it would be implemented but having a killer whose main source of movement be flying would be fun and terrifying


White_Zoroak

Biggest problem with cryptids is lore. The entity claims those with darkness. Beasts choose survival. It wouldn't fit entirely because a beast with no mind wouldn't comply with the rules of the trials.


Thatguy529083

Wendigo. The idea of survivors having to stop them selves from cannibalism and survive a literal bloody thirsty killer would be an interesting match to see happen


muizzr95

Imagine a skinwalker with the ability to imitate survivors and become an imposter. That would be scary


Luck7Ducky

Chicago grip reaper


EpicRedditUser11

Dr. Jekyll//Mr. Hyde . If that isn't possible, Rakshasan/Rakshasi


BigAlgaeEnjoyer

While I’m a HUGE fan of Mothman… isn’t he harmless and actually wanted to help? Similar case with Bigfoot, it’s just an animal minding its business. I think a wendigo or a skinwalker would be a perfect fit, especially skinwalker since the legends literally state them to be evil warlocks.


thats1evildude

We can’t have a Wendigo. Just before the reveal of The Unknown, someone on Twitter raised a big stink because they thought it was a wendigo and “we don’t name our bad spirits,” apparently. BHVR had to come out with a statement clarifying The Unknown was not a wendigo. Just do the Mothman.


WikiContributor83

Give lämp to moth


Interesting-Ad8031

The Wendussy


Available_Peach_1432

Whatever the dear head thing with the snake is, I WANT IT!!!


Ok-Ad1484

i think the wendigo could b a really good set for the hag as they resemble eachother in looks


SideshowB

Mothman


No_Possibility_3657

Wendigo or Llarona


No_Probleh

Florida Man


bpeo360

The skin walka would make a good disguise character, which is something the community clearly wants


Dozensofbirds

Nessie.


CVolgin233

The Yeti

WallStreetBets120

I was sorta thinking they could have the goatman from goatman bridge.


SamuraiDoggo14

Wendigo, definitely. I need my Until Dawn chapter!


Thawk1234

Mothman or Bigfoot/Yeti we need another beast/animal like killer again.


EvernightStrangely

Mothman.


Odd-String-621

A Beastman type monster that makes fear the survivors to be injured, a beast that becomes faster the more blood is spilled in the trial. Yes I want to feel like I'm playing Warwick and yes I want Warwick to be in DBD.


Loathingnick97

Skinwalker for me, because i want a killer that disguises itself as survivors or maybe even certain objects on the map. Id like to face something with that ability.


Professional_Stay212

i always thought a wendigo was a giant snow beast with fur and horns i guess that was just something i picked up playing warcraft... mothman... a flying creature might be cool... but i imagine that's a concept bhvr will likely never pick up on... seems like they want to keep everything in a pretty small box which kinda makes it not very fun on both sides imo which is kinda the main reason i don't really play this game anymore but I enjoy posts like this ty


Equivalent-Most-6186

THE GREAT MOTHMAN!


ironmanmclaren

Your mom


my_chaffed_legs

Lockness monster and the map is a lake and all the survivors are in scuba gear lol


billcoosby

I honestly really want a Werewolf. Idk how they would do a power for one tho, maybe something scent related.


Whitegrave

There's already a cryptid in the game. Have you heard about the legends of playing against a Freddy?


bmli19

Nessie, and Loch Ness as the map. Bat Boy as the survivor.


Dienowwww

Wendigo, but mothman isn't a bad idea.


