In all the best Horror games we've tried, the spooks and thrills often depend on the creatures, people, or beings that antagonize you. Poppy Playtime is filled with what seem like cute, cuddly toys but are actually your worst nightmare. Meet all the characters below!
The information is up to date to the Poppy Playtime Chapter 4 DLC Safe Haven!
All Characters in Poppy Playtime
Huggy Wuggy

Huggy Wuggy is by far the most popular of the monstrous toys in Poppy Playtime. He is a blue, furry being with long limbs, velcro used to attach his hands together, black beady eyes, and bright cartoon-styled lips. Though he may seem cheerful and cuddly, Huggy is one of the most aggressive toys who, with his demented grin, reveals an array of razor sharp-teeth that he uses against his victims.
Kissy Missy

Kissy Missy is Huggy Wuggy's perfect counterpart. She looks almost exactly the same as Huggy Wuggy but with bright pink fur and long eyelashes. Like Huggy Wuggy, she is known to be aggressive and shares his razor-like teeth. However, she is known more as a supporting, ally character to Huggy than her own main antagonist.
Boogie Bot

Boogie Bot is a short green robot toy with conveyors for legs and feet and robotic clasps for hands. He is a seemingly fun toy for kids that enjoy playing music and dancing. He can only play sound from the speaker located on his chest rather than having a mouth. He doesn't have any major appearances during the game and works more as a minor counterpart.
Cat-Bee

Cat-Bee is a hybrid of a cat and bee, as seen with yellow and black stripes, black antennae, and small wings on a cat's body. Players are required to assemble one during the experience as a way to escape. The Cat-Bee is a creepily cheerful toy whose voice lines suggest a much darker undertone.
Candy Cat

Candy Cat is a plump cat of sky blue color, with small beady black eyes and an elongated pink tongue of exaggerated size. Candy Cat is known to love eating, particularly sweet treats, and encourages kids to eat sweets along with her. However, her gluttony takes a dark turn during the story and is seemingly the cause of her death.
Bron

Bron is a bright red dinosaur with a yellow underbelly. He is known to be a hard worker, always encouraging and putting 100% into any task he undertakes. He likes to make jokes and puns about his fellow dinosaur species, and you can expect his ambitious spirit to carry over to his aggression as well.
Poppy Playtime

Poppy Playtime is a doll with curly red hair tied up with blue ribbons that match her flowing blue dress. Since the game shares his name, you can expect she is a major part of the story and, as such, is the most interactive and human-like toy of them all. Although she is an ally to the player after they rescue her, her personality isn't as kind and bubbly as she appears. Her dark motives are gradually seen as you progress through the story and become darker and emotionless.
Mommy Long Legs

Mommy Long Legs is a spider-like toy with long winding limbs and pinkish skin. Her limbs are known to stretch at extreme lengths, reaching her prey no matter how far they are. She lures her victims in with her bright, playful spirit, inviting them to play games with her and promising great rewards. However, players quickly find that her charm is not all that it seems as her grin slowly turns to a scowl, and her threats to follow the rules become more dire.
Bunzo Bunny

Bunzo Bunny is a rabbit-like creature with clown features, such as bright pink cheeks and makeup. He wears green suspenders and a matching birthday hat and bangs together some cymbals in his hands. He helps celebrate kids' birthdays, as noted by his constant Happy Birthday wishes. As he turns aggressive, you can notice his bucked teeth start to turn to sharp fangs instead.
Mini Huggies

The Mini Huggies are small versions of Huggy Wuggy with the same features of furry and long velcro limbs. However, they are in various colors: green, yellow, and red, as well as Huggy's blue. They are always seen together, whether posing playfully or in their attacks. They share Huggy's aggressive attitude.
PJ Pug-a-Pillar

PJ Pug-a-Pillar is a hybrid of a Pug dog and caterpillar, with a long body, pointy slippers, and a pug-like face. He has bright, wooly fur of blue and purple around his body. PJ is not one of the main antagonists but, even as a minor counterpart, is known for his speed and jumpscares.
Daisy

Daisy is a slender, flower-like toy, appearing like a daisy flower as she is named. She was meant to be a Rejected toy due to being "too scary for kids," however, she becomes more widely known than the rest. She was meant to be a more important character in the experience but was later replaced by Bunzo Bunny.
Boxy Boo

Boxy Boo is a jack-in-the-box type toy with feet that can also pop out with springs along with his upper half. Because of this, he is extremely fast and agile, capable of bouncing up to high heights and reaching unexpected victims. He is also able to blend in with his surroundings by closing up into his box and hiding in plain sight amongst other toys.
CatNap

CatNap, aka Experiment 1188, is one of the most notorious of the Smiling Critters you will encounter during Chapter 3: Deep Sleep. He was created originally as a gatekeeper for the Home Sweet Home Facility, where they were holding children captive to run experiments. He used a non-lethal dosage of Poppy Gas in his respiratory system, causing one child in particular, Marie Payne, to have traumatic nightmares. This seemingly innocent kitty cat will double in size, towering over you with its Cheshire grin.
DogDay

