Something, or rather someone, is here now. I’ve never seen this...Shape before. A man hiding behind a mask. He comes with a determination. But more worrying, he comes with an apparent grasp of the hunt. He does not strike me as someone who even went unwillingly to this place. Is there more to this being than I can fathom? |

The Shape (Michael Myers) is one of the six Killers to be featured in Dead By Daylight. The Shape was featured as a part of the Halloween DLC.
The Shape
Background
Some humans are simply bad seeds. Seeds infused with a distilled and pure form of evil. Michael Myers is one of those seeds. He had no issues with causing the pain of others. Instead, it was exactly what he sought. But even life can be tough on those with minds filled with terror. The difference is just how one goes about to solve those problems. For Michael, he had to kill to find some inner peace. As he took his sister’s life, the police found a silent boy dressed as a clown at the scene.
When one stumbles upon a growing fire, one does not pour gasoline on it. But this was an action taken by officials that had no idea how it would shape this demon in the boy’s body. Sending Michael to a mental institution was a feeble attempt to save the child. Unsuccessful therapy and nightly screams just made him even more introverted and deranged. People hoped that Michael Myers would end up a parenthesis, soon to be forgotten and buried, a failure that soon were to rot away. But then...he escaped.
Loadout
The Shape is armed with a kitchen knife. His special ability is "Evil Within". When looking at a survivor, he receives "Stalking" points, which charges his special ability and decreases his terror radius to 0. Stalking a survivor marks his aura white, making him stand out from the environment.
| Evil Within Level | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Tremendously decreased terror radius. Slightly decreased movement speed (same speed as running survivor). Slightly decreased lunge. Grants immunity to detection perks. |
| 2 | Mildly reduced terror radius. Slightly increased movement speed. Slightly increased lunge. |
| 3 | Normal terror radius. Doubled attack damage (can down survivor with one hit, duration: 60s). Slightly increased lunge. |
Upon reaching Level 2, the Shape can never fall back to Evil Within Level 1. It is possible to reach Level 3 up to 4 times, as every survivor can be stalked for a sum of 1 Level of Evil Within. Survivors that no longer provide Evil Within charges are marked with a bright red aura instead of white.
Unique perks
These are perks which start off only appearing in the Shape bloodweb. After achieving level 30 you can unlock the first teachable perk which is Save the Best for Last, when you reach level 35 Play With Your Food appears, at level 40 Dying Light appears.
The Killer’s perks are focused around “obsession;” just like Michael Myers is obsessed with killing, the Killer picks a survivor, and tags him/her as his “obsession”. The killer only receives one obsession per match.
| Icon | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
 |
Save The Best For Last | You become obsessed with one survivor. As long as your “obsession” is alive, you won’t have to wait as long as usual between your attacks. |
 |
Dying Light | If you succeed to kill or sacrifice the survivor you’re obsessed with, the other survivors get a penalty to their repair, healing and sabotage speed. However, your “obsession” receives a bonus to healing and rescuing actions. Only one obsession per match. |
 |
Play With Your Food | If Michael taunts the survivor he is obsessed with, he will get faster. Every time you chase your “obsession” and let them escape, your movement speed is increased until your next attack. Only one obsession per match. |
