SUGGESTION - A New Killer: The Shape Shifter!

I got this idea during a match in 2024!

What happened?

I was wounded and saw a survivor coming my way! I was So glad because i needed to be healed! But then as this "survivor" came closer I realized it was The Legion! In Undetectable Mode!

That's when I came up with the idea - What if there was a Killer that could shape-shift and look like a Survivor and tricks them and shape-shifts back quickly like the Monster/Killer?

I suggest that when no Survivor can see it, the Shape Shifter can shape-shift into a random Survivor that is still alive and the process takes 9/6/3 seconds! If any survivor spots the Shape Shifter during its transformation process, it gets cancelled and returns to its default Form with a cool-down of 30/20/10 seconds. After successfully shape-shifting as a random Survivo , the Killer can remain in its Survivor shape for 30/45/60 seconds. After the timer runs out, the Killer will automatically return to its default shape. I have no suggestions on perks or special powers/abilities, excepting, shape-shifting into another living Survivor...

EDIT: Oh, ofcourse there will be NO terror radius when the Killer has shape-shifted. But it's temporary! The killer can't be roaming around the map indefinitely like that!? So I was thinking that perhaps ...? Oh, and if a Survivor stuns this Killer by dropping a pallet on the shape-shifter or blinding or any other way while it's in Survivor form, it shift-shape into its original form Killer-shape back. And shape-shifting/disguising as a Survivor has a cool-down too! So, perhaps every 30/20/10 seconds the creature can choose to shape-shift? Maybe a closet isn't even needed...?

And it's weapon could shape-shift into an item...which could possibly reveal its true nature...? Or even better: it could appear as another Survivor...without item!

The hilarious/scary moment will be when Survivors see TWO identical survivors at the same location! XD but one be holding an item is definately NOT the killer, so, maybe it would be a better idea if the shapeshifter even mimicks the item that certain Survivor was carrying..or even appear to be empty-handed...if that Survivor also has nothing!

Another EDIT: A way to identify that a Survivor is actually the Killer is to hear it's non-human breathing! But you'll have to be very close to hear it! And this means you'd be in it's attack range..or you'll have to be hiding!

AND - The Shape-Shifter can even mimmick wounded Survivors! ALL Survivors, at the start would happily rush to aid a wounded survivor, right? Mimmicking a wounded Survivor is a splendid tactic of the Shape Shifter! This will definately cause lots of suspicion and distrust among the Survivors! - Who is The Killer?? And this is when 3rd party comms (Discord, etc.) become really useful!

Also, should a wounded Survivor get healed elesewehre on the map, other Survivors could see the Shape-Shifter (in Survivor form) switch from wounded to healed Survivor...on its own, revealing it's The Killer! This Killer will surely cause lots of funny/scary moments! XD

Edit 3: If an affected Survivor (which the Shapeshifter is mimicking!) gets healed or drops or picks up an item, the Killer mimicks the same image, in an attempt to fool and trap other Survivors, which could cause interesting moments such as when other survivors witness the Shapeshifter (in Survivor form) suddenly producing an item in its hand, or an item simply vanishes out of its hand! This happens because of the "connection" the Shape-Shifter has with the Survivor it's currently mimicking.

Anyone has better suggestions about it's powers and perks? Please mention them below! :)

    I suggested this idea about 2 years ago. Everybody all but hated it because they couldn't envision the idea working. "The difference a day makes", now some years later plyers are ready for it. I'm glad you are one of the few that sees the potential in this killer idea.
