My thoughts on their emotional motivation:
The Trapper: A desire to escape. He's fought the Entity before and failed, but even though he's been broken I reckon he is looking for an escape like the survivors. Fortunately, he's not on the receiving end of being hunted and sacrificed, so he's working with that in mind. Helps that he thinks little of people too.
The Wraith: Tainted eyes and Entity-motivated to see survivors as though who had wronged him. Maybe also some fear, as it looks like he's been tortured.
The Hillbilly: Tainted eyes and Entity-motivated to see survivors as his family. Also, his rage at the abuse he suffered, he carries that bloodlust in his desire to hurt and kill anything that moves.
The Nurse: like Trapper, a way to escape. She rips through the dimensions via blinking, which I wonder is her constantly trying to escape but being dragged back painfully. Maybe enough tries and she might, she thinks. Until then, do her duty. She's floating as if being hanged and is in a lot of pain. Any escape is better.
The Shape: The embodiment of evil, he just works to kill for pleasure. The realm is a neverending playpen for him.
The Hag: Hunger. Always emaciated and starving, she hunts and sacrifices in hope of being granted power to eat. Her "Devour Hope" hex is her trying to find a way to eat without waiting on a Mori.
The Doctor: Naturally, he enjoys torture. He is also tortured to the brink of insanity, and now his crazed desire to hurt people has intensified. I also like the idea his lust for learning about madness and fear may be fueled by an understanding that survivors are dying over and over. How many more times before someone is driven beyond insanity?
The Huntress: Probably not fully aware of what is happening. She has shelter and strangers who she views as those she fought again in the past. She knows something is watching to make sure she does her duty, but by going back into her self-preservation state, she just continues killing as she did when she was in Russia.
The Cannibal: Fear of letting the Entity down. The same fear that he had for his family.
The Nightmare: Sick and sadistic, he enjoys the torment and killing. However, he probably resents being captured by the Entity. The dream world may be a place he tries to use to escape, but until then he continues to revel in his sordid existence. Afterall, children make better victims than those other survivors he keeps hunting.
The Pig: Motivated by fear of the Entity. She's very lucid of what's happening, and working for the Entity is the safest option. She sees it as she saw Kramer, but there's more fear in this professional relationship.
The Clown: He's happy dishing out the torment. The Entity has a liking for his existence and sick desires (or what passes for "liking" for the Entity), so Jeffrey doesn't hunt in fear. He does it for the thrill.
The Spirit: Pure, unadulterated rage and hate. The Entity has trouble keeping her in this realm, but with a promise by the Entity of finding her father and the instilled rage, Rin does her duty.
The Legion: Frank probably feels special at being chosen by a deity, whilst the others are more fearful. Frank's leadership helps the others adjust to their roles - possibly the only reason the Entity allows them together.
The Plague: Religious devotion to her God.
The Ghost Face: He relishes the act of stalking, creating fear, killing and playing with his prey. The Entity favours him and he loves it!
The Demogorgon: An animal running on instinct. Much like a pet adjusting to a new master. An ideal killer for the Entity.
The Oni: Wrath and hatred for those weaker than him. Probably also tormented by the Entity, but I don't feel that he fears it. He thirsts for death of those survivors, as he did those he killed in his world.
The Deathslinger: Tainted-eyes and Entity-motivated to see survivors as those who hurt him. The Entity perhaps keeps minimal presence, as the Deathslinger has a sharp mind and may suspect something is wrong, but in his world the hooks may feel like Caleb's invention.
The Executioner: Pyramid Head is interesting, as he feeds on guilt. I see him as a parasite that feeds on the guilt of not just survivors, but the Entity. He can steal kills from the Entity, carve into the world and the Entity. He can bring the hell of Silent Hill into the Entity's world. My head-cannon is that Silent Hill is attempting to invade the realm with its passive influence, or drag the Entity to it. All of that stored guilt from those within - if the Sun Goddess could gain all that power..
The Blight: Talbot made a deal with the Entity for that nectar, only for it to mutate him with the serum . The Blight serves now, but I believe there is a part of him that still wants release beneath his torture and more primitive mind. He still hunts in hope of learning the truth about the serum, and possible escape.
The Twins: A mix of continuing their actions in their worlds and fear/loyalty to the Entity. The discrimination they faced helps motivate them, but the Entity uses fear to ensure it.
The Trickster: Ji-Woon enjoys the hunt way too much! He feels like the number 1 pick in ways Yun-Jin could never do. Everyone notices him here. He may not be the cleverest of killers, but he knows when he has a good gig going for him.
Yeah, sidenote on Hag - Obviously, it’s because of the Hex she drew as she was dying that she is the way she is, the hex her grandmother warned her was ancient and turned people into ravenous beasts with endless hunger. But her grandma also says that those with this curse would slowly petrify and into trees if they did not continue to eat human flesh, but they would still be fully aware, trapped souls, starving but can never eat - and at that point they are literally just trees possessed by evil spirits. As you can see in the game The Hag is growing twigs out of her head, and she has cosmetics where her condition/ petrification is getting worse (I think it’s one of her green ones?) one of these cosmetics confirms her curse is turning her into a tree, and the blood of survivors is the only thing pausing/ reversing that process. I like to think that, yes at this point there is nothing left of Lisa Sherwood in The Hag, she is entirely possessed by a demon or a nature spirit like her grandma had said. Whatever she is now - she needs blood and flesh to survive - else she will literally become a tree as her bone and her skin hardens into wood through petrifaction. This is the price she payed to cheat death and kill her captors. So survival and primal instincts are her only motivations now - she has 0 emotional motivation.
