- This is the main article for Twisteds. For the category, see Category:Twisteds.
Twisteds are the names for the antagonists of Dandy's World. They are corrupted versions of Toons, disfigured by Ichor. Their primary objective is to kill the players/toons.
Behaviour
The icon that appears indicating when a Twisted spots a Toon
The icon that appears indicating when a twisted loses sight and/or focus on you
Every round will begin with a base of two Twisteds per floor, this amount increasing depending on the number of floors reached and the number of players remaining.
If a skill check is failed, a Twisted will run to it and check up on it. 
Twisted Astro, however, will run to the machine and drain progress.
Twisteds are split into five rarities, each weighted differently depending on the floor number: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Main Character, and Lethal.
- Common Twisteds possess no special abilities and usually possess stats reflecting the statistical build of their Toon counterpart.
- Uncommon Twisteds typically possess special abilities, but none pose a direct threat to the player, instead providing more of a subtle threat that changes how the player interacts with the floor, such as
Twisted Brightney being able to increase the chances of a blackout, or Twisted Razzle & Dazzle affecting how you traverse the floor. - Rare Twisteds possess special abilities that pose a direct threat to the player, such as Twisted Goob and Twisted Scraps’ long ranged attack. Rare Twisteds such as Twisted Flutter have an abnormally high detection range, and/or speed that will affect the player drastically.
- Main Character Twisteds are unique threats that interact with the player in unusual ways, usually completely changing the floor's progression strategy. Oftentimes, if uncareful or unprepared, floors containing these Twisteds can lead to the demises of many players in the round due to their adverse abilities. Many Mains have secondary or tertiary abilities, such as Twisted Astro and Twisted Vee, who will also affect machine completion; if you fail a skill check, Twisted Astro will drain half of the failed machine's completion whilst Vee will block your screen and hone in on your location.
- There is only one Lethal Twisted as of now, that being Twisted Dandy. Lethal Twisteds are only available by completing (or failing to complete) certain tasks in a round, and have the ability to kill the player in one attack regardless of current health. The only current Lethal Twisted's appearance is if for at least four appearances in a round, you don't buy from Dandy's Shop. This will lead to Dandy being agitated with the Player. After at least four appearances of Dandy's Shop in a row with no buying, Dandy will appear. Going back to Lethal Twisteds, they are often compared to Mains in that they have similarly bizarre mechanics while also (in Dandy's case) being "Main Characters" of the Dandy's World TV Show.
Most Twisteds roam the halls of the various floors of the Gardenview Center, wandering aimlessly. Twisteds (with few exceptions) will pause for about 2s when reaching a dead end in their pathing before turning around. Upon spotting a player, they will begin a chase. Chases will end if the player is able to remain out of sight for long enough, usually by hiding behind obstructions (except Machines, which do not block Line of Sight), or if the Twisted successfully attacks the player by coming into contact with them. A successful attack will normally result in one 
worth of damage (the only exception being Twisted Dandy), and the Twisted will pause for around 3 seconds (excluding Twisted Flutter and most Mains), giving the player ample time to run away. Any other Twisteds chasing the Toon will still pursue the player, so you must make distance to completely be safe. Roaming Twisteds will be alerted by failed Skill Checks and, if nearby, will run towards the source of the noise (Twisted Vee and Twisted Dandy are exceptions; if they are roaming, they will come no matter where they currently are on the floor). They will not exhibit this behaviour if they are in a chase when a Skill Check is failed.
All roaming Twisteds have their own stats relating to speed (either in a chase or while roaming), detection range (reliant on the player's Stealth stat), and attention span (how long they remain in chase when the player is out of line of sight).
Some Twisteds are special, requiring activation to attack players. These kinds of Twisteds can be stationary or may roam around. There are currently only 4 Twisteds that exhibit this behaviour, 2 of which are stationary, 1 which roams around, and 1 that exhibits both behaviours, but only attacks while stationary. The best way to avoid getting attacked by these Twisteds is tracking where they are and what the traps look like. The exception to this rule is 
Twisted Glisten, which needs someone to stay nearby to not get activated (unless it is currently Panic Mode)
A random Twisted will appear on the Daily Twisted Board at 12am GMT and for 24 hours will have a higher chance to appear during the game. This Twisted cannot be Common or Lethal, but can be event-exclusive as long as their event is ongoing. This can be helpful for obtaining research on a specific Twisted, or be disadvantageous when it is dangerous and unwanted. Note that previous days do not affect what will be on the board in future days
When the player initiates a chase or encounters a trap Twisted, it will provide them with five Tapes and increase their Research progress with that particular Twisted by 5% (10% if playing as 
Rodger). This can only be done once per floor, so if you get chased by a Twisted more than once on a floor, you will only get 5% research for one encounter. If you get chased by the same Twisted again on another floor, it will count and add research progress

Twisted Amount Scaling Per Floor
As players progress through Floors, the number of Twisteds that appear gradually increases, starting at two and capping at six. The number of Twisteds that appear is determined by the floor and number of players in the elevator when the room is generated

Twisted Descriptions
Twisted Boxten
Twisted Boxten is a roaming Twisted that possesses no special abilities, the same as 
Twisted Poppy and 
Twisted Cosmo. Reflecting his average counterpart, his speed, detection range, and attention span are all average.
