The Story & Meaning Behind the Iridescent Add-ons of Every Killer (Dead by Daylight) 

I always liked to imagine that The Entity gave the iridescent add-ons to The Legion as a threat, but The Legion all just were like "Yo, this guy must really want to be in our group"

The entity: incomprehensible shrieks of the endless and unknowable. The Legion: ayo this really slaps

The tuft of hair was Judith's. She was brushing her hair when he walked in and killed her.

The entity is kinda wholesome to some killers. Rapping for the legion, giving the spirit wholesome gifts, teaching bubba how to tune his chainsaw. Literally paying the deathslinger, giving the trickster a cool picture of himself, giving pinhead a cool version of his trinket, letting billy make his own things. All around a good…thing

Can we appreciate the fact that the Entity literally made a banger mixtape for a group of angsty teens? They went their whole life being neglected and he put their music into a sick remix to say "let no one stop you from having fun kids"

The entity: *giving out gifts to killers for their service to her, or their items to signify their hatred* Also entity: Pyramid Head, accept my peace offering,plz. I guess we all know who the new ruler is.🤷🏻‍♀️

Headcanon: Fuming Mix Tape is a track with The Entity absolutely singing it's non-existent heart out. It has beats beyond your comprehension and bars so hard they'll break your bones.

It's amazing how Michael's ultra rares still have such an immense fear factor to this day. Especially since that was the most powerful thing for killers when Starbreeze was still publishing the game. Everything was instant for survivors however. Blinds, stuns, etc.

I just love how Pyramid Head is just there as some kind of rival to the Entity. He's there by his own choice and the Entity is kinda fearful of him.

The idea that the Entity is laying down tracks onto the combination of the Legion's mix tapes is both hilarious and awesome.

If the fragrant tuft really is from the nurse on the night Michael escaped, then it makes sense it's the only other thing that has emotional value to him. The tombstone has emotional value as an object from his first kill, and the tuft is from his first act of violence after being locked away for so long, and finally having the freedom to return home and continue killing.

Fragment Tuff is from Judith Myers. This is because she is combining her hair at the time of her murder, hence the strain of hair, hair brush (which she is seen using), hair bow, and lock of hair.

Can you please rank killers based of their teachables? I would really like to know so I can decide which I should upgrade next.

Theory. Considering Amanda still thinks she's working for John. It could be possible the entity is still using the letter for blackmail. A hey do better or I'll spill your secrets.

This man is an absolute unit doing the coolest vids out there that no one ever thinks of doing it but everyone appreciates

5:18 that felix fucking gentapping right in front of your face bc he knew he could get out during frenzy cooldown… the absolute power play

And now I know more about every killer, and more about the clown's weird ass obsession. Oh, can you make a video of every "meme" add-on? Pretty much, add-on's that are supposed to be bad/literally do nothing. (Padded Bear Trap for Trapper or Confetti Bottle for Clown.)

I would suggest the twins’ mother’s portrait is slightly ‘unsettling’ because the Entity can’t replicate such a genuinely loving figure. The twins’ mother was selfless and kind, there was no ambivalence about her. I imagine the Fog just can’t be rendered into that kind of being. At least not without something being lost in translation.

I have an issue when talking about the lement configuration because it was a human made puzzle box with the power to summon "demons" but eventually became a portal from their relm to ours. I feel like saying the entity has amazing power to make these things isnt impressive at all because, a human made it originally. Just a thought

Since Spirit has 3 Iridescent add-one you could see the mother daughter ring as something to make Rin happy, make her miss her mother, and then the fathers glasses is the entity taunting Rin to fuel her rage. Since she can miss her mother, and then have a constant reminder of her horrible father

My personal interpretation of the Kintsugi Teacup was that it reminds Rin of her own imperfections that made her father abusive and ultimately resulted in him murdering her mother and almost killing her, which makes her guilty and, most importantly, angry, to channel her ancestors power.