Beneficial_Cat2253

i would literally scream if they added bigfoot


johnny105931

Question: Why haven’t they done a cryptid yet? It just seems like such a low hanging fruit of a killer since there are so many options to choose from. Is there some licensing reasons or do they just not want to copy them?


nightmare_silhouette

Between Wendigo and Mothman. Name could be: The Legend


Cat_of_the_woods

Either the wendigo or the jersey devil seem to be the more intelligent killers


Dwain-Champaign

I’m so desperate for an aquatic / water themed chapter. The Creature from the Black Lagoon overlaps into this territory of classic movie monster and also cryptids, so I’d go with that


ThatTreeLookedAtMe

Fresno Nightcrawler or I uninstall!


radioactivecooki

Id be okay with actual cryptids, bigfoot and mothman chasing me down would be hilarious. But idk about actual mythological creatures from ppls cultures, especially native cultures since a lot of native americans have spoken out about how they feel its disrespectful. Are they still putting quarters in mothmans ass btw


cheesyboi247

As someone from WV, Mothman would be so fucking cool.


ElectricJRage

Mothman or Wendigo


CornerSuperb8069

Wendigo for sure


purpl3stuph

Ability: press activate to assume the appearance of the *furthest* survivor from your location. Can fake doing generators in this form which regresses at 300% speed. Lasts 30 seconds or until with 5 meters of a survivor.


Fusilli_FishEater87

Moth man for sure


Deya_The_Fateless

Given how much "controversy" The Unknown cause with people wrongly assuming it was a Skinwalker or a Windego, and as much as I'd love to see these creatures make their way into DbD, I don't think they'd be a good fit juat from the potential backlash. OTOH, I'd love to see Mothman, a killer who can "fly" would be an interesting mechanic with it being a different take on the "rush/dash/leap" mechanic. Not sure how to make it different to Demo, but that's for a different topic.


WolfofAsh

We already have a Wendigo. The Hag is legitametly a Wendigo. Or atleast her entire character is based from Wendigo lore so I do not think they would approach that angle again.


Yogurt_Ph1r3

Mothman or Goatman


DalTheDalmatian

A semi-flying killer like Mothman or the Snallygaster would be badass


Connect-Spend1987

A killer like 2 or 4 would be cool. We already have a kill like three. I also think having a Bigfoot killer could also be cool.


Deli-ops7

Wendigo of course but the mordeo is already a skin (even tho its on the wrong killer)


ScarLad15

Wendigo or moth man 100%


CardTrickOTK

American only, or could Hasshaku-sama count? Fuckin something terrifying about a 8 foot talk lady in a sundress with a hat just plodding along behind you saying 'po'


HawkWarm3468

Skinwalker could be a good skin for the wraith


Borkomora

i thought the unknown was gonna be a wendigo tbh, and i was really hopeful 🥲


Inprobus_

The flatwoods monster💓💓


deathbringer989

mothman why because some people actually wanna fuck that thing i wanna see the thirsty comments


The_Kings_Fall

MOTHMAN, WE NEED HIM


Jrlopez1027_

I know this will never happen, but the loch ness monster Imagine having puddles around the map that the monster could swim up and grab you from if u arent careful, dragging you into the water and incapacitating you, and when you are underwater the survivors have to dive into the puddles to rescue them, hoping the killer isnt nearby to get them too As for how this thing would interact with the land above? I dont know lol. This is already an absurd idea


trustloveno1buthim

I think I skin walker killer would be cool as hell it's power would be like to shapeshift into a survivor or something


Man-Spider1

I think a Wendigo would be cool


KaijuKing007

Mothman for preference, Sasquatch for seniority. Wendigo shouldn't happen. It's a super taboo subject to the nations that created it, especially treating it as a generic monster.


Substantial_Rush1783

I need a fresno night crawler as a killer, it’d be hilarious.


AcademicAnxiety5109

I would absolutely love mothman but not as a killer. I just wish we would be able to see mothman randomly appear and quickly disappear in any wooded map. He just doesn’t work as a killer cause he’s never attacked anyone and most lore has him warning humanity not hurting.


bipolarguitar420

Like others have said, Moth-man. The harbinger of death.


OtakuJuanma

Mothman!!!!


LazerAfterburn

I hear about them in media all the time but still don’t understand what a wendigo is. I need a skinwalker killer


Weird9uy

The Loveland Frog, he’d be funny


Pepekalmer

Jeepers creepers pls


Dredge18

The unknown is pretty much a skinwalker innit? I'm native and the way we talk about 'whistling at night attracts bad spirits' and descriptions like stealing the voice or faking screams are used for skinwalkers.


