What is Dead by Daylight's Entity Based On? (Exploring the Entity)



Read more Dead by Daylight ➜ https://deadbydaylight.mgn.tv

The identity of the Entity is something that has been kept very mysterious for the past five years of Dead by Daylight. It’s unclear entirely what the Entity is, and also what the Entity wants. To maybe get some clarity we could first look to what the Entity may be based on. One inspiration that many will immediately go to is that of H.P Lovecraft and the monsters or creatures he wrote about, one of the most famous being Cthulhu. H.P Lovecraft has quite clearly been an inspiration for Behaviour and their design of the Entity in particular. This can be potentially backed up by similar phrasing and such in the lore. Lovecraft’s first work was named ‘The Alchemist’, the same name for the first entry within the Tomes, and the name utilised prior to revealing the character of The Blight. For the Entity, a Lovecraft creature named Nyarlathotep specifically appears to be the inspiration out of the different H.P Lovecraft creations. That was actually a name mentioned a lot in the comments of some of my theory videos also, asking me to draw a comparison between them.

Chapter XXI is a Hellraiser one! The PTB is currently out and features the new killer, The Cenobite, or Pinhead. This is, however, the only content that seems to be releasing with the chapter.

  1. If they need a new game mode, why not a ranked tower style? Give reds a reason to get sweaty, instead of random matches it'd be literally a rank climb, at lower ranks red ranks would have a time limit to finish against lower ranks to curb the Natural trolling reds sweat for middle tiers no keys no time limits. High ranks extra blood points or crystals

  2. Hey man! Stumbled upon your videos lately, and as someone who is utterly fascinated by DBD characters, designs and lore, but absolute garbage at playing it, I really enjoy your content! I learn so much and you put everything in a very clear, to the point way. Keep it up! ♥

  4. A quick note- as I read the HP Lovecraft greatest collection earlier today
    Nyarlathotep is said to destroy the world,
    Azathoth is said to destroy the universe when awaking.
    Nyarlathotep is also his servant and the messenger of the Outer Gods- and while the universe and world are far different, would it be logical that Nyarlathotep ends up awakening Azathoth, thus both become responsible and both accounts are true?