Just like other Common Twisteds, you should try to get away from his sight if he spots you. Try to preserve 40-70 stamina to outrun Twisted Boxten, especially on later floors where you get chased constantly; running out of stamina will make you vulnerable to him and may get you killed.
Twisted Cosmo
Twisted Cosmo is a roaming Twisted that possesses no special abilities, the same as Twisted Boxten and Twisted Poppy.
Just like other Commons, try to get out of his sight if he sees you, and preserve some stamina in case he spots you.
Twisted Poppy
Twisted Poppy is a roaming Twisted that possesses no special abilities, the same as Twisted Boxten and Twisted Cosmo. Reflecting her average counterpart, her speed, detection range, and attention span are all average.
Just like other Common Twisteds, try to get out of her sight and preserve some stamina if she spots you.
Twisted Looey
Twisted Looey is a roaming Twisted that has higher than average detection range and higher attention span due to his height. Stay further away from this Twisted than other Commons.
Unlike other Common Twisteds, you should preserve more stamina if he sees you to get further away from him and hide or escape.
Twisted Shrimpo
Twisted Shrimpo is slower than the other Twisteds, but because of this, his attention span is higher. He'll chase you for longer even if you're out of his sight. Try to outrun him as long as you can and get far from his range.
Just like other Common Twisteds, preserve at least 30-60 stamina to get behind an object in time. You may have to loop around.
Twisted Tisha
Twisted Tisha is a roaming Twisted that possesses no special abilities, yet has a small gimmick. She acts just like the average Twisted, but the difference is that she can idle around areas. This means she can camp machines and could be somewhat annoying in runs where there are no Distractors, or if you're playing solo.
Just like other Common Twisteds, you want to preserve some stamina and watch out for her. Try to get out of her sight. If she is idling near a machine, you can try to catch her attention and lead her into a different area or wait for her to move on.
Twisted Yatta
Twisted Yatta is a roaming Twisted that possesses no special abilities, but has significantly more chasing speed than other Common Twisteds, similar to her Toon counterpart. Preserve some stamina in case she sees you, as her high speed can get you killed if you don’t have resources.
Uncommon Twisteds have a spawn rate of 25 on a given floor.
Twisted Brightney
Twisted Brightney is a roaming Twisted easily made visible by her red glow, which can be seen even through walls. Reflecting her luminous counterpart, her special ability increases the chance of a Blackout occurring on any floor she appears on by re-rolling the blackout chance once if one does not occur.
Other than that, if no Blackouts happen, you can more easily hide due to her bright light showing where she is. If she does cause a Blackout (or a Blackout does coincidentally happen when she is here), you can use her light to identify where you should go. If you see it move quickly, she might be chasing someone or heading to a failed machine. Try to help if the former.
Twisted Connie
Twisted Connie starts out as a friendly blue apparition, slowly moving from a point of the map to a random Machine. Once reaching a machine, she will possess it, and if said machine is completed, the light will change from green to red. Although she can possess uncompleted machines as well. Once she's about to leave (presumably after 10 seconds), the machine's light will flash blue, and she will pop out of the machine. Interacting with the machine while she's possessing it will have her pop out prematurely and deal a of damage to the player.
You can freely get Research and Tapes from her without activating her, but if she’s on a floor, look at the handlebars of every machine to see if it’s in a “Y” shape, or if the light is glowing blue. If either, Twisted Connie is in that machine, and it is recommended to wait it out instead of taking a hit to make her leave.
Twisted Finn
Twisted Finn is a roaming Twisted who is easier to track due to the trail of Ichor behind him. When finishing a machine on the same floor as this Twisted, you gain 
Slow III for 6 seconds. It's best noted you finish the machine closest to the elevator last, as Slow III can be deadly during Panic Mode, because it might take you longer to get to the elevator safely. Using speed items and priming machines are great ways to negate this, so try to get as many as you can.
