Welcome friends and foes, Survivors and Killers. Today we’ll be looking into the Huntress, Dead by Daylight’s most popular Killer who really has stood the test of time. We’ll be looking at the Huntress’s combination of gameplay, visual design and character biography to determine just how this dynamite success was achieved and what makes the character tick.
Got any suggestions for things you want me to discuss? Leave a comment and I’ll add it to my list!

Huntress is one of the most terrifying/favorite characters. Proud to have her as a main. So glad you did a video for her!
I actually watched another video on the story of Vasilisa and Baba Yaga. Here's the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuV7Pi7iRLo&t=328s
Great video as always! Although I do have one complaint. 4:45 this entire rant felt very entitled and extremely unnecessary, especially when later in the video you address the exact reason people view Huntress as "child like". I don't understand why you had to come off as so hostile when addressing this, as if people were in the wrong or something for thinking this when it is heavily implied in her base lore. anyways, good vid, that part just really bothered me
Can’t wait for Felix deep lore dive. My man need some love
Tapp will appreciate this.
6:43 "as you can probably tell by the background footage I am playing like dogshit"
Meanwhile, the background footage
Me getting sniped by a hatchet lmao
Great video though fr
I just love how the little details of Huntress really tie her character together. How does she carry so many hatchets? She steals belts from the soldiers who invade her forest. Why does she hum? It was the last sound she heard from her mother (also unnerves her human prey).
While I understand wanting Anna to narrate her tome lore to understand her thought process (and to refute the claim that she's mentally a child), I do think less is more works better for her. I personally think it would've been more interesting to have it be narrated by one of her daughters (though that would've been super sad, listening to a kid slowly dying, so maybe not). I also notice that the quotes that accompany her perks are not from her but from her victims, which while not being a lot, do show how Anna plays mind games with her prey.
Also an underrated bit of lore is that the portrait of Anna's family shows that she had a baby sibling that died at some point (whether before or after her mother's death we have no idea but probably safe to assume before). I personally like to imagine she steals the little girls not just so she can be a mother, but also because she feels she failed as a sister (she's the OG Charlotte Dehayes, except Charlotte was technically born first so does that make Anna a later version of Charlotte? 😉 JK, though I do judge people who simp for Huntress and not Charlotte; Buff Russian Lady and Buff French Lady are making a home together in the Fog and no, I don't care about canon).
Dude the story at the start of the video is not thar dramatic i kid you not people get laughts out of thr story
Huntress is the character im attached to the most because i shit you not, my mom used to sing the huntress lullaby to us.
I dont get people who claim that Anna is 'child like' cause to everyone in the community I know claims that Anna is actually 'Mommy'
I missed your lore videos so much. It great to have them back
Will you do a video about the ringu chapter considering this is the first time we're getting a chapter based on a book
my wife! 🙂
Groovy video.
“There’s no murderous man hunter in rabbit masks throwing hatchets at people in real life.”
Actually, that’s a real thing in Fairfax County, VA. Even down to the axe-throwing.
Well according to Patrick looking at someone is a skill (face camping)
Am I about to watch a 20 min video about the huntress?
Of course I am (grabs chips)
The moment you opened up with the fairytale of Vasilisa, I slammed that like button. Vasilisa and Baba Yaga is one of my favorite fairytales of all time, and I can’t believe I never realized how thematically/atmospherically similar Huntress’s story is to it!
So happy to see another Lore video Pixel, was getting the hankering for listening to a vid from you.
Fantastic work as always, plus Jo was delightful as a guest and an explainer of game mechanics
Such a great video!
For 3 minutes, after that you put the Plague lobby ost on background
Thank you for finally covering my first Killer ever used.The memories are flooding back.
I always felt that Huntress was one of the most tragic killers. Born during war, having to live a cautious existence, with only a lullaby for comfort after her mother's death which she had no comprehension of. Does she ever wonder what her mother would've thought of the Entity? The survivors? Could she be redeemed or has she been in a feral state for too long? A mindless hunter.
I would agree that Anna is a survivalist, though in her lore she kidnaps young girls and they eventually perish. It is not necessarily a flaw in her design. Mothers who produce children have a chemical (instinctual like) reason to care and provide. Since Anna does not have children, it makes sense that she is protraying a mother without being one. She knows the basics of being of mother, but she lacks the instincts to actualy being one biologically. So she follows what she does not know
Strange, I didn't get a notification for this. Glad I checked your channel, I love your lore videos!
Baba Yaga is that one forgettable marvel villain
Could you do a video on FNAF in DBD? I’d love to hear your thoughts
10:01 no that’s Roy burns
Honestly I’d love to just listen to you read stories like the intro
Hey pixle bush, I love your videos man. Your like the lore keeper or codex or something for dbd it makes the killers/survivors more interesting more in depth more alive. It's awesome keep it up man:)
You nailed it on the head with what doesn't make sense about her lore and the reason people slap the "mind of a child" label on her, it's the fate of the little girls she kidnapped
Personally I think that she really perished alongside her mother and is some form of undead who eventually forgot about the concept of eating or keeping yourself safe from the cold but kept hunting for sport and wearing heavy furs and leathers as trophies, a volkolak like many theorize her to be (though this headcanon ties her closer to Jason voorhes, it diminishes her prowess as a survivalist, but the little girls perishing already did, so)
Amazing video you definitely did your research:)
moodyjo wrote an excellent script for her part. you can tell she's a super solid writer/good at giving speeches. I'm happy to see you bringing on board other content creators.
I love a lot about the huntress aside from the logical pitfalls in her story. they're snags on a killer that is otherwise so iconic in DBD I'd argue she should be the mascot for it, not the trapper.
One thing I've always likes about huntress from a game play standpoint is the "all or nothing" take from her. Either u hit, or you don't. Unlike our favorite kpop boy where you just spam knives like ur in a battlefield game. Huntress makes it rewarding for both killers and survivors.
While trapper is the very first killer in the game, but I feel like huntress should at the least have a lot more spotlight given to her as the box art killer. She’s just so iconic despite being so simple.
You have no idea how refreshing it is to hear that Jason isn't THAT similar to Trapper. The man sets one bear trap in the entire franchise. It frustrates me to no end when people say he's just a man with a machete. Fantastic video!
i don’t think i can ever get tired of your videos
i normally don’t comment but i have to say that i absolutely love your content
I never really thought of huntress as childish. I consider her more feral.
So happy to see more lore videos from you!
What's the name of the song used in the intro?
So when a video about how Jeff is too pure for Dead by Daylight?
I love Russian folk lore, as I’m Russian and they’re pretty badass
7:25 this part broke me. Excellent work as always, I love your stuff!
Pixel Bush tf2 player real?
Love the videos, by chance is there one coming out about the legion?
Huntress main since my first day playing dbd 😀
I would just like to say just cause she is Russian and takes little girls doesn't mean she was dbd's take on baba yaga. That's like saying because Mikaela is a ginger witch she was dbd's take on the girl from Hocus pocus
I have to say ,Plague has one of the top 3 killer menu music in the game
