Who is the scariest character to enter the Entity’s Realm? Today I’d like to find that out by combining the backstories and lore as well as the visual and design aspects of these characters to determine which is the scariest. We’ll start out with the least scary and work our way up to the most, covering all of the base game killers as well as the bonus ones available through cosmetics.
At the time of this video’s release Chapter 32 has been announced as Dungeons & Dragons! The PTB is out and the new killer is Vecna, as well as an elf Survivor and castle map!

Good video. First things first, feedback. I agree somewhat with all of what you said though I was surprised by alot of the placements. This is probably pretty normal considering how fear is subjective. I'll just list what I was thinking.
First thing that admittedly bugged me somewhat was the Alien being so low. The Xenomorph… I can understand why it was placed so low honestly. It's threat level on a planetary level is rather low compared to other entities of god levels of power such as dredge, pyramid head, and others and it seems like you were basing the fear ranking more so off the story and backstory/lore. Which the Xenomorph sorta lacks. Still I feel it should have been one level higher, and for mainly one reason. Having watched the first movie recently and being a avid alien isolation fan. Sure the Xenomorph isn't that scary on paper. But in practice. It's an nearly unstoppable killing machine. A organism is unrivaled hostility. Being hunted by it is undoubtedly terrifying and you can never really know when it'll strike or when your next. In most ways, the fear is nearly apocalyptical, as you really will find yourself feeling like there's nothing you can do against it. No matter how hard you try or what you die. It will kill, it will hunt, and you will find yourself dead or minutes away from death. That d*mn creature walking around with it's thudding footsteps and the sound of it's tail dragging against the ground… From experience, I'd atleast rank it as Extremely scary. Considering that the experience I had was in a game, I can't imagine how blood curdling and spine chilling seeing and facing that "thing" would feel in reality. I understand that's it's threat level is low compared to like the dredge or pyramid head… and other otherworldly entities. Still I'd atleast rank it as scarier than Birkin. Not because Birkin isn't scary, it's just if I had to compare my experiences with both from their respective games. Birkin felt like a threat… but that wasn't particularly scary even if he was disturbing. While the Xenomorph's Alien Isolation genuinely took me years of improving my fear resistance to even beat the game on it's recommenced difficulty. I had to do multiple playthroughs just to stomach it and beat it once.
As for others, nothing else really came to mind except one who I thought was criminally low. The Cenobite. I don't know much about them admittedly. I do know they are all about torture and pain. (And pleasure? ugh…) Anyway, a creature that intentionally tortures you, just to inflict hellish pain on you. I don't understand how that isn't atleast at Extremely scary from that alone. And considering that if I recall directly, his mori is to send you directly to his realm… out of the entities realm… where he presumably proceeds to torture you for all eternity… It shows a higher level of threat than most other killers here and the prospect of suffering eternal suffering and agony… makes my blood run cold. I'd rank him as terrifying at bare minimum if not way higher. The idea of that would directly give me nightmares if it weren't for the fact that I don't get nightmares very easily. Anyway, other than finding these two to be way off, and others to be a little strange being so high or so low, I don't think I have any problems with those so good video again.
Now, just to specify, I'm not complaining, after all, fear is subjective and I'd be stupid for me to consider everyone to think of this the same way I do. I'm just sharing what I think. Thanks for the video and have a great day. And if anybody else doesn't mind, considering you might have taken the time to read all of this, why don't you share what you think about the placements?
I just had a video idea: What is the scariest thing about each Killer? Like their intelligence or appearance.
No way a BTS band member isnt considered the least scarier, instead of being chased by Trickster, the most logical thing anyone would do is to bully him into submission, BH really did a stretch to force some Kpoper and justify it into the game just to cope into the the whole Kpop fever lol.
Could you make a video on what survivors you think die in their cinematic intros? Like how Dwight gets caught by trapper, or when Dredge is behind Haddie, and so on
I think characters that are kind of just real people that were just murderers in their real life. Think Clown, Trickster, Ghostface, Trash Merchant etc. But design wise, Unknown is 100% the scariest, then next is Dredge
Personally, I would have added dredge up with the unknown. It’s a universe of its own much like the entity, but probably not as refined as it. Nonetheless, once inside it, I don’t think you can escape it.
Michael, Dredge, Doctor, Unknown, Spirit, and the scientist from Resident Evil
How two small dolls are not at the bottom i don't understand
Personally I dont understand why GF is so high up if he is no different from the legion and can be killed pretty easily
It's easy to say that some are scarier than others, but if we were in the trials, we'd all be scared regardless of which killer is present. You're being hunted by a killer and can't fight back in any meaningful way, just delay them while you try to escape.
I remember I told my gf to rate the dbd killers from most scary and the least scary now she has nightmares of the unknown
Michael with his blank ghost white face and heavy breathing just stalking people and taking enjoyment in murdering them will always be the most terrifying.