“Hey Azhymovs how about some iridescent head” -Huntress

I like how the entity seems to like The Plague in a way that not any of the other killers (so far) are. The seal gives off a more “lovingly” made gift without any darker meaning, and the way they are in lore honestly feels like the entity actually likes Aderis, well as much as an eldritch monstrosity negative emotion eating elder god can. And also how fucking personally spiteful and taunting the entity is with Blight is a nice showcase that the entity is sentient and has feelings and maybe even showing that it itself can be controlled by emotions to some degree. Adds some humanity (yes I know how ironic that is) to the Entity that makes it more interesting, rather than a unfeeling unthinking reactive force of nature. Maybe even might have a weakness other than the Canker

I enjoy your videos. Keep it up man 👍🏻

I’ve always had a theory that the kintisugi may be one of the many cups Kazan smashed, as evidenced by the cracked sakazuki. Maybe a futile attempt to mend the curse of the family? Idk I’m probably reading too much into it lmao love your videos!

This was probably mentioned already, but I do believe that the Legion's button is the ultimate form of mockery from the Entity, just because of it's sheer irony. Buckle up because this might be a long rumble. The button itself supposed to symbolise the four members loyalty towards each other, how they value the others more than anyone else and the freedom this gives them, as in their eye they don't "need" society anymore. A group that understand them, and acts as a form of second family. For Frank, who for 19 years, was thrown from foster home to foster home, probably still carrying the emotional damage of every rejection, including the newest one where his foster father values the drinks he can buy from the money he gets after Frank more than him, it's a group that accepts him and wants him the way he is. Their validation freeing him from the dread of being alone for all that time, fighting for his ideals mocked by everyone else (including most DBD players funnily enough). For Julie, who is convinced that she deserves more than this small mountain town in the middle of nowhere, the button means a way out. Symbolising a group which is built upon ideas that she had to hide from almost everyone before Frank showed up. Seemingly freeing and validating her, that she does deserve more than any other teenager in that town, and her ideologies and weird fascination about serial killers aren't doesn't make her a bad or a weird person. Joey is described to be impulsive, resulting in him being continuously fired from jobs. As such he is the most obvious benefactor of the Legion, hanging with a group that actively encourages his mischief's instead of punishing him for it. His actions are the catalyst for the group usually. It was a party Julie throw for him being fired from his x+1 job that started the bound between her and Frank, and it was him being fired again that made Frank want to vandalise the shop where they would stumble upon the poor janitor. Susie is probably the odd one out in this regard, as she doesn't seem to care for the underlying ideologies about the Legions rebellion against society. When the others fought over the name of their group, the only reason she didn't want a name mimicking the groups the others idolised was because "it's a mouthful". Also she was the one who needed the most convincing by Julie to stab the janitor. This doesn't make her innocent of course, as she ultimately made her choice and joined in on the killing. For her, the button seems to look more as symbol of belonging instead of ideological validation. And their attachment to the Legion's button is what makes it's iridescent form so ironic to me. For all their bravado and their commitment, in the realm where they are free from all the expectations they loath, being able to kill as much as they like, their button is still engulfed by the Entity's claw, chaining them more than they were before. Dismissing them as nothing more but a "consumed youth" that serves only to expand the Entity's reach.

"The entity laying down some absolutely insane verses" 12:33

I am honestly in awe of how you come up with your videos. The premise of this video is a great idea and helps fans who don't know everything about the original killers or licensed killers

All Michaels add ons have to do with Judith’s death. She sat at her vanity brushing her hair when he killed her. Fragrant and the lower rarity hairs are bc she brushed her hair as Michael crept up. All the others relate to her funeral. Memorial flowers and things relating to the tombstone itself

i actually feel like the box of buttons might've belonged to one of the nurse's patients, much like some of her other add-ons. it could've been a collection owned by a patient with kleptomania, or something that simply made them feel safe. the nurse could've possibly kept it because it reminds her of a patient she particularly liked and the abuse they suffered. so it has both good and bad memories connected to it.

My fiancé and I were in a debate about this, maybe you can do a video on it? But which killers would likely be tormented by Pyramid Head? He goes after those struck with a desire to be punished and filled with guilt, and some killers might fall into that. My list was Artist, Spirit, Susie, Joey, Hag, Oni, and Blight. Obviously this is off the assumption they aren't completely under the entity's control, and if they could have free thought to recollect their actions and have the capacity to feel guilt.

Hey Azhymovs how was your weekend? Love your videos man.

Thanks for uploading this. I never knew the importance of some of these until now!

