Pinhead does not simply kill his victims – he erases them completely from the game. His Mori animation in Dead by Daylight leaves absolutely nothing behind.
Although the mood in Dead by Daylight is a bit gloomy at the moment, as the game has to say goodbye to the “Stranger Things” characters, there is also reason to celebrate. A new killer has been announced and that is Pinhead from the Hellraiser franchise. Like all killers, Pinhead has his own Mori animation, and it is even special in one way: The survivor is transported to another dimension.
What is a Mori animation? Normally, survivors in Dead by Daylight are killed by the mysterious Entity when they die on the hook. However, due to certain perks or offerings, killers can sometimes “take matters into their own hands” and personally kill a survivor. Since this originally comes from the offering “Memento Mori”, players simply call this kill animation “Mori”. Each killer has their own, which is usually very cool but also very brutal.
What does Pinhead do? Pinhead stays true to his cinematic counterpart and uses chains and hooks. The survivor is lifted and then captured by numerous summoned chains. The chains pierce the skin at several points and even stretch the face a little.
Then a portal opens with a stake equipped with nails and blades, to which the survivor is bound and subsequently screams as he disappears into the portal – thus being erased from the game.
Thus, Pinhead is the first killer who leaves nothing behind from his victim and simply transports the corresponding character from the map to another dimension.
Especially cool: Unlike most other killers, Pinhead even speaks and says: “I shall tear your soul apart” – in German roughly: “Ich werde deine Seele zerreißen.”
What do you think of this Mori animation? Pretty cool and fitting for Pinhead? Or rather harmless and boring compared to other Moris?
