What do the claws around my characters symbol mean?

Question

Notice the small claws around my character symbol. I've been wondering for quite a while what those mean, after all, I've only seen them around myself and not in every game I play.

A while ago, I've read about a killer perk which grants him bonusses when a single survivor is alive. Are those related? If not, what else do they mean?

Answer 1

It means you are the target of the killers obsession, caused by Save The Best For Last, Dying light, or play with your food. These new killer perks give the killer special bonuses for interacting with you, though the way he interacts with you varies by perk
