Happy Halloween everyone! I hope you had a good night!

Down time between trials is usually boring for Dwight, unless the survivors are feeling like giving him some attention to pass the time. Most often, though, he’ll practice his hunting skills. At first, it felt weird to do it, but it’s been so long by now that it’s more of a hobby than anything - and he’s soon to become a master-class hunter, for certain!

To put it shortly, yes! For a long time, the survivors didn't really even realize there was a cat in their trials. Sometimes they'd spot him and think of it as an oddity, but perhaps something like the Entity's crows - but when he started appearing at their campfire, they realized that he must count as some modicum of a survivor, too. In any case, the little furball was stuck in the same hell that they were - and they found that he provided a little sprinkle of a bonus in trials, be it a small Prove Thyself or Leader bonus or just moral support. It never gets easier, being the last ones alive. Sometimes he will stick with the last survivor until the end, but Dwight will usually find the hatch before anyone does because it's so LOUD to his little ears - then, it's a game of Follow the Leader to their escape. He won't jump in himself unless he hears a final scream, or if the killer starts approaching the hatch. It's not often that a dual escape happens, though, to be honest.

spare hatch for a little mans….?

It didn’t take Dwight too long to learn that some of the killers weren’t too fond of cats. Frank of the Legion, in particular, seems to derive a cruel enjoyment from terrorizing him - maybe because he’s just easy to spook. Either way, all he has for warning is the sound of those heavy, rushing footsteps — and then he runs for cover.