Bald Jrm
Ghostface when he pulls me off of a gen
you keep showing up on my recommended and honestly i might just get the game so i can enjoy your vids more
Nea definitely. Nea mains moreso.
bro the unknown could be your biggest fear if thats what you think it is
People please I preach to you out of love belive on the lord Jesus Christ and trust in him for you salvation and not in yourself Christ came to die for our sin we have all sinned and deserve hell but God is so merciful and Jesus died on the cross to take our punishment so that who ever belive on him will not perish but have eternal life john 3:16 romans 10:9 if we confess with our mouth Jesus is lord and belive in our heart that god rose him from the dead we will be saved we can not earn salvation it is the free gift from God
You should make an informative video explaining why every clear inspects their weopon after hit. İt could be intresting (maybe)
The oni is the scariest killer just think.
You have heard a tale about a samurai that can butcher 1,000 men and that he is stonger and bigger than any samurai. He’s screms are just pure rage and hatred. His mori is just brutal he dosent cut the tongue of he rips of the tongue. He is really cool and horrifying
What if the were elk isn't anna but her mother that the entity merged with the deer that killed her to create a new killer
The Unknown no contest for me
ngl I think u should stick to the actual killers and not the cosmetics like the ferryman and the jabberwock it’s different if u put Hunk or something because he’s actually a different character and not just a skin meanwhile the ferryman and jabberwock aren’t they’re just sets
Twins below merchant!? In what universe!!
Unknown takes the cake for scariest bar none.
-Twisted abomination of unknown origins.
-Incredibly strong and agile
-Inhuman, therefore impossible to reason with, bargain with or understand and predict.
-Mimics voices to lure you.
-Can seemingly instantly teleport to places near you (shown out of the game through its bios where it just appears inside the Olivia's bathroom).
-Will likely brutalize you rather than kill you quick, then goes on to wear your skin/body.
That thing, the nameless legend
The Unknown's design reminds me of the artwork of Trevor Henderson.
Myers, Pinhead, and Pyramid Head are the most terrifying/creepiest to me. They just suddenly showed up in the realm and decided to stay. Like, they're literally just there, staring, menacingly.
Afaik, they literally just do whatever they want and are not really controlled by the entity. It just so happens that what they want to do at the moment suits what the entity wants.
Imagine the chaos and horror they can create should they just go "fck everything and everyone"
Vecna isn't just a Lich, he's a GOD in his own right. Hence why the Entity has to mark him so he can't use his full abilities.
Me: sees the title
Me not even 1 second later: “The Spirit”
Seriously? The Twins before Trickster? Bro is actually genuinely scared of a twink k-pop star.
wesker being above the xenomorph or even above most of these killers is cracked. wesker is not scarier than nemesis no siree
On the lead up to the Unknown when it was being teased, I genuinely looked back over my shoulder while walking home from work at night because of it
I have NEVER done that for a DBD killer before, its The Unknown, easily
No joke, to me Spirit its as scary as the unknown, i do love her cause i main her, but man if were to see her face to face id pass out
Scary by gameplay?
Hillbilly leatherface Micheal Myers
If we’re going lore wise then surprisingly trickster would be up there
Its between dredge or cenobytes ngl. The rest will u give u a quick death or a slow death. But dredge is a manifestation of bad thoughts with its own entity-like realm within that fog. True unimaginable fates. Cenobytes is essentially hell but where pain and pleasure are intertwined.
I;m gonna be real with you fam, I think Pyramid Head is gonna scare me way more than Freddy
I believe once castlevania comes out Dracula will own the spot of scariest and for a number of reasons. 1. Dracula is not a regular vampire, although vampires of themselves are terrifying, he is the chosen dark lord of Chaos, meaning he can’t be ‘killed’ by regular means & even if he is, will resurrect after 100 years, meaning even if you ‘win,’ he will hunt down your entire bloodline. 2. Dracula doesn’t just kill humans, he doesn’t even necessarily want to, he’s not one to coop them up as cattle either, after the death of his second wife, he decides to exterminate the entirety of the human race, in a mercy for the world overall as he finds humans profoundly evil, manipulators & vile creatures to walk the earth, so he vows to cleanse it, making no room to spare humanity for any reason whatsoever, he sheds no tears for the despair of the entire race. 3. So Dracula doesn’t just want to feed a bloodlust, nor is he an escapable presence, but ontop of that, IF you get killed by him or his hordes, your body is then taken to be reanimated by his forgemasters to become an evil, demonic ‘night creature’ loyal to Dracula’s empires goals to seek out the end of humanity. So if you die trying to protect your family, odds are you’ll be recreated through necromantic hell magic to kill them as a demon, and as seen in nocturne, they still possess some memories of who they are, still being forcibly controlled by forgemasters so you could see your families faces as you destroy and maul on them as a monster of the dark lord.
of course the first thing we see Wesker doing is killing a gay friend, classic Wesker

23:28 he might just be me
If you have a good Mike to me easily the scariest
