The Macmillan Tower egg sac in DBD is spreading, and fans are speculating what it could hatch

If you don't have the tendency to look up (I know I don't), then you may have missed the egg sacs that have sprouted on the Macmillan Tower in Dead by Daylight, which are spreading.

The egg sac first appeared during an in-game event, still mostly intact on the water tower of the Macmillan map. However, as new chapters and events come and go, the sac seems to be spreading and hatching something yet unknown to us.

With the confirmation from the developers during the DBD AMA on Reddit that we should keep an eye on it, the fans have started speculating what exactly could hatch from the big creepy eggs.

A few suepect that it could have something to do with the casting of Frank Stone (a Supermassive x Behaviour Interactive game in the style of Until Dawn). However, considering this has been in the game for years, it seems highly unlikely. While the developers have hinted that we are going to get some crossover between the two games, this one just seems a little too early for it.

Others are saying that it has something to do with the original chapter that will be coming out later this year (and this seems the most likely theory to me). If you are wondering what the Killer could be in this chapter, many are guessing a spider creature.

There are charms in Tome 10 of the Rift hinting about a future Killer being a spider. When you check the descriptions of the charms for all levels of Tome 10, you can see that they talk about an Infestation as well: Arachnid Eggs, Hatchlings, a Predator, and even a Mother whose spiderlings will spread over the realm (an honestly terrifying thought). The legs coming out of the slowly spreading egg sacs do look very spidery.

Creating a Spider Killer is a bit tricky due to the width of spider legs. However, Behaviour Interactive has tackled unique-looking characters like Chucky recently, so now would be the best time to create another unique Killer (if they make it so it can climb on walls and ceilings, I don't know how I'll survive in real life).

However, others have mentioned that it reminds them of the Entity, which I can also see. The Entity is what brought all of the Killers and Survivors to the realm, so to finally have it as a character in the game would be amazing.

However, I'd love it more if the Entity actually played against both Killers and Survivors, making all of our lives difficult. This way, it would be a better fit for an event or game modifier. Halloween looks like the most likely event to reveal the secret of the eggs.

Apart from serious speculations, there are some hilarious comments as well, like Lara Croft emerging from it. The iconic Survivor is coming to the game soon, but I doubt she will be bursting out of an egg sac.

Another comment that made me cackle is from LinkCanLonk, only now realizing that there is an egg sac on the tower. And honestly, with how chaotic these matches can go, I don't think I often look up either. Whatever the sac is hiding, I hope it is revealed soon. Until then, we will definitely be keeping an eye on it.