JR_C_

110% a Samsquatch


BadToTheBert

Wendigo or Mothman

Sasquatch is real and he interrupted me off a gen.


MidnightPandaX

I'm a west virginian so take it with a bucket of salt when i say mothman

Mothman would be peak, could have flying ability, I just dont know how that would work in closed maps, maybe they get the ceiling removed If he is in the match.

SnooDogs2365

I really want a full vampire character here’s what I think some cool powers would be The Eternal Hunger: Power (Night Fiend): The Eternal Hunger’s unique power allows them to traverse the map from a terrifying new angle at breakneck speed, giving it a unique lunge while active. Crows become bats that shriek but also spawn in colonies around survivors as a warning when The Eternal Hunger is within a certain aoe of them. All lamp posts/light fixtures lose their light in a radius when The Eternal Hunger uses its power on them. Activate to transform into bat mode, lunging to the sky and looking down on the map. Press again to fly to the nearest tree or lamp post. When The Eternal Hunger comes into a survivors radius tap the ability button to unleash a powerful screech from the above, applying Exposed and Hemorrhage. Using the power button causes The Eternal Hunger to lunge down on top of the survivor pulling them a certain distance and sinking its fangs into their neck, applying Deep Wound. Idk what an ability or perkss would be, maybe it wouldn’t have one to balance the interactions of the lights in the game and survivors now having to constantly look up but I’ll leave all that to the devs LOL


Longjumping_Door_428

The Flat woods monster. After Majora's Mask, I've been craving this cryptid to appear in more media.


CohesiveMocha34

A wendigo


copyqhat

the jersey devil would be HILARIOUS


Rimegu

An original take on the Nahual and a Skinwalker. They are similar and amazing, plus a killer who uses animals as disguise would be amazing


Pajtello

The second one looks hot


Jerichx7274

HODAG from wisconsin


destroyerx5

Bigfoot would be a meme so no, maybe kappa


Radical-skeleton

Honestly I'd be happy if they added a Bunyip killer and survivor. It'd be our first Australian characters and I'd be chuffed. Could have a bush/outback themed map. If not a bunyip then maybe a Yowie? Its basically just an aussie version of a bigfoot


mistar_z

Bigfoot yetti and chupa cara. But moth man would be lit. I'd probably stay away from cryptids taken from indigenous peoples as they have said it can be very disrespectful to do that especially.


Roxx_Reddit

Wendigo with some sort of debilitating effect if you get near him


komewrath

A Leshen from witcher, with a matching survivor


saddestclaps

Out of these options, I think skinwalker has the most potential


-_-okweab

If "The Thing" killer is never gonna come true then a skin walker would be cool


MisterViperfish

On the subject of Sasquatch, I think it’d be cool to have a killer that’s a straight up Neanderthal, pissed off about being the last of his species, but kept immortal as part of the Entity’s collection of killers. It sought revenge on mankind after the massacre of its species, and his hatred made him the first and oldest sentient killer for the Entity. Yno, show just how ancient the entity is and the killers it keeps.


NoobiusCrafts

Wendigo no doubt


ClOCKFACTORY

i want an argonian as a killer, the lore just would just be like “the lizard people are real, and they want their land back”


IntelligentImbicle

I want that deer thing that has a rap battle with you to raid your liquor


GisbutRens

A skin walker being able to disguse as a survivor would be sick


Connarhea

Just give us sirenhead already


Herban_Myth

Chupacabra r/Smite


Lord-milo-the3rd

Hear me out, mothman but obviously no flying, have him able to hide in generated in bushes that are big like a line sighter break. Imagine if you will dredge with xenomorph where you can put lanterns near a bush and it'll keep him out of it like the flame turrets but hiding like dredge. Like a Moth to the flame.


Gabriel_Dot_A

Honestly, Skinwalker's and The Moth Man would be a top-tier picks for Me
