New Ghost: The Lurk

[Tbennster]

The Lurk is an aggressive stealth ghost, it leaves smudges, footprints and responds to DOTs projector but does not respond to spirit boxes or books. Lurks cause lights to flicker and actively shut off electricity, but they are rendered powerless in lit areas. What makes the Lurk so deadly is that they can silently initiate hunts in dark locations however luckily for the ghost hunter they are very slow. The Lurk has the special ability to turn certain rooms into hunting zones that lock the ghost hunter inside if they enter and instantly causes the Lurk to activate hunting mode in that room. If the player suspects the ghost is a Lurk they should avoid rooms with cut electricity at all times due to being an unmistakable sign of becoming a Hunting Zone. Despite the Lurk being so silent these ghosts are notorious for starting hunts much more than others without ghost hunters knowing, as soon as they enter dark areas they should be weary.

No, you're just asking for mixture of Mare, Deogen, and Demon... that would also be super easy to figure out even without evidence.

Not only that, but also you're pretty much guaranteeing someone dies to it if its "hunting room" is impossible to kite in... of which there are several examples, the bedrooms of houses and the tents at the campgrounds immediately come to mind.

How do I make a good ghost concept? What makes a good ghost to you?

You're asking the wrong guy there - I'm just pointing out the obvious problems with the design.

Like... if it triggers ANY of it's abilities... even setting up their proposed room trap... even once, then you immediately know what it is... which makes the primary goal of gathering evidence completely pointless. That's not to even mention the unfair advantage it has with a broken fuse box... and the high failure chance from it putting a trap in an unavoidable room that is also without hiding spots.

What would make a ghost a better suggestion is not something like what you wrote, that's for sure. As well, other than the upcoming uv change, footprints are not evidence to be used as all ghosts sans wraith leave footprints.

"Not what you wrote" Insulting me is not a solution, in fact I would argue it'd lead to more awful posts so you have achieved nothing but me putting more ♥♥♥♥ on your favorite Phasmaphobia feedback. Enjoy reading more of these soon