Finn can be dangerous under the right circumstances. If there is another fast Twisted or if you’re a slow Toon, this debuff can put you in heavy danger, especially when you missed a Skill Check right before or if you’re out in the open. Also, when given the Slow III debuff, you won't be able to outrun or outwalk any Twisted, even if you're playing as 
Pebble.
Twisted Razzle & Dazzle
Twisted Razzle & Dazzle are a pair of fused-together, stationary Twisteds that will spawn in a random location on a floor, sitting in an idle state encircled by red, vine-like tendrils. While they are in this idle state, they are harmless and the player can freely walk within their circle, even venturing as close as they'd like to the sitting Twisteds. If a player runs within the circle, their hostile state will activate. Upon spotting a player, they will cause vines to shoot up from the ground underneath the player, stabbing at their feet and causing one worth of damage. If 15 seconds pass without a player entering the circle during their hostile state, they will return to their idle position.
Twisted Razzle & Dazzle requires line of sight with the player to deal damage, so any object or wall between them and the player will prevent them from attacking. However, they do not require line of sight to become hostile, and they will remain hostile for a couple of seconds until they return to their idle state once again. Triggering their hostile state without being in their line of sight does not give Tapes - you must be in their line of sight while they are in their hostile state for any period of time to be awarded Tapes. If you are in their line of sight while they are hostile, you can quickly exit the circle or break line of sight without taking damage.
It is very easy to identify and be cautious when Twisted Razzle and Dazzle’s circle is nearby. You might be tempted to run if the circle sticks out of a wall, but doing so is likely to put someone else in danger. This can also become a problem if you’re being chased in their circle. Make sure that nobody (including you) will get hurt, then sprint away, safely leaving you and your teammates unharmed. If there is someone else who isn’t aware and safe, try to find islands and use speed items to avoid putting your teammates in danger.
Additionally, you should also be aware if someone else sprints in the circle, where you will take a hit. Warn others if you’re doing a machine in the circle, and make sure that you can hide or escape in time.
Twisted Rodger
Twisted Rodger is a stationary Twisted that will spawn in a random location on a floor. Reflecting the investigative nature of his counterpart, he disguises himself as a fake Research Capsule to trick players into activating him. Upon player interaction with this fake Research Capsule, the player will have the 
Confused III and Slow III debuffs applied to them, and Twisted Rodger will spawn out of the ground and begin charging an attack from his magnifying glass eye. After a short charge time, he will shoot a beam from his eye and inflict one worth of damage to the player. If he does not spot a player for several seconds, he will sink back into the ground and become a fake Research Capsule once again. Like Twisted Razzle & Dazzle, he requires line of sight to attack the player. His attack is also easy to outrange, which will also cause him to lose interest.
Twisted Rodger's fake Research Capsule can be easily distinguished from a real Research Capsule. If there is nothing in the middle of the capsule or if there are no film strips on the capsule, it is fake. If there are film strips wrapped around the center, it is real. There can only be one fake Research Capsule per floor. If you interact with the fake capsule, immediately sprint and get behind something to avoid the attack. Not sprinting will most likely not let you escape in time. If someone else picks it up, you will not be inflicted with the slowness debuff, so run away. You do not need to hide behind an object. If possible, try continuously getting in and out of his range as a lower Stealth Toon to save your teammate without taking a hit.
Twisted Teagan
Twisted Teagan is a roaming Twisted similar to other Twisteds who wander the halls aimlessly. Reflecting her Toon counterpart's ability, she will steal a fourth or an eighth of your Tapes depending on how many you have when she hits you, while also being slightly faster than the average Twisted.
She doesn’t pose much of a threat, but the additional Tape loss can be bad if 
Dandy sells a useful item. If you are playing as 
Sprout, be extra careful to not lose Tapes to her, as you can end up losing your chance to heal a critically injured teammate.
Twisted Toodles
Walking Twisted Toodles (When not chasing a player)
Twisted Toodles is a roaming Twisted that possesses no special abilities. Reflecting her childish counterpart, her attention span is weak, and she can easily lose track of the player. However, she is the third fastest Twisted in the game alongside 
Twisted Shelly and easily one of the biggest threats on any floor. Before update 0.2.0, Toodles was originally a common Twisted.
Make sure to preserve at least 90 stamina so you can run behind an object. Usually if you get behind an object and if she is an okay distance away, you will lose her easily. If you are slow and low on stamina, use items to escape quickly.
Rare Twisteds have a spawn rate of 8 on a given floor.
Twisted Blot
One of Twisted Blot's hands
Twisted Blot is a stationary Rare Twisted who summons large ichor arms.
Twisted Blot will lay stationary in one spot on the map randomly, he is passive and will not attack the player. However, he summons 2 Ichor hands around the map that attack any Toons nearby.
