Poppy Playtime features a roster of iconic characters, some of whom might look adorable while others appear downright gruesome. With the introduction of the Chapter 4 DLC, the Safe Haven, there have been quite a few characters that have made their appearance. Here are all of the characters that appeared in Chapter 4 of Poppy Playtime.
All Characters in Poppy Playtime Chapter 4: Safe Haven
There are over 10 different characters that have appeared in Poppy Playtime chapter 4, but we'll only consider the ones that have made a physical appearance. Characters like CandyCat, Boxy Boo, Mommy Long Legs, and many more made secret appearances, but those weren't physical ones.
So, we'll overlook the VHS tape characters as well as the Cutout characters that appeared in the Safe Haven DLC. Now, here's a list of each of the characters that appeared in Poppy Playtime Chapter 4.
Poppy Playtime
One of the first characters you're introduced to at the beginning of the Chapter 4 DLC is Poppy Playtime. With a tiny doll-like appearance, Poppy is the titular character of Poppy Playtime created by Playtime Co.
Once the company’s beloved mascot, she harbors dark secrets tied to experiments on children. Presumed destroyed in a factory disaster, she reappears years later, now guiding you with cryptic clues to expose the company's terrible atrocities.
Kissy Missy
Kissy Missy, a pink humanoid toy from Poppy Playtime, is a Playtime Co. creation initially marketed as a “friend” to children. She appears in the Chapter 4 DLC alongside Poppy trying to survive against The Prototype. She appears docile but has an unsettling behavior that'll leave you questioning her true intentions.
Kissy Missy’s design hints at an amalgamation of organic and synthetic elements, with striking similarities to Huggy Wuggy. Though less overtly hostile than the likes of Huggy Wuggy, her presence definitely enhances the game’s uncanny tone.
The Doctor
Dr. Harley Sawyer, the scientist in Poppy Playtime: Chapter 4, aka 'The Doctor', is the central figure behind Playtime Co.’s unethical experiments. Once a respected researcher, his obsession with merging human consciousness with toys led to Project: Poppy and the tragic Child Tester Program.
His recordings reveal a manipulative and morally bankrupt mind, and he actively tries to corrupt you. In the Chapter 4 DLC, Sawyer is the primary antagonist, orchestrating horrors from the shadows. Though presumed dead, his legacy persists through monstrous creations, like The Prototype.
Yarnby
Yarnaby, a lion-like animatronic in Poppy Playtime: Chapter 4, is one the first grotesque horrors to make an appearance. Adorable at first glance, its cuddly facade hides a monstrous phase a retractable head revealing twin mouths, one with a bloody-toothed maw and another being an alienish inner jaw.
Acting as Harley Sawyer’s loyal enforcer, Yarnaby stalks Playtime Prison’s corridors, hunting you under the Doctor’s command. Yarnaby’s threat, while quite horrifying at first, is relatively easy to survive with predictable patterns eventually leading to its demise.
Doey the Doughman
Doey the Doughman, at first, is a benevolent dough-like ally in Poppy Playtime: Chapter 4. He protects the Safe Haven’s orphaned toys against Harley Sawyer’s tyranny. As the prison sector’s protector, he has earned the trust of Poppy, Kissy Missy, and even Ollie. His clay-like body lets him shapeshift and move through the facility with ease.
Unlike most toys, Doey resists The Doctor’s control. But later on, he succumbed to his own berserk desires, turning into a horrifying and grotesque form with hands coming out of his huge monstrous mouth. Eventually, he dies after being crushed underneath a piston.
Pianosaurus
Pianosaurus, a velociraptor-like toy in Poppy Playtime: Chapter 4, has a unique piano-shaped maw. He is generally dormant until provoked, and transforms into a frenzied “Speed Demon,” attacking moving targets with high speeds.
Despite its scary appearance, Pianosaurus’s role in Safe Haven isn't much, as he gets devoured by Doey right before trying to attack you. It did have some untapped potential, but alas, there's not much to see of him.
Baba Chops
Baba Chops, is the second pet of The Doctor, after Yarnby in Poppy Playtime: Chapter 4. He serves as Harley Sawyer’s loyal pet and ambushes you in a maze. Though briefly terrifying, Sawyer later commands it to retreat after making you kill a mini critter. While its feral design adds to Chapter 4’s unsettling atmosphere, the character remains underutilized or maybe would return in the next iteration.
Harley Bodies
Harley Bodies, are mindless drones in Poppy Playtime: Chapter 4. They act as expendable extensions of Harley Sawyer’s will. With TV-headed designs, robotic limbs, and marionette-like wires, these clones patrol Safe Haven in tattered cloaks. Their eyes flash yellow-to-red when Sawyer hijacks them trying to attack you. Devoid of any personality, they only serve as ambush puppets. Though eerie in numbers, they are quite predictable thus reducing them to only being mechanical obstacles.
Mini Huggies
Mini Critters, including Smiling Critters and Mini Huggies, appear on multiple occasions and express the tragic innocence in Poppy Playtime: Chapter 4. With the appearance of childlike toys craving parental care, their wide-eyed vulnerability contrasts the factory’s horrors. Though non-threatening, their presence adds a level of emotional depth to the plot.
Ollie
Ollie is a mysterious voice that guides you through Chapter 4. His upbeat voice and apparent empathy for Playtime Co.’s victims hide a shocking twist, that he is The Prototype, manipulating you and Poppy to reclaim control. While initially framed as a beacon of hope, Ollie’s true identity amplifies the narrative’s themes of illusion leading to the next chapter of Poppy Playtime.
Riley
The initial corpse carrying the Key inside its stomach is later revealed to be Riley. Riley is a bigger body, who was trapped and wished to meet her parents, but eventually died trying to fulfill that wish.
Barry
Barry, originally a yellow-and-turquoise cart in Poppy Playtime, initially served as a momentum-powered tool, smashing through barricades in Cart Corridors. Designed with headlight eyes and carries toys like Bron and Candy Cat. In the Safe Haven DLC, you can find Barry’s corrupted form with a cracked red shell, dead lights, and carrying a corpse in the cart hints at tragedy tied to Playtime Co.
