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.

Mans read a whole ass H.P. Love craft book for this video, mans is dedicated
I love the idea of the entity being a Azathoth type being. That was mind blowing. Never considered it from that angle before.
Anyone else notice that “nyalaphatar” starts with the sound “Nea” HMMMMM???
i mean it could just be that it has no body it's just there he just exist an entity
So you mean Nea, right?
nice!! also whenever you said Nyarlathotep i thought you said Nea and didn't even question it
This man has opened a rabbit hole for us! Lol omg this guy really did his research!!
We need a DBD movie!!!
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
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! ♥
what is the song of in this video cause it slaps
Hey I have a suggestion, can you make a video of wraith vs the legions I would love to see who wins, if you are able to that would be awesome, please take care.
Behind Hastur, Nyarlathotep is a personal favorite Mythos entity
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?
The entity is a Bing being that needs to feed of a bottomless stomach that never ends
Nearlathotep.
hey i watched your ranked killer worst to best video and i relized you didnt say something about plague that might not be known by people that to me would make it possible if done correctly might make them lower if you would like to talk about this please let me know
The Entity is the fanbase of the game. It has to stay entertained to keep that whole universe there, and if everyone got bored and left, it's done
In lovecraft there is also atlach-nacha, a deity in the shape of a gigantic spider that I think is the inspiration for the "spider" part of the entity.
The entity is a bit weird 😅