Once in a while, Twisted Blot will fall asleep for around 10 seconds and move the locations of his placed Ichor hands.
Twisted Flutter
Twisted Flutter is a fast Rare Twisted who hunts down Toons similar to Twisted Toodles. If you see this Twisted, get out of her sight, as her roaming speed is the same as her chasing speed.
While Twisted Flutter has an attention span similar to Twisted Toodles, she makes up for this with the ability to target a player even if the player isn’t in her line of sight. So, with this in mind, it’s important to stay as far away from her as possible, even if she isn’t facing your direction.
Twisted Flutter has the unique ability to not pause while roaming like other Twisteds will. Another thing is that after she attacks, she will not stop. The only way to get her to stop moving is to use the 
Blushy Bat Trinket.
Always try to hide on the direct opposite of an object from her, as she otherwise may catch you. Even if you are further away from her, but still in the same room, try to get behind a wall or island.
Twisted Gigi
Twisted Gigi in-game
Twisted Gigi is a medium-sized, roaming Twisted that has a similar ranged ability to that of 
Twisted Goob and 
Twisted Scraps. However, Twisted Gigi has the ability to take your items from you when she attacks, and her ranged attack does not do damage. She takes your items from your slots in the order they're listed (1, 2, 3). If you do not have any items on hand, she will not use her ranged attack and will only attack when you get too close. This Twisted's speed is similar to that of Twisted Astro, so it's advised to avoid Twisted Gigi, whether she steals your important items or not.
This Twisted can be a big hazard if you have good items. She can steal items that help you escape in an emergency or complete a machine quickly, or even a healing item. Always have a trash item in your first inventory slot to act as a meat shield for your actually important items. If she sees you, break line of sight if you have good items, as she can’t steal without line of sight. Then run away and hide to lose her.
Twisted Glisten
Twisted Glisten has a meter above his head while he is roaming aimlessly around the map. The meter gradually increases when a Toon is not near him for a certain period of time. (specifically 70 seconds.) When the meter is full or when Panic Mode activates, Twisted Glisten will become extremely fast and aggressive with no possible way to decrease the meter whatsoever. When Twisted Glisten is angered, he will not stop moving and is almost as fast as 
Twisted Pebble, making him the second fastest Twisted in the game. (After Twisted Pebble). He does not beeline for the players, but instead roams around like a normal Twisted.
It is recommended to have someone without a currently needed role to “babysit” Twisted Glisten. Following him around and occasionally leave him for a few moments to not have Twisteds chase you. Don’t leave him too long, or he will become angered. Remind everyone to tell you when to abandon him if you play this role as his state in panic mode can easily kill you if you are not prepared to run away. If he gets aggravated before Panic Mode, always hide when he is near, or you'll get caught.
Twisted Goob
Twisted Goob's ability
Twisted Goob is a roaming Twisted that wanders the halls aimlessly. Reflecting his arm-stretching counterpart, his special ability allows him to grab the players from range and drag them in to deal one worth of contact damage, with a cooldown of 10 seconds. Much like every other Twisteds' attacks, his ability requires line of sight with the player, and it will not drag the player toward him if it connects through objects.
Twisted Goob can end runs if there isn’t a distractor. His ability to pull Toons from great distances can waste the stamina you used to get somewhere, or pull you to other Twisteds, leaving you in even greater danger. If you can get out of line of sight fast enough, you’ll be fine. He stops when he attacks, making distracting him significantly harder than other Twisteds; So be on the lookout.
Twisted Scraps
Twisted Scraps is a roaming Twisted that wanders the halls aimlessly. Reflecting her 
tail-using counterpart, her special ability allows her to attack the player at range using her tail, dealing one heart's worth of damage, with a cooldown of 12 seconds.
Much like other Twisteds' attacks, her ability requires line of sight with the player and will not damage them if it connects through objects, barriers, and islands.
Main Character Twisteds have a unique spawn rate compared to the other Twisteds, which starts off very low and gets progressively higher as the floor count increases, making them practically guaranteed on runs with a high floor count. Main Character Twisteds cannot spawn before floor 5 (0.6.1). On special occasions, Main Character Twisteds are guaranteed to spawn, such as 
Twisted Bassie and 
Twisted Bobette on Floor 20 during the Easter Event and Christmas Event, respectively.
All Main Character Twisteds have unique sound effects associated with them, usually footsteps along with another ambient effect. This serves somewhat as a counter to the Main Character Twisteds, as it makes their position on the map apparent, even during Blackouts or before the elevator door opens. The closer the Main Character Twisted is to you, the louder their footsteps.