DogDay was created as the leader of the Smiling Critters and is symbolized by the sun pendant over his chest. He is known to be the bright, optimistic personality of the bunch, but he took a dark turn, becoming a manic mess like the others and forming a weird addiction to CatNap's Poppy Gas despite being constantly at odds with them.
Bubba Bubbaphant

Bubba Bubbaphant is the brains of the Smiling Critters, keeping his friends in line and coming up with all the best ideas. His intelligence turns sinister, however, when he is the one who suggests that CatNap use their Poppy Gas to help with their fear, and ultimately leads to their insanity.
Bobby BearHug

Bobby BearHug has a big heart, as shown by her heart pendant. Very similar to Poppy, she was depicted to be a compassionate and caring character, always trying to help her Smiling Critter friends and be the peacemaker for any fights. Her compassion also makes her naive, allowing others to use her to their advantage, which is why she follows the other Smiling Critters so easily down the wrong path. You won't want a hug from her now.
CraftyCorn

CraftyCorn is the artist of the Smiling Critters, adoring everything bright and colorful, which is what her rainbow pendant represents. Despite seeming like a passionate and creative soul, she is perhaps one of the group's most timid and often overshadowed by the others.
Hoppy Hopscotch

Hoppy Hopscotch is the loud, energetic, Smiling Critter, constantly bouncing around with energy. Her energy helped her excel at things that she loved, like sports, but it also led to her being somewhat bossy and impatient. You can count on her showing up to push the others along if things are getting done to her liking.
KickinChicken

KickinChicken is the 'cool critter' of the Smiling Critters and is meant to be the most level-headed and resilient. He cares about his image more than anything else and is often seen performing stunts and activities that will give him the attention he craves. Despite trying to prove he is fearless, he still shows a fear of wind like the other Critters and falls prey to the same darkness.
PickyPiggy

PickyPiggy, despite being depicted as a pig critter, is meant to be the nutritionist of the group, constantly ensuring the critters keep a well-balanced and healthy diet. However, she secretly indulges herself with her favorite unhealthy foods, like PB&J's and cheeseburgers. She is one of the critters who eagerly begged CatNap for the Poppy Gas, agreeing with Bubbaphant's original plan.
Miss Delight

Miss Delight is one of the more mysterious characters in Chapter 3, and players will rarely even get a good glimpse of her until she is right on top of them. She lingers in the darkness, only moving as the lights flicker, and unfortunately, cannot be stopped even when the player looks at her. She is shown in the light as a tall woman with blonde hair but a disturbing smile revealing puffy gums and teeth.
Doey the Doughman

Harley Sawyer

Dr. Harley Sawyer, "The Doctor" in Poppy Playtime: Chapter 4, is the mastermind behind Playtime Co.'s experiments. Once a respected researcher, his obsession with merging human consciousness with toys started Project Poppy and the Child Tester Program.

With a unique TV-headed design, these clones patrol Safe Haven in tattered cloaks, their eyes flashing yellow-to-red when Sawyer hijacks them to attack you. You'll encounter lots of them when trying to obtain the Omni-Hand.
Yarnaby

Yarnaby, a lion-like animatronic in Poppy Playtime: Chapter 4, is one of the first grotesque horrors you will encounter. With the distinct appearance of a lion with a colorful mane, Yarnaby hunts you through the corridors of the factory, till you reach the Safe Haven, Yarnaby can be quite dangerous to deal with, but later he dies in fire.
Ollie

Ollie is a mysterious female voice that guides you through the Chapter 4 DLC. Ollie plays an important role in guiding you through the various missions and even helps you repair the generator of Safe Haven. Later the true identity of Ollie is revealed as The Prototype, manipulating both you and Poppy to reclaim control.
Pianosaurus

Pianosaurus, a velociraptor-like toy in Poppy Playtime: Chapter 4, with a unique piano-shaped maw, remains dormant until provoked. You'll encounter him while making your way through the corridors of the Factory, and fall in front of him. Despite the intimidating appearance, he is promptly Doey just before it can attack you.
Nightmare Critters

The Nightmare Critters are a line of animal plushies by Playtime Co. that you can easily recognize by their open mouths and toothy smiles, unlike the Smiling Critters. In Chapter 4: Safe Haven, these small, miniature versions contrast sharply with their positive, light-hearted counterparts and attack you while you try to complete objectives in the Playtime Factory.
Baba Chops

Baba Chops, the second pet of The Doctor after Yarnaby in Poppy Playtime: Chapter 4, is Harley Sawyer’s loyal companion who ambushes you in the maze area. Though terrifying, it is commanded to retreat you are forced to kill a mini critter. It has a feral design, with a black sheep-like appearance, and might make a comeback in the next Chapter.
