He won't be the last good man to die.

Trapper is an unreleased Hero in Deadlock, previously available in the Hero Labs gamemode. Trapper catches vermin on his Silktrap and exterminates them with Bottled Phantasmicide. He can protect allies from harm with Pest Barrier, as his enemies get swarmed by his Crawling Plague of spectral spiders.

A hard-working civil servant of the New York Municipal Coven, Trapper is ready to clock in during Maelstrom day to earn some basketball tickets.

Trapper was added to Hero Labs on November 7, 2024, and removed from the game when the mode was discontinued on August 18, 2025.

Backstory

“

An employee of the New York Municipal Coven; Trapper spends his days building Spirit Urns, luring giant rats, and capturing various invasive species from The Outer Planes. It's not a particularly glamorous job, and he really hates working with spiders, but those Knickerbocker season tickets don't pay for themselves.

Lore

Trapper is fighting in the Ritual because he "volunteered to work Maelstrom day."^[1]

While he hates spirit spiders^[2], Trapper loves working for the Municipal Coven.^[3]

Trapper wants to impress someone named Cinnamon^[4], who is likely a stripper. ^[5]

Character Interactions

Holliday appreciates working with Trapper because of how "normal" he is.^[6]
Calico feels like killing Trapper is lowering herself^[7] and expresses total contempt for Trapper.^[8]
Holliday^[9], Mirage^[10], Pocket^[11] and the Shopkeeper^[12] respect Trapper and appreciate the work he does as part of the Municipal Coven.

Trivia

Trapper's jacket used to be black when he was first added to Hero Labs on November 7, 2024. This model was updated on February 25, 2025, changing the color of Trapper's clothes and removing the spiders on his model.
Trapper currently uses the generic Target Dummy model. His previous model, a modified version of Pocket's original model, was removed in the Six Heroes update.
