Reskin / Spinoff of Demogorgon to Werewolf

Someone mentioned this sort of idea in general chat, I think, but I wanted to flesh it out a bit for a Suggestions thread.

Now that Demogorgon is leaving the store, this could be an opportunity to reskin or spin off a new variant of Demogorgon that isn’t tied to a license. One idea was for a Werewolf.

  • Create a legendary skin for Demogorgon which is a Werewolf character. His stance and lunge attacks and mori animations all are already right in line with a Werewolf style character. No mechanical changes even needed for just a new skin.

Another option would be create a Werewolf spinoff killer that keeps some of Demogorgon’s mechanics and replaces others. Doing this would be a bit like how Leatherface and Hillbilly are sort of variants of each other.

  • Keep Demogorgon’s lunge attack as is. It fits great with the Werewolf theme
  • Replace the tunnels with some sort of sprint ability to let him move about the map quickly. Maybe something a bit slower than Blight and Hillbilly, but that he can use when he’s not in a chase. Fast enough to get around the map but not something directly usable in the footchase.
  • Instead of Killer Instinct around tunnels, make him able to concentrate and smell the killer instinct of the closest survivor. So when he charges his lunge, he gets the ping of the closest survivor to him.

    I wouldn't mind the powers of pouncing and creating portals being used on 2 different future killers.

    Yeah, putting the portals on something else could be good. Who knows? 🤷‍♂️
