* MultipleChoicePast: Its lore and add-ons give multiple possible theories as to ''what'' it could be, ranging from a government experiment gone wrong, to an alien creature, or even a hostile {{Tulpa}} spirit. No indication is given to which theory is correct, if any of them even are.

* FinishingMove: For its mori, the Xenomorph pounces on the survivor before stabbing them in the back with its tail. It then lifts them up to face it as it opens its mouth, and its second one pops out, going through the survivors' head and leaving a hole in their skull.

* DoppelgangerSpin: Using its power will cause the Unknown to occasionally drop immobile copies of itself around the map, similar to the hallucinations of the Hag and Doctor. It can instantly teleport itself to one of its copies, but these can also be dispelled by survivors before it has a chance to do so. The hallucinations are permanent (unless dispelled or automatically replaced with a new one once the max limit is reached), and teleporting to them won't use them up like with the Hag's traps or the Dredge's remnant. One of the Unknown's Ultra-Rare add-ons also causes him to leave behind a doppelganger when he teleports; this doppelganger isn't permanent (it disappears after several seconds) and isn't a teleport point, but it has a red stain and terror radius and can confuse survivors into thinking the Unknown is still at its previous location instead of having teleported away.

* SkinWalker: Although it doesn't change form, it gives off this vibe, being an uncanny [[KillAndReplace shapeshifting murderer]] that [[VoiceChangeling mimics its victims' voices.]] It's also implied to have a true name that [[TheScottishTrope shouldn't be spoken out loud,]] though whether this gets its attention or does the speaker harm (or both, or otherwise) is unclear.

* SirSwearsalot: By far the most foul-mouthed of any voiced Killer, as expected.

* VerbalTic: Most, if not all of the Unknown's voice lines contain unnatural punctuation in the form of brief, mid-sentence (or even mid-word) pauses, as if to emphasize its [[HumanoidAbomination deeply flawed]] [[BecomeARealBoy attempt at appearing human]].
* VoiceOfTheLegion: In addition to a choppy distortion effect, a masculine and a feminine voice speak simultaneously when it talks. Depending on which cosmetics are equipped, one will be emphasized over the other, such as the "Greenville Pep" and "Eyeless Woman" outfits making its voice more feminine than masculine.

* LuringInPrey: Survivors weakened by ''UVX'' start hearing coherent versions of its voice lines, implying it has some psychological effect that helps lure victims towards it.

* DoppelgangerSpin: Using its power will cause the Unknown to occasionally drop immobile copies of itself around the map, similar to the hallucinations of the Hag and Doctor. It can instantly teleport itself to one of its copies, but these can also be dispelled by survivors before it has a chance to do so. The hallucinations are permanent (unless dispelled), and teleporting to them won't use them up like with the Hag's traps or the Dredge's remnant. One of the Unknown's Ultra-Rare add-ons also causes him to leave behind a doppelganger when he teleports; this doppelganger isn't permanent (it disappears after several seconds) and isn't a teleport point, but it has a red stain and terror radius and can confuse survivors into thinking the Unknown is still at its previous location instead of having teleported away.

* DifficultButAwesome: The grenade-like arc and bounce to UVX's projectiles requires quite a lot of skill to hit with, even with the splash damage (which has a smaller radius than it looks). There's also very little margin for error; it only takes 10 seconds for a Survivor to remove the Weakened state by staring at the Unknown, and the cooldown on UVX is several seconds, plus over 1 second to actually charge it, leaving you with less than 2 seconds to actually fire an accurate shot before the Survivor removes Weakened and is no longer vulnerable to damage. That said, being a ranged-attack Killer that moves at normal speed is still pretty powerful if you're skilled enough to land the shots quickly enough.

* ToServeMan: Tying into the Unknown's more animalistic traits, it is possible that the humans it preys upon serves as its sustenance. One of its lobby voice lines has it mention "intolerable hunger," and its Mori has it absorb the targeted Survivor into the [[TooManyMouths mouth on its back]] after they've been ReducedToDust via its tentacle-like tongues.

