How Did Every Killer Get Their Name? (Dead by Daylight)

Hey everyone, today I wanted to look over the origin, story, or meaning behind the character’s names. All of which begin with a ‘The’ followed by a word or descriptor of what they are or do. The names of the killers were always something I presumed was done by the survivors. Names given to them allowing them to easily identify each, especially as in some cases they wouldn’t know their actual names. So, that’s kind of the angle I’m coming from when discussing these.

I think the trapper might be called trapper because he places traps guys

@Devorone

Skull Merchant’s name is very accurate, sells many skulls, yes

@freddyfazbear1334

I know that the Realm is really messed up, but I think it’s kind of funny to imagine one of the Survivors seeing someone from a movie or game like Nemesis and getting a little giddy

@die2006kleine

Wouldn't it be so funny, tho, if Jill and Chris had talked about everything Wesker had done, and how he had done it, and the other survivors, used to giving killers weird nicknames, were like: "OMG He's a Mastermind." And the RE characters tried to stop the spreading of that name, but now they just sit angrily, as the name for Wesker remains? xD

@DoctorTheo

I love to imagine that Adriana is such a nerd and loves being the center of attention, she litterally tells them that she's called "The Skull Merchant"

1. Michael is called the Shape because that's what director John Carpenter referred to him as within the filming of the original Halloween. Evil hiding behind the shape of a man.

@Echo-22-538

Trapper's blew my mind...

@AltPlus30

The Legion's name can also probably be described as

@Gemini_me

I just came to the realization that the Hag is probably the youngest human killer in DBD. Ooh a "How old the killers/ survivors are" would actually be a cool vid.

@sugmabear2727

The Dredge is likely meant to refer to the ‘dredging up’ bad memories which may want to be forgotten.

@Headspr0uter

"Mad Mick" comes from Mick being used as a derogatory term for Irish people. Much like hillbilly it's meant to portray a group of people as uncultured and foolish.

@gamesrock94

A fun fact is that in Brazil the skull merchant is probably the only og character that is called by her true name instead of her killer one. I've never seen or heard anyone in Brazilian matches call her skull merchant or "negociante de crânios" being the literal translation, but rather Adriana which is her birth name. That doesn't happen with other og killers, maybe due to the fact that her killer name is "too long" or too lame to pronounce lol

@OnyxANZ

Yun-Jin Lee also was you know.. Trickster's manager. She could have just immediately identified him and spread the name around. Demogorgon also came with Nancy and Steve, who also know the name Demogorgon.

@BradSimkiss

Xenomorph makes sense more than alien because Xenomorph is a description, meaning, strange form, it is the strange form of whatever species it’s spawns from

@Purple_Puffin

My favorite part is when "The Trapper" said, "it's trapping time", and trapped all the survivors

@Mewwt

Ghost Face was also a self-given name when Danny was writing about his murders for local newspapers. For example: his add-on "Ghost Face Caught On Tape" is named after the headline to an article he wrote about his exploits!

@latrodectahespara2728

Regarding Demogorgon and Xenomorph- I think those might be the most straightforward cases of the associated survivors informing everyone else what the monster is. Steve and Nancy fought the Demogorgon, they know what the kids called it, and they'd likely use that shorthand themselves while describing it to their teammates because, well, they don't know what it's "real" name is, if it even has one.

@koi9826

i dont think "dredge" necessarily only refers to water, im pretty sure its meant to refer to how it consumes anything in its path, adding whatever it can grab to its body and void, much like how a dredging boat pulls things into it.
