After this quote, the kill counter will show how the Woods King is killed using his real name.

Effects of being the Woods King

 * Every Woods King’s kills will get a sound, while when the Woods King is dead, every player will hear a deep horror noise.
 * There is a distinct map icon in where you become the Woods King, marked with a Lion footprint. This is shown when you kill someone, and is visible to everyone in the game.
 * Is granted with two perks: Gift of the Woods and Windwalk.
 * Due to the Gift of the Woods perk, the Woods King appears bigger, like the Faction Leader.
 * Being the Woods King does have disadvantages, because other people will be chasing after you for the granted perks it gives and you may be caught in a deadly battle with players teaming up against you for the Woods King role, so it may be useful only to pick it up at the end, when there are few players left to ensure your own safety.
