History Characters / DeadByDaylightKillersPart3

* {{Foil}}: To the Dredge, after a fashion. Both are Killers whose appearances are rife with BodyHorror, both are capable of [[VillainTeleportation teleporting around the trial]], and the maps associated with their respective chapters even share a realm in the Withered Isle. Compared to the Dredge, an EldritchAbomination with a BodyOfBodies which teleports via fixed points on the map (those being lockers), the Unknown is a HumanoidAbomination with a body resembling a singular person’s, but one that is [[CreepyAsymmetry horrifically distorted]], and which teleports via [[DoppelgangerSpin decoys]] that periodically form it traverses the map (yet can be dispelled by Survivors). Furthermore, the Dredge has an easier time sneaking up on Survivors and attacking them directly via ''Nightfall'', while the Unknown is capable of injuring and downing Survivors via ''UVX''.

Her unique perks, ''Game Afoot'', ''Leverage'', and ''THWACK!'' enhance her tracking and pursuit abilities while in a chase, as well as gradually degrade the healing efficiency of survivors over the course of a trial. ''Game Afoot'' grants the Skull Merchant a 5% Haste effect while chasing the Obsession after damaging a generator or destroying a pallet or breakable wall. ''Leverage'' reduces the healing efficiency of Survivors for 30 seconds following a Survivor being hooked, growing in power each subsequent time a survivor is hooked. ''THWACK!'' activates after a survivor is hooked, and forces all survivors within a certain radius of the Skull Merchant to scream and reveal their auras whenever a pallet or breakable wall is destroyed.

Its unique perks, ''Genetic Limits'', ''Forced Hesitation'' and ''Machine Learning'' focus on slowing down survivors and catching them off guard. ''Genetic Limits'' punishes healing survivors by inflicting them with exhaustion. ''Forced Hesitation'' activates upon putting a survivor into the dying state, and hinders any other survivors within 16 meters of them. ''Machine Learning'' activates upon damaging a generator, causing the next generator you damage to become Compromised, highlighting it to the killer in a yellow aura. If a compromised generator is repaired, the killer gains Haste and becomes Undetectable for a short time. Only one generator can be compromised at a time.\\\

The Xenomorph's unique perks, ''Ultimate Weapon'', ''Rapid Brutality'', and ''Alien Instinct'' encourage it to get aggressive and make the attempt to end the trial as quickly as possible by picking off isolated Survivors. ''Ultimate Weapon'' activates for 30 seconds after opening a Locker, in which Survivors entering your Terror Radius will scream and become Blind for 30 seconds. ''Rapid Brutality'' sacrifices the ability to generate Bloodlust in favor of gaining a light Haste status effect whenever you land a basic attack. ''Alien Instinct'' allows you to pinpoint the farthest injured Survivor's aura for a brief moment and make them Oblivious for a long time whenever you hook a Survivor.\\

Chucky's unique perks, ''Hex: Two Can Play'', ''Friends 'Til The End'', and ''Batteries Included'' give him more means to chase and down Survivors quickly and punish them for harming him. ''Hex: Two Can Play'' activates after being stunned or blinded a certain amount of times, converting a Totem on the map into a Hex, and causes Survivors to be blinded for a short duration whenever he's stunned or blinded. ''Friends 'Til The End'' reveals the Obsession's aura and inflicts them with Exposed when another Survivor is hooked, or if the Obsession is hooked, another random Survivor screams and becomes the Obsession. ''Batteries Included'' grants Chucky a speed boost when within close range of a completed generator.\\

As a Killer, The Unknown makes use of its monstrous nature with its power ''UVX''. The Unknown can launch a bouncing purple projectile from its neck that bursts upon impact. Any survivors caught in the blast area become weakened, and if a weakened survivor is caught in the blast area, they lose a health state. Survivors must look directly at The Unknown to remove the weakened effect. The Unknown also generates Hallucinations intermittently, which it can teleport to and take the place of unless survivors dispel the hallucination.\\

The Unknown's unique perks, ''Unbound'', ''Unforeseen'', and ''Undone'' give it some additional chase potential and means of deterring generator repairs. ''Unbound'' allows the Unknown to gain a temporary speed boost after vaulting a window shortly after injuring a survivor. ''Unforeseen'' allows it to place its' terror radius onto a generator it kicks for a short duration. ''Undone'' gains Tokens whenever survivors miss repairing or healing skill checks, and then converts those tokens into additional progression loss when kicking a generator as well as blocking the generator.\\

But then, the voice from behind the door screamed in a distorted panic. The lights gave out completely, leaving Olivia terrified in the dark as she listened to its screams... and then the lights came on again as an unnaturally thick fog began to slip under the door and swirled around her feet. Nervously, she opened the door only to see a twitching mass of flesh and tentacles struggling as it was dragged into the dark mist by an unseen force. She stood there, standing at the black void in front of her. The rational part of her told her to run, while the other yearned to learn more. Suddenly, dozens of voices all at once called to her from the fog, promising unearthly things beyond human experience.\\

* BodyHorror: It's vaguely humanoid, with an emphasis on vaguely, with twisted limbs and oddly proportioned body parts. It almost looks like whatever the Unknown is, it's wearing a victim's skin.

* PerpetualSmiler: Its human-like face has a wide, permanent grin exposing its crooked teeth. It's not clear whether or not it is doing this intentionally.

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

* VerbalTic: Most, if not all of The Unknown’s voice lines contain unnatural punctuation in the form of briefly pausing mid-sentence, as if to emphasize its [[HumanoidAbomination deeply flawed attempts to appear human]].

* {{Creepypasta}}: Its horror motif, with a good dose of AnalogHorror thrown in. The Unknown is inspired by internet urban legends such as the [[Literature/TheRake Rake]], the [[Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos Slender Man]], and Fleshgaits.

As she perused through the vast amounts of disappearances throughout history within a motel room, she noticed that Greenville's cases all had one thing in common that none of the others lacked: An unnatural fog. She wondered if perhaps, this fog was the work of something else other than the Unknown, a thought she laughed away as she drew what she speculated The Unknown to look like. The legend said anyone who dared to define it would be consumed, yet hours passed and nothing happened after she pinned it to her evidence board...\\

* ShroudedInMyth: By far the most mysterious of all the Killers. Notably, its pre-release lore focuses almost entirely on one of its victims attempting to investigate it.

* WouldHurtAChild: Implied. One of its voicelines during a match is to ask if the survivor wants some candy, and the Vanishing Box add-on's description states that a popular children's party magician was a top suspect for disappearances.

* VoiceOfTheLegion: In addition to a choppy distortion effect, a male and a female voice speak simultaneously when it talks.

* FinishingMove: The Unknowns mori has it drop on all fours with its back pointed down, then rush on top of the downed survivor. It takes a brief moment to stare at the survivor's face while overhead, then twists to move its back upwards and shows a mouth running vertically along its spine. Said mouth then opens and extends three tentacles that burrow into the survivor's head and [[YourSoulIsMine tear out their soul]], which is absorbed into the mouth as the Unknown gets back into its normal position.