Watching this I realize something.If you watch this with the Entity being Nea theory it kinda gives it some backup.Nea if she is the entity was in the human realm in Nea form so she might have learned some humanity so that could explain why the killers who weren’t actually doing anything bad mostly had things that were more nurturing compared to the more anger inducing stuff the bad killers got

your vids are so interesting man, your perception of the lore and all that is just interesting to listen to. keep it up man

Love your vids keep up the good work!

Cool theory I came up with for the Iri Lament Configuration. It could be what the Entity uses to summon Pinhead for a trial, as it seems he can leave, and is just there for the a trial or two. Whenever it wants him, the Entity uses the Iridescent Lament Configuration to summon Pinhead directly. It’s basically just the red phone at the White House.

As soon as we get an official Entity language translation, I'm using to figure out the lyrics for the Fuming Mixtape. You know a mixtape that gives you a sixth sense has to be str8 fire 🔥🔥🔥

The bullet that said it hit the deathslingers jaw explains his aperance

Dude your vids ideas always blew my mind. Love the content

Thank you for that amazing video! Love it

Maybe next you can do a video about how the killer's teachables relate to the killers and power?

Thanks for telling the secrets and lore for the add ons. I hope you can explain the lore behind the Dredge’s iridescent add ons because I’m curious about the secrets of those ones

Man i just love your vids, they are AMAZING!

Your one of the only dbd creators I can watch a full video though everytime. You make awesome videos that are like anyone else. Since every creators it like Everyone: I'm here to make stupid build now here the video. Or here another tier list. Or here a game with cheaters. Etc while your here making videos completely different than everyone else.

The kintsugi teacup add on for spirit could also represent the yakamoa family seeming perfect but with many underlying imperfections

Damn I was just watching your legion gameplay and listening you really clutched that up

i've been watching so many of your vids lately even the new uploads get recommended to me within an hour its probably time to sub tbh

Actually I think the button also symbolizes the entities support of their somewhat rebellion, the legion are known to be many so the entity crafted a pin that puts a face to their cause for mayhem. Emotionally this gift would manipulate and encourage the legion what they still must do, they are teenagers after all.

The fact that the entity allowed a letter that lied on Amanda like that, such emotional heart strings

for the dredge, the sacrificial knife and iridescent wooden plank represents the moment where everything went wrong and there was no turning back from summoning the druanee, it also reminds the dredge of the moment where all of its collective consciences died horribly

Very nice video :) good explanations

I can imagine the entity spitting bars on an old radio right now

Could you possibly do a list ranking the killers from the entities favourite to least favourite in her realm? Which killers does she appear to like the most and like the least? Love your videos by the way I watch them every day

Great video and very helpful thanks

12:35 im late but im pretty sure the black incense is made of shavings of the entity tentacle-spikes, the kind that get summoned when a surv is on a hook

Both of Michaels add ons were judith. If u see his other add ons (yellow) hair brush add on. Or jewelry box things like that!

I imagine the fuming mixtape to be the entity’s way of trying to relate to the legion, “yo, what’s swagging homeboys? It’s ya boy the entity with my new fire tape, Imma call it “Screamz of da tortured“ it took me 5 centuries to make it”

Another thing to note on the kintsugi cup add on, kintsugi is an actual thing that people do in Japan. They repair broken things with gold. P.s love your videos azhymovs♥

I actually see Renjiro's bloody glove addon as a symbol for Kazan to fight more honorably by not being able to use your demonic power,but instead playing like a M1 killer with permanent aura reveal, maybe to be more 'honorable' instead of succumbing to his rage, idk, food for thought

It's amazing you upload so often your striving hard to bring life to this game

Don't know if it was commented yet but I think Myers hair addon is from his sister at the start where she brushes her hair when he kills her

Great explanations

The photocard for the Trickster is also a reminder that he is a Kpop idol since every album contains photocards to collect! Maybe its also a little pun bc this PC is a one of a kind and everyone would kill for it even the idol himself

I can almost imagine Demo basically having both the Lichen and Moss unknowingly on it's body when it got into the entity's realm and can sometimes go to those add-ons-

We needed this.

