A figure clad in the head of a hare. A most disturbing sight. This new foe holds something human within her. Some shards of ordinary life. She seems to be a hunter. I have met many different beings in this place, but this is the first one with a natural skill of hunting. In any other place one could deem it a talent. But her knack for tracking, capturing and killing is something else here. There is something else in her too, she seems to seek something.

Anna (Russian: Анна) or "The Huntress" is one of 40 Killers currently featured in Dead by Daylight.

She was introduced as the Killer of CHAPTER 5: A Lullaby for the Dark, a free Chapter DLC released on 27 July 2017.


Overview

Armed with throwable hatchets, The Huntress is a constant threat to Survivors, even those at a great distance. With patience and precision, chases can end as quickly as they begin. Predict Survivor movement and let your hatchet fly – there's nothing quite like the rewarding sound of a target struck.


The Huntress is a ranged Killer, able to throw Hunting Hatchets at Survivors to injure them from a distance.

Her personal Perks, Beast of Prey, Territorial Imperative, and Hex: Huntress Lullaby, allow her to apply pressure through better Map awareness and enhanced chasing abilities.

Her Perks revolve around the hunt of the prey, to track and find so that she can get close enough to make the kill.

Difficulty Rating: Moderate
(These Killers require the Player to be comfortable with the basics of the role, though they share common mechanics with easier ones)


Lore

Additional Lore can be found in Tome 3 - Escalation: A Lovely War.

As soon as Anna was able to walk, her mother started teaching her how to survive a harsh, solitary life in the northern woods. Living in such an extremely remote and dangerous area required skill and resilience. When sunlight became too dim for productive activities, they would take refuge in their house, a sturdy old cabin constructed to resist the toughest winters. Close to the hearth’s warmth, Anna would rest in her mother's arms, surrounded by the few wooden toys and masks she had crafted for her. Drifting off to sleep with stories and lullabies, she dreamt happy dreams, ignorant of the events that would soon change everything.

Anna and her mother were stalking a great elk through the woods. They knew it was dangerous prey, but it had been a particularly difficult winter and they were almost out of food. The spectre of starvation frightened them more than any forest creature. Without warning, the elk reared, bellowed and charged at Anna. She was paralysed with fear as the whole world seemed to shake under the immense beast’s pounding hooves. The elk was close enough for Anna to see the murderous fury in its eyes when her mother threw herself in its path, axe in hand. A blood-curdling scream escaped from her lips as the elk impaled her upon its antlers and hoisted her into the air. With all her strength, she brought her axe down on its head again and again while it tried to shake her loose. With a sickening crack, the antlers snapped and Anna’s mother was free. The beast collapsed.

Anna was too small to move her mother’s broken body, so she sat with her in the clearing where she had fallen. To distract her from the dying elk’s cries, Anna’s mother held her and hummed her favourite lullaby. They stayed like that, the huntress and the elk getting quieter and colder, until Anna was alone in the silent forest. Eventually she stood up and started the long walk back home.

Still a child, she knew just enough about life in the frozen forest to survive. She followed her instincts and became one with the wild. She got older and stronger and practised her hunt. As she grew into a dangerous predator, her humanity became a half-remembered dream.

She widened her territory and lived off her hunts. She worked her way up through squirrels, hares, mink and foxes. Eventually she grew tired of them and hunted more dangerous animals like wolves and bears. When unsuspecting travellers came through her woods, she discovered her new favourite prey: humans. Unlucky souls who strayed into her territory were slaughtered like any other animal. She liked to collect their tools and colourful garments and especially toys when there were little ones. But she could never bring herself to kill the little girls.

Girls she would take back to her house, deep in the woods. They were precious, and looking at them woke up something deep in her heart. She craved the closeness of a loved one, a child of her own. Among the pillaged wooden toys, dolls and story books she couldn't read, the girls would be tied by the neck with a rough and chafing rope fastened firmly to the wall. She couldn't let them wander off, or they would surely die outside.

Every time, the girls would waste away and die of cold or starvation or sickness. Every time, it plunged Anna deeper into pain and sorrow and madness. She was compelled to try again, and started raiding the nearest villages to slaughter families and kidnap their daughters. She wore one of the animal masks her mother crafted for her so many years earlier to try to calm the frightened children. Villagers spread the legend of a half-beast lurking in Red Forest: The Huntress, who killed men and ate little girls.

