The Wraith is one of the original killers in Dead by Daylight, the asymmetrical horror game released in 2016 by Behaviour Interactive. His Wailing Bell is his signature power item, used to cloak and decloak during a trial. Clips of the bell's triple chime spread through DBD streams, montages and TikTok edits, where players learned to recognise the sound before seeing the killer. It remains popular because that short ringing works instantly as shorthand for a stealth killer approaching.
