Be asanine and have some fun. What's a ridiculous idea for a Killer?

Horror can be, to some extent, subjective. (For example, some people are deathly scared of butterflies. No, I don't mean something like Mothman, I mean cute, peaceful, monarch butterflies). So with that in mind, have some fun. What are some truly asinine Killer ideas?

I'll start:

The Brave Little Toaster


This post was partly inspired by some semi-recent posts discussing how:

DBD is no longer a horror-themed game

horror is subjective so DBD is still horror

horror is objective so DBD is not horror

with Killers like Trickster/Wesker, we can no longer say "that Killer idea won't fit with DBD"

etc.

  • Pizza Delivery Guy

    BHVR enters into a promotional deal with Papa Johns that allows survivors to order pizza during the trial and pay with auric cells or iridescent shards. The killer is confined to the basement until an order is placed. Upon placing an order, a map wide audio alert (Better ingredients, better pizza, Papa Johns) alerts the survivors that the killer is active. The survivor that placed the order is now mori'able. The killer throws pizzas.

  • Just A Regular Catboy

    When you spawn into the game, you have 50% chance to be allergic to cats. If you are allergic, being within 10m of the killer will make your character sneeze repeatedly. Catboy can leap at the survivors, but will feel compelled to leap at any circle of light in his surrounding. The obsession can pet his fluffy ears. His terror radius is loud purring.

    Can you imagine if it was Mathieu Cรดtรฉ who says, "Better Ingredients, Better Pizza, Papa Johns?"

    It doesnโ€™t actually do anything, it just walks very fast and disappears the moment you look away.

    Horrifying.

    it simply has to happen

  • The Zebedee

    ZebedeeMagicRoundabout2005Image.jpg

    When a survivor teabags, Zebedee is unimpressed with their feeble attempt and springs up and down at ridiculous speed, cause the ground to shake and survivors within a set radius to fall into the dying state.

    Unfortunately, he cannot vault normally, instead springing and hitting the top of the window and stunning itself.


    The Mallet

    book-timmy-360x205xc.jpg

    Has Bubba-like repetitive swing attack with the mallet, resulting in one health state going, whilst shouting: "And that's a bonk on the head for you! And a bonk on the head for you!"


    The Knightmare

    MV5BMDJjZGQwMzgtZjhiNy00YThkLWIzMjgtZTU4ZTIzYjc3NDU2XkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNjc2MjgzOTE@._V1_.jpg

    Survivors start with a large helmet and a napsack that they have to replenish with food throughout the trial. They have to be guided by each other, due to limited vision, and if survivors don't put food in their sacks, they lose health and eventually die.

    (The Knightmare comes with one legacy outfit - the dude in red, and 2 legendary cosmetics for Kate Denson - Elita, the Cavern Elf, and for Ace Visconti - Pickle, the Elf >> all 3 cosmetics in picture)

  • This will anger some but I genuinely believe that a FNAF killer is an incredibly ridiculous idea.


    Have it be Freddy Fazbear but in disrepair. Kind of like in FNAF 2 or The Joy of Creation fan-game. His power would be called "power-off". Imagine Dredge's nightfall except way darker, TR goes away and Freddy does that jingle while frozen in place. Once that jingle is complete, Freddy would resume movement but much faster and would be given a limited amount of time (say 5-10 seconds) to find the nearest survivor and down them. Survivors would have to make distance and put obstacles between themselves and Freddy since he can't go through pallets or windows while moving quickly. After downing a survivor using power-off, Freddy would have a 15 second cool-down where he can't move, 10 seconds if he failed at catching a survivor. "Power-off" can only activate after being in chase for 60 seconds.


    Perks are:

    - Artificial Joy: survivors would receive obliviousness status effect after cleansing a totem for 20/25/30 seconds.

    - Inside Us: survivors who stay within 24 meters and within your terror radius for more than 40/35/30 seconds would scream, revealing their location.

    - Man Behind the Slaughter (of course I'll use that for a perk name): after killing a survivor by any means (bleedout doesn't count), gain the hidden status effect for 20/25/30 seconds.


    We'd get 2 maps, a faithful recreation of all original locations from the first 4 games merged together by the entity, and a smaller version of Security Breach's map. Yes, they'll be down there with RPD and Midwich in terms of design.


    Give Freddy a skin for all original animatronics, and a springtrap one since people want that. Blighted skin would just be that model from the Halloween event thingy FNAF 4 had. (and yes, Freddy will get one before Deathslinger does).


    Terror radius would be 40m and it'll be Living Tombstone's song, the FNAF 2 one to be specific.


    Imagine you're on a gen and you just hear "I don't kno-... my child behind-" as Freddy is chasing a survivor in a distant loop.

  • Cute lil Pupper.


    But only to Survivors with a Pride Charm.


    Everyone else will see a very Aggressive and Bloodhungry Wolve trying to kill them and eat them alive.


    Pride Charm users can also pet the little Pupper and get 1000 Bp in every Category for doing so.



    Maybe not a Scary Killer. But we all need a Break from Nurse/Blight every once in a While.


    The Pride Charm thing is just because i think of someone who will always have his Pride Charm on and his David without a Shirt ;)

  • Sir Pulsar, please shed some light. Who is this (and is it worth watching)?

    It is Dio.

    Also, yeah, I liked JoJo. It's an acquired taste but it's fire.

  • This thing from Spirited Away that terrified me as a kid, but probably isn't actually that scary

    This, or the pigs from Spirited Away...


  • Yes, that gif is from Phantom Blood, which is part 1 of jojo.

  • I have always wanted a killer that appears to be a survivor. But swfs would ruin it

  • Dio or hell any of the Stone Men but they all have to be their Flamboyant fabulous selves.

  • Killer: Basic B**ch.

    Description: Psychotic over-entitled woman wearing Uggs, yoga pants, fuzzy sweater, obnoxious shades, and sporting a Karen cut.

    Weapon (default): Wields a sharpened Gold, Platinum, or Club card.

    Power: Throws hot pumpkin spice lattes. Can hold the power button to build up a charge that increases the latte to Venti size and causes splash damage.

  • Me.... (surprised no one else said this)

    I had a whole back story and perks.... But I suffer from CRS

    Can't Remember (Bad word that starts with S)... and a stroke

    But that's just me though

    Just lightly suggest in the forums that killers should not camp or tunnel and all weirdo killer mains in the forum will lose their minds

  • Kermit the frog.

    EB0CDE9A-CEF0-4803-89FC-81B9337A96F5.jpeg

    Wields a crude wood axe as his weapon.

    Power: Enraged by a cheating pig, Kermitโ€™s physically abilities are heightened. Hold and release m2 to jump over objects (including jungle gym walls), press m2 again to immediately follow up with a leap attack that will injure survivors.

    Kermit has voice lines that he will say throughout the game, as well as letting out a maniacal laugh that can be heard around the map that grows in insanity as the match progresses.