“It’s a gift molded from the fog”

Who else wanna hear the entity spit bars with the Fuming Mixtape

Bro your creativity is insane which is a complete opposite to your monotone voice lol I love it, keep these creative video ideas coming

I’ve been thinking of the bars the entity would drop on that mixtape I’d def pay for that

after watching the gameplay in the background, i cant wait for the legion buff. also we really need to remove dead hard for distance. just do the duck not the lunge. its a free third health state it doesnt also need to be a chase extender.

I like that when you mention that the iridecent add ons could be mockery of the killer the music quiets down.

It's commonly believed that the "Redhead's pinky finger" belongs to Meg, who was the only red head in the game at the time of the Clown's launch. I can't explain the Potpourri bit in the item's description, but the "varnish" is likely just nail polish and paint. As for the "Tattooed man's middle finger", it's probably Jeff. The finger means more to David(3 guesses as to why) but only Jeff has tattoos for as far as I know, explaining the name and description.

I once made a fanmade chapter with the killer having two very rare add-ons that hold significance to the killer.

Watching the gameplay in the background shows you how bad it was facing dead hard back then, extend a chase or make a vault/pallet with one key

If it isn’t from Judith herself, the tuft of hair is likely from Linda Van Der Klok. It’s described as being blonde in the flavor text, and Linda is the only one of Michael’s female victims in the original Halloween to have blonde hair.

You may not know but the Halloween chapter takes from the comic book that came out too. So the tuft may be from there.

8:38 hair pulled mostly likely Lynda (as he's choking her you can clearly see hands got her hair wrapped in that choke).

hey just wondering if you are going to finish the 1v1 series as i loved watching them

Can you do a video creating 1 purple add-on for each killer Or creating a family set of addons for each killer e.g. recovery addons for ghostface

I was watching the Legion gameplay and at one point he gets 4 hits, I'm going "hell yeah, bring that guy down," and then he cancels his power instead of taking another swing to my confusion before realizing that this video was from before the rework

I listened to the fuming mixtape just the other day and the entity is spitting some bars.

I made some OP (probably) addons for Leatherface and the Shape! Leatherface: Sawyer Family Chili Recipe: Bubba's family chili recipe. The ingredients are gruesome yet delicious - No movement penalty during a Tantrum. - Increases Chainsaw recharging by 60%. Melody's Head: A trophy from a recent rampage. Being stunned while charging the Chainsaw or in the middle of a Chainsaw Sweep will automatically trigger a Tantrum. Shape: Strode Residence Sign: The sign from the front of Laurie Strode's house, stolen by The Shape. -Decreases Stalk penalty from other add-ons by 50%. -Decreases movement speed while stalking by 20%. Bloodied Bat: A baseball bat used by one of the people in the mob that attacked Michael. - Increases movement speed and vault speed by 25% in Tier III. - Increases the amount of stalk required to reach Tier III by 30%.

idk why but i feel like the tag is basically the entity saying "Yo you finally past through, here's your tag" to blight

love ur content

You could do a tier list ranking each killers lore?

I have no idea what any of this means, but it sounded smart and I’m here for it 👍🏻

You should do a teir list with the dietetics controlling or commanding that killer like the mind flyer for demo etc

I think the tuft of hair could be from Judith or Laurie maybe while mike was stalking Laurie he grabbed a tuft of hair that fell? I don’t know

the entity really likes making glass like objects

The entity makes the best music🎶

*yall ever wonder what joey's mixtape sounds like*

Actually in (4:22). Hoodie man did to Carmina before crows kill her friends. Sadly, quite sad for her. Note: I can’t stop editing :(

I cant help but wonder what the entity sounds like if it where to spit some rhymes

12:30 i like to think the entiity just took on a human form and just started goin hard on the mic lmao

Could you so the lore behind all the different addons? I’d love to know more about them.

Imagining The Entity spitting some bars to the Legion's mixtapes is such a funny mental image lmao

I SWEAR HE IS UNDERRATED BRO HE GIVES AMAZING TIPS AND THEORYS BRO I LOVE YOUR CONTENT 😤😤👑🔛🔝

7:10 Add-on Name: “The Torn Bookmark” AZHYMOVS: “I’m pretty sure this is a bookmark”

Legion: "Well, we have one Ultra Rare addon. What's our second one gonna be?" Entity: *Puts on the Stylish Sunglasses addon* "Ayo, gimme that mic. I'm gonna lay down some otherworldly bars"