War eventually came to the forest. German soldiers began to pass through, on the march to attack the collapsing Russian Empire. During these dark times, there were no more travellers. The villagers had abandoned their homes, and no more little ones to be found; only soldiers. Many of them were found with violent axe wounds. Whole groups disappeared mysteriously. Once the war was over, the rumours of The Huntress disappeared with it, engulfed by the Red Forest.

Unique Perks

The Huntress comes with 3 Perks that are unique to her:

Beast of Prey Your lust for a kill is so intense that your connection with The Entity is momentarily lost, making you totally unpredictable.

Upon gaining the Bloodlust Status Effect, Beast of Prey activates:

  • Grants the Undetectable Status Effect for as long as Bloodlust is active.

Beast of Prey grants 30/40/50 % bonus Bloodpoints for actions in the Hunter Category.
The bonus Bloodpoints are only awarded during the Trial.
"Where did she go?"

Hex: Huntress Lullaby A Hex rooting its power in despair.

Your hunt is an irresistible song of dread which muddles your prey's attention.

  • Survivors failing a Repair Skill Checkinstantly regress the Generator by 2/4/6 % of its maximum possible Progression in addition to the default Progression penalty.
  • Survivors failing a Healing Skill Check instantly regress the Healing Action by 2/4/6 % of its maximum possible Progression in addition to the default Progression penalty.

Each time a Survivor is hooked, Hex: Huntress Lullaby grows in power and gains 1 Token, up to a maximum of 5 Tokens.
Each Token reduces the timer between the Skill Check Warning cue and the Skill Check appearing for both Repair and Healing Skill Checks:

  • 1 Token: reduction of -14 %.
  • 2 Tokens: reduction of -28 %.
  • 3 Tokens: reduction of -42 %.
  • 4 Tokens: reduction of -56 %.
  • 5 Tokens: complete suppression of the Warning cue.

All effects of the Hex Perk persist until its Hex Totem is cleansed or blessed.

"That song, it drives me crazy!"

Territorial Imperative Unlocks potential in your Aura-reading ability.

Whenever you are farther than 24 metres from the Basement while a Survivor enters it, Territorial Imperative activates:

  • The Aura of that Survivor is revealed to you for 4/5/6 seconds.

Territorial Imperative has a cool-down of 45 seconds.

"We're not safe anywhere..."

Trivia

  • The Huntress was nicknamed "Bear" in development.
  • The Huntress was the first Killer to have a ranged attack.
  • The Huntress was the third female Killer.
  • The Huntress was the first playable Character with an unknown surname.
  • The Huntress was the third Killer to wear face masks.
  • The Huntress is likely ambidextrous, guiding her Axe with her right and throwing Hatchets with her left hand.
  • The Huntress' hare mask might be inspired from similar masks worn by the Spider Splicers of the BioShock franchise.
  • The Huntress is one of the most human-looking Killers in the game, as she has very few unnatural alterations from The Entity.
    • However, she does have pitch-black, animal-like eyes, likely a hint at her being a Bodark (see below).
  • The Huntress wears a silver ring on the middle finger of her left hand.
    • She likely does this due to her affinity for collecting shiny things.
  • The Huntress was the first Killer to vocalise her attack.
  • The Huntress is one of the few killers that is directly associated with animals.

Lore Trivia

  • The Huntress originates from the time of around World War I.
  • The soldiers encountered by her (Memory 2436) define The Huntress as a "Bodark," one of several types of lycanthropes in Russian and Slavic folklore.
    • A Bodark is a person that willingly chooses to become a werewolf, often uses a ritual to force the change and are not affected by the lunar cycle unlike common werewolves. They're considerably more dangerous and terrifying than other werewolves in that they retain control over their actions and remain completely aware in their wolf form, which combined with heightened senses and enhanced abilities makes them excellent hunters and tremendously difficult opponents to face.
    • The other type of werewolf that fits The Huntress' background is the "Volkolak", who can also transform at will, but unlike the Bodark both into a wolf and a bear form, which is the likely inspiration for The Huntress' WIP name "Bear".
  • The Lullaby hummed by The Huntress is an actual, well-known Russian lullaby called "баюшки баю" (Bayushki Bayu). The lyrics warn children to not sleep close to the edge of their bed as they risk getting snatched by a wolf and dragged off into the woods.
  • In The Huntress' family portrait inside the cabin of the "Mother's Dwelling" Map, it is likely hinted that she had a younger sibling.

