A Thing Chapter mostly on me being a huge fan
Normally I'd go to feedback and suggestions for this but I'm lazy.
You know what I wanna see? A killer that gains strength and moves (much) faster the more you look at him/her/it. Including when you see its aura.
They haven't done that yet and I think it would be a neat way to turn things on its head.
Know what this makes me think of? The Silence, from Dr. Who.

Not an exact comparison to what you suggested, but it's close in that it's an entity you can't make eye contact with.
Alternately, also in Dr. Who, there are the Weeping Angels which you HAVE to keep within your sights.

I would LOVE to get some feedback on these chapters I've created
Repo! The Genetic Opera: Survivors get missed payments when they go too long without repairing or cleansing, and 3 missed payments makes them oblivious and exposed when they're not repairing or cleansing. Killers power allows him to see survivors auras and status effects during a chase, and gives him movement/vault/break/stun recovery bonuses for every survivor he can see with his ability.

Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark: A swarm of implike Fae that leave ambushes on objects they interact with. When survivors get Fae attached to them they are basically annoyed (very slightly hindered and can't hear as well) but can preform skill checks to remove them, at the risk of revealing their position when failed. The swarm can go into swarm mode to automatically leave ambushes and attach fae to survivors, but the swarm can't attack in this mode

Left 4 Dead: basically a killer that lets you cycle between different powers as the game progresses, and gives you more control over that power if survivors gen rush. Too complicated to actually be implimented but its a fun idea

Game mode - Blood Feud (1v1 killer simultaneously with 3v3 survivors): survivors compete to power their exit gates faster while killers compete for hooks, kills, and try to defend their designated generators.

Just gonna drop these here (name linked to thread with concept), there are plenty of killer concepts in the ‚Share your Work‘ section
Hannibal, Charlie(The Darkness), The Blair Witch, The Firebreather, The Photographer, The Ice Queen
I love reading new chapter ideas, I'll start going through these and tell you what I think. (Excited to read about Charlie, I'm a big fan of don't starve)
Really would like to see a war torn soldier killer in this game. This idea is kinda Rambo inspired :p
Killer: The Soldier
TR: 32m Height: Tall
Movement Speed: 115%
Weapon: Bowie Knife
Power: Guerilla Tactics
Years of war have trained the Soldier in the ways of stealth and silent destruction. Press the 2nd Active Ability Button to crouch, hold to crawl. While crouching, movement speed is slightly decreased and the TR is halved (~110%). While crawling, movement speed is moderately deceased and the Soldier has no TR (~100%).
Special Attack: Throwing Knife
Press the Active Ability button to throw a knife at a Survivor (the Soldier has 4 knives). Hitting a Survivor with the knife injures them for one health state. The knife has an effective range of 18m due to its curve. The soldier can reclaim his knives after downing a Survivor hit by the knife or after a short time after the injured Survivor has been healed.
Special Ability: Camouflage
While crouching, The Soldier's uniform blends in with his surroundings (not invisibility but color changing uniform/face paint). While crawling, the Soldier also adds foliage and loses the sounds of his movement and breathing (you can still hear grass and environmental noises caused by his movement).
Perks:
1) Espionage:
You gather intelligence and knowledge about your enemies before beginning the hunt. At the start of the trial, see the auras of all Survivors for 4/6/8 seconds. See the auras of items on the ground, and when standing over them see the item's rarity and addons.
2) Demilitarized Zone
Set a perimeter to guard you territory. After kicking a generator, it and the closest two generators are highlighted in yellow. If a Survivor starts working on one of these generators or enters the area inside them, their aura is shown to the Killer. If the Killer kicks one of the generators or enters the area inside them, Demilitarized Zone goes onto a 120/100/80 second cooldown.
3) Conscription
Force an enemy to do your bidding. You become Obsessed with one Survivor. After hitting your Obsession, Conscription gains a token, up to three tokens. When the Obsession heals a Survivor, that Survivor is instead injured for one health state. When the Obsession hits a skill check while repairing a Generator, the Generator explodes as if they missed a Skill Check.
This was pretty fun! Let me know what y'all think.
Here's an old one of mine, with art included.
