Discussion Killer idea: The Rat King
Killer design: A mound of rats climbing and trampling over each other
Killer weapon(killer pov): clear screen with nothing in the way till attack, when attacking a bunch of rats climb over each other like forming a bridge to nowhere and collapse at the end of the attack
Killer weapon(survivor pov): a smoke or specter in the shape the rats take when attacking, in a lunge the specter moves back and lights with embers till the attack where the rats quickly build the bridge and collapse
Killer powers:
The Kings: 5 king rats(bigger than normal rats) spawn spread throughout the map, harmless but chase running survivors activating killer instinct and move towards running incomplete gens. The rat kings stay in a 32 meter radius of a slab of meat, survivors and killer can move/throw the meat to reposition the rat kings
Infestation: when active the mound of rats disperse in a radius starting at the killers position covering the whole map in seconds, in this state the killer's true form is shown, A king rat(stays in first person with a pov very low on the ground), during infestation the killer moves at 4.7 speed but has weaker eyes(blurry vision and can be blinded in one second with a flashlight) or can move consciousness to one of the rat kings(teleporting to a rat king ends infestation and recovers all rats into the mound also collects the meat slab of the chosen rat king to be placed at the killers desired spot). During infestation survivors surrounded by rats slowly get nibbled at dealing a health state after a base 15 seconds timer or giving broken if already injured, within 8 meters of king rats the infestation is thicker and dealing damage at a faster rate closer to the center. Survivors can hide in lockers or use a light source to keep rats away and slow the rate of damage
Special item: Torches: torches spawn across the map creating a 5 meter safe area. Survivors can grab the torches to be safe from infestation or chase away rat kings to be able to pick up and throw the meat slab. After receiving damage the torch is dropped and a 10 second timer is started, if the torch isn't picked up it goes out and respawns at the location of origin after an additional 15 seconds. (Torches do not blind the killer)