Voice Actor

  • The Huntress is voiced by Amélie Leguidader, who at that time worked as the Lead Game Programmer on the Game. She also sang the in-game Lullaby for most outfits.

Cosmetic Trivia

  • The Huntress' weapon skin, "Battle Tested Hatchet", is based on a WWI German Trench axe, although its appearence is changed, with the handle being lengthened and the beard being elongated.

The Mordeo

BE outfit 012

The Huntress as "The Mordeo"

  • The Huntress' Legendary Outfit, "The Mordeo", is a character from the Crypt TV series of the same name.
    • "The Mordeo" is one of several demons serving "The Mordeo Queen".
    • A Mordeo is created whenever a human entering its territory in the woodlands engages desperately in cannibalism, similar to how a "Wendigo" is created.
    • In languages such as Spanish, the word mordeo is translated as "bite," "sink your teeth into," "destroy," and "dreadful."
    • The Mordeo Queen commands her tribe similar to a wolf pack.

The Baba Yaga

BE outfit 014

The Huntress as "The Baba Yaga"

  • In Slavic folklore, Baba Yaga is a witch known to be a trickster and a provider of guidance.
    • She flies on a giant mortar and pestle, and uses her broom to clear out traces of her presence.
    • Lives in a hut with giant chicken legs.
    • Baba Yaga has an ambiguous moral nature, as she's been depicted in stories as a motherly helper and others that describe her as a fiendish cannibal who eats children.
  • Whenever The Huntress is wearing the "The Baba Yaga" Ultra Rare Outfit from the Modern Tales Collection (early 2022), the following special features include:
    • Unique Lobby Theme Music will be playing instead of the standard Killer Theme.
    • Unique idle animation in Killer Selection.
    • New Lullaby with a melody similar to her old Lullaby.
    • Sinister witch voice when attacking Survivors.
  • The "Baba Yaga" Ultra Rare Outfit contains references of Russian folklore connected to the witch:
    • The three colours (red, white, and black) represents the 3 horsemen from the fairy tale Vasilisa the Beautiful: Dawn (white), Midday (red), and Dusk (black).
    • The mask depicts the duality of Baba Yaga: Black witch mask shows her fiendishness and trickery (also shown by the snake symbol on her robe) and the white mask shows her helpful nature (also shown by the plant symbol on her robe).
      • The mask also references stories depicting Baba Yaga as a trio of witches, which explains the two faces forming into one.
    • The hanging chicken skulls and legs are a reference to her living chicken-legged hut.
  • Both The Huntress and Baba Yaga bear similarities.
    • Both express a motherly side to them.
    • Both are cannibalistic.
    • Both kidnap children, but with different motivations:
      • Baba Yaga is depicted in some stories kidnapping and eating children.
      • Often mistaken by the villagers for eating children, The Huntress instead kidnaps them with the intention of raising them as her own.
  • The "Mother's Dwelling" Map was originally going to be designed as Baba Yaga's chicken-legged hut for the cosmetic, but the chicken legs were instead added onto the cosmetic as an aesthetic.

The Red Queen

  • The Huntress' Very Rare Outfit, "The Red Queen," is a character originating from "Through the Looking-Glass" by author and mathematician Lewis Carroll.
    • The character is often mistaken for the Queen of Hearts, a character originating from Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland."
      • Carroll described the two queens as both being "Fury" but distinct: The Queen of Hearts is "ungovernable passion... blind and aimless" and the Red Queen being "cold and calm... formal and strict, yet not unkindly."
      • The Huntress' cosmetic even hints the Queen of Hearts' character:
        • Her Queen Axe description quotes the Queen of Hearts' famous line "Off with your head!"
        • Her Executioner Robe description quotes Queen of Hearts' "Death first... Sentence afterwards!", switched from the original "Sentence first--verdict afterwards."
    • It's unknown whether the developers combined the two queens into one whole character or simply made a common mistake. However, she seems to be a combination of the two since a line from the Red Queen can be seen in her Red Crown description "don't twiddle your fingers about it" from the original "Through the Looking-Glass," "Look up, speak nicely, and don't twiddle your fingers all the time."
