	— Dialogue found in the Alpha Trailer

Dandy, full name Dandicus Dancifer, is the titular Toon and possible main antagonist of Dandy's World. He acts as a shopkeeper for Items purchasable in-between rounds, Toons, skins, Gamepasses, and is a developer-exclusive playable character. He is also playable in Roleplay Mode as both a Toon, and a Twisted.

Appearance

Dandy is a flower-like fictional species. His most defining features are his petals, having six that are individually red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, in a clockwise order, with red being at the very top of his head. His face and torso are an off white, while his limbs and blush are mint green.

Personality

On the surface, Dandy seems to be a kind, responsible and bright Toon, but also suspicious and harboring darker secrets.

Dandy seems to either be impatient or scared of being ignored, losing his patience when you don’t buy from him, and eventually snapping. Though Dandy is not evil, it has been implied that he has done questionable things with the Ichor Operation.

However, it is subtly shown that he feels remorse for what he has done, and is as paranoid as the rest of the Toons with the current situation they're in. Dandy stays silent and says nothing other than "..." when you buy Astro, which implies he may feel remorse for his Twisted counterpart reveal. He also subtly shows that he fears being ignored and losing his friendship with the other Toons, further implied in his dialogues during the second stage when you don't buy from him.

Yet, he tries to cover most of it up by acting like nothing happened after encountering his Twisted counterpart, trying to keep up his cheerful act.

Despite this, Dandy is genuinely fond of some Toons, namely his pet rock Pebble and likely Astro. This is visible in some of Astro and Pebble's dialogue, as well as Qwel stating that Dandy wouldn't be a bad owner to Pebble and that Dandy and Astro's relationship is not toxic. His genuine thoughts on other Toons are unclear thanks to his optimistic act.

Overall, Dandy is a morally gray Toon that is hiding lots of secrets, but tries to hide it behind a more prideful and cheerful facade.

Gameplay

Dandy is a shopkeeper NPC who helps the Toons by selling Items to help them descend to the next floor. He always appears on even-numbered floors before the elevator opens and sells 3 random Items. Some Items can only be obtained through his shop while some can also appear on floors. However, if the Toons don't buy his items, he starts to get frustrated and will have a chance turn into his Twisted form after being ignored 3 times, being near guaranteed on the 4th time you ignore him. After his Twisted form appears, he will go back to normal.

Dandy can also be seen in the lobby. When interacted with, his shop opens. In his shop, he sells Toons, Trinkets and skins for Ichor. There is also an option in his shop for Gamepasses, which can be bought with Robux.

Trivia

• Dandy's full name is Dandicus Dancifer, according to one of the loading screens, an interaction between Teagan and Pebble, and an in-game ad for Dandy's Petals.
  • The aforementioned interaction between characters only reveals Dandy's full first name, however.
• Dandy's designation is L-001 with the L standing most likely for Lethal.
• It is implied that Astro and Dandy were childhood friends, and possibly still are friends, but slowly distanced from each other after a while.
  • In Astro's interaction with Teagan, Astro says that he doesn't talk to Dandy as much anymore.
  • In a 1988 photo, Dandy and Astro seem to have been friends for a long time since childhood.
  • There is another secret picture found in the official merchandise website that shows Dandy and Astro looking at the stars in the past Gardenview lobby before it was decorated and opened.
• It is implied that Dandy tries to ignore the other Main Characters (mainly Vee and Sprout) except for Astro and Pebble.
  • Astro's interactions with Teagan, where Teagan asks if Astro still talks to him, implies that Dandy would talk to Astro.
  • Dandy ignoring the others is also implied in one of Vee's and Sprout's interactions, where Vee says that she tries to argue with Dandy, but he ignores her when she does, and Sprout replies that Dandy does the same to him. Vee then replies, "Yeah but he'll talk with-" which is most likely referring to Astro.
    • Dandy making sarcastic remarks when buying Shelly, Sprout, and Vee also implies this.
  • Similarly, in the teaser of the Christmas lobby version of Dandy's Store Vee's plush is knocked over, expressing how Vee and Dandy dislike each other.
• It is confirmed by Qwelver that Dandy is not purely evil, but is rather morally grey.
• Dandy exists as a developer-exclusive character internally for testing.
  • Dandy is confirmed to never be a public playable character in the future.
• Dandy was actually an OC of Qwelver made back in 2021, before being turned into the titular character of Dandy's World and a toon.
• The older model of Dandy had his eyes pushed back in his head, making them hollow. This would mean he would directly stare at the player.
• Dandy was the first character to get an UGC, it being Dandy's Petals.
• Dandy's hands will start to twitch as he grows frustrated with the player.
• Dandy in the Dandy's Store will usually make positive remarks about the Toons bought from him. For five Toons, four of which are Main Characters, buying the Toons for Sprout, Vee, Astro, Shelly, and Shrimpo will either cause Dandy to decline to comment or make a sarcastic remark about the Toon bought.
  • Pebble is the only Main Character to not be mentioned in the trait. This is due to him being his pet.
• Dandy is often depicted and joked about as being short, as seen in doodles by Qwelver and the fact he stands/sits on boxes in his shop to be seen.
  • This could be because his model would not be tall enough for the player to see him over the counter if he was standing.
• Dandy, as mentioned by Qwelver, is not actually a dandelion, contrary to popular belief. The name "Dandy" is actually a reference to the word dandy, meaning "an excellent thing of it's kind."
• According to Qwel, Dandy would be a 'little theft of baked goods' when it comes to Cosmo and Sprout's work.
• Dandy and Bobette have chubbier body types compared to other Toons. It may be harder to spot the former due to his green petal covering his body.
• Dandy, Sprout, Astro, and Shelly are the only Toons to have their full renders shown.
  • According to Qwelver, the full renders are not meant to be shown to the public and only to staff.
• Dandy has a taste for classical music, his favourite potentially being 'Clair de Lune', as said by Qwel during the 2025 New Years stream.
  • 'Clair de Lune' is also the song that plays when Twisted Dandy spawns on a floor, in Dandy's Shop, and occasionally in Dandy's Store.
• It is briefly implied that Astro has seen Dandy's twisted form in the requirements to purchase Astro.