* CardCarryingVillain: Possibly. A few of its lobby voice lines, such as referring to itself as "the nameless legend," claiming to "deal in strange," and asking with certainty if the sight of it is "terribly frightening," suggest that the Unknown is aware of--and embraces--its horrifying reputation.

* FaceStealer: Its premium cosmetics has it wearing the skin of some of its victims stretched over its decidedly non-human frame, such as a grandmother or a cheerleader.

** Both Killers are rife with human BodyHorror, being inhuman monstrosities with forms consisting of unnaturally-arranged body parts, and both happen to be decidedly [[EldritchAbomination eldritch]] in nature. However, the Dredge is an UndeadAbomination with a BodyOfBodies and a defined origin, being explicitly described as having been summoned by the repressed darkness of the Ottomarian cult becoming impossible to contain, allowing the Druanee to manifest and feed. The Unknown, on the other hand, is a HumanoidAbomination with a body resembling that of a singular, if [[CreepyAsymmetry horrifically distorted]] person, and it is defined by its distinct and terrifying ''lack'' of explicit origins, instead possessing a MultipleChoicePast.

* {{Creepypasta}}: Its main aesthetic. The Unknown is inspired by AnalogHorror and internet horror stories such as the [[Literature/TheRake Rake]], the [[Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos Slender Man]], and skinwalkers / fleshgaits / goatmen.

* SkinWalker: Although it doesn't change form, it gives off this vibe, being an uncanny [[KillAndReplace shapeshifting murderer]] that [[VoiceChangeling mimics its victim's voices.]] It's also implied to have a true name that [[TheScottishTrope shouldn't be spoken out loud,]] though whether this gets its attention or does the speaker harm (or both, or otherwise) is unclear.

* TimeAbyss: One of its lobby voicelines ("I lived... in dungeons... long forgotten...") implies it's been around for centuries, and this is just its latest form.

* UrbanLegend: What is has become in-universe with people having multiple theories as to what it is. Visually, the Unknown is the embodiment of many classic and modern Urban Legend tropes such as serial killers (The axe and human appearance), aliens (its UVX organ and tentacles it uses in its mori), grotesque monsters (the way it appears to be wearing human skin and its unnatural movements, and how it talks) and how victims are "never seen again" (its Mori has it consume survivors whole after they turn to dust).

* WoundedGazelleGambit: Some of its lines suggest that, like many human serial killers, the Unknown lowers its prey's guard by pretending to need help, either in the form of safety or assistance with a mundane task.

* {{Creepypasta}}: Its main aesthetic. The Unknown is inspired by AnalogHorror and internet urban legends such as the [[Literature/TheRake Rake]], the [[Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos Slender Man]], and fleshgaits.

* DeusAxMachina: It apparently picked up a fireaxe before the Entity snatched it up. Now it's locked into using it as its main weapon.

* FaceStealer: Its premium cosmetics has it wearing the head and skin of some of its victims stretched over its decidedly non-human frame, such as a grandmother or a cheerleader.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Most of its voice lines are fairly amicable, even seemingly confused sometimes, like greeting the survivors or asking them for help with something. It is only a few times that it will let its true malicious intent seep through.

* ItCanThink: While much of its behaviour suggests the Unknown to simply be an animalistic predator using visual and vocal mimicry to lure its human prey to their deaths, some of its dialogue indicates that the creature possesses an ego and is bordering on sapient.

* MultipleChoicePast: Its lore and add-ons give multiple possible explanations as to ''what'' it could be, ranging from a government experiment gone wrong, to an alien creature, or even a hostile {{Tulpa}} spirit. No indication is given to which theory is correct, if any of them even are.

* SkinWalker: Although it doesn't change form, it gives off this vibe, being an uncanny, fleshgait-like humanoid that [[VoiceChangeling steals and mimics its victim's voices.]] It's also implied to have a true name that [[TheScottishTrope shouldn't be spoken out loud,]] though whether this gets its attention or does the speaker harm (or both, or otherwise) is unclear.

* VillainousBreakdown: In its backstory, the Unknown completely loses its FauxAffablyEvil act and devolves into a panicking, frantic mess when the Entity forcibly drags it into its realm during one of its hunts.
