There are loads of Killers in Dead by Daylight and the list keeps on growing with the inclusion of new and original ones being routinely added - so I've broken them down all here along with their corresponding Chapters.
Dead by Daylight is renowned for being a pantheon of horror, with some of the most iconic horror franchises, like Alien and Chucky joining the game alongside a whole cast of original Killers.
How many Killers are there?
There are currently 35 available Killers to choose from, 22 of which are original to DbD, while the remaining 13 are from iconic horror film and video game franchises.

Who are the original Killers in Dead by Daylight?
Dead by Daylight has a vast array of original Killers who have been drawn into The Fog to sacrifice Survivors. While initially starting with three default Killers, the roster has grown substantially to include Killers from a variety of eras. You can see that below from the K-pop-inspired Trickster to the Babylonian-era Plague.