Refusing to buy from Dandy 3 or more times in a row decreases the chance for Mains to spawn.[2] Buying itself does not increase the spawn of Mains, but prevents their spawn chance from going down. Doing so also makes sure 
Twisted Dandy is not added to the pool of Twisteds that can spawn, which would lower their chances even further.
Twisted Astro
Boxten being chased by Twisted Astro
Twisted Astro is a large, roaming Twisted that wanders the halls aimlessly. Reflecting his 
support-oriented counterpart, his unique ability allows him to regress machine progress if he is alerted by a missed Skill Check. Twisted Astro will drain about half the current progress of the machine, meaning he'll have a small effect on barely completed machines and a big one if it's almost completed. Twisted Astro will also give the 
Tired III debuff if you are being chased by him, which causes your stamina regeneration to decrease drastically. Along with his draining ability, he has above-average speed and detection range, paired with a long attention span.
Twisted Astro has soft-sounding footsteps and an ethereal, space-like ambience emanating from him. This can make him the hardest Main Character to immediately detect.
A machine before and after Twisted Astro's drain
Due to his Tired III debuff that he can inflict when chasing someone, you want Toons with high movement speed like 
Tisha, Pebble, or 
Goob to distract him, as they won't be using their stamina much compared to other Toons when distracting. Try to avoid him when playing low movement speed Toons like 
Vee, 
Rodger, Scraps, or even 
Shrimpo, as you can easily consume all your stamina; Speed or Stamina items can be very helpful against this debuff.
Twisted Pebble
Twisted Pebble is a massive, roaming dog that growls loudly around the halls aimlessly, being the fastest Twisted, with Twisted Glisten and Twisted Bobette being very close behind. His attention span is quite modest, which makes him easy to lose if the player is able to break line of sight before he catches up. He has extremely fast speed and is very hard to get away from if he spots you in bad terrain or gets close and you have average mobility. Because of his high speed, Twisted Pebble is extremely dangerous and should be avoided if possible.
Twisted Pebble produces loud, thundering footsteps and feral noises when roaming or chasing.
Slower Toons should not dare get chased, easily being outran or being barely faster. Stay behind cover if he's fairly close and maintain knowledge on his location to prevent deaths.
Toons with 2
Movement Speed can BARELY outrun Twisted Pebble before Panic Mode, and they need to be sprinting while equipping both 
Speedy Shoes and 
Pink Bow. Even then, they will only be 0.2 speed faster than Twisted Pebble, which means that Twisted Pebble can very easily catch up when the Toon is not running in a perfectly straight line. Toons with 1 Star Movement Speed, however, cannot outrun Twisted Pebble without items, even if Pink Bow and 
Ribbon Spool are being used.
Twisted Vee
Twisted Vee is a large, roaming Twisted that wanders the halls aimlessly. Reflecting her media personality counterpart, her unique ability allows her to bombard players with pop-up advertisements, which need to be closed by clicking the red "X" button in the top right corner of the pop-up window, otherwise, they block the view of the player's screen. She will send these pop-up ads to all players upon entering a floor and every 45 seconds afterwards in groups of three. If you don't close the pop-up ads, they will disappear a bit before the next batch. They pose no direct threat besides their tendency to cover Skill Checks. She will also send a single pop-up ad and inflict the Slow II debuff to a player she has spotted before beginning a chase, though they are still relatively harmless and pose no threat beyond their ability to block the player's vision. The Slow II debuff she creates can make her hard to escape, and her usage of it makes it significantly harder for any Toons to attempt the strategy of distracting her.
In addition to pop-ups, she possesses a second unique ability. If a player fails a Skill Check, she will run as if she is in a chase to the source of that failed Skill Check from anywhere on the floor.
Vee's footsteps are mechanical in nature. She will additionally make agitated electronic noises when spotting a player. Vee's footsteps also leave a trail of Ichor.
Twisted Shelly
Twisted Shelly chasing Shelly
Twisted Shelly Walking
Twisted Shelly is a medium-sized, roaming Twisted that applies the Confused I debuff to all players on the floor she resides in, such that Extraction Speed is reduced by 25% whenever she is on a floor. Reflecting her archaeologist counterpart, Twisted Shelly's body is shaped like a theropod, and she has a high running speed similar to that of Twisted Toodles, making her a big threat on any floor she's located in. It is next-to-impossible to outwalk her without Trinkets due to her running speed. However, her attention span is rather low compared to the other Main Twisteds, being the same as Twisted Shrimpo's attention span.
Twisted Shelly's footsteps sound very similar to Twisted Vee's footsteps, although more spaced out like Twisted Pebble's footsteps.
Twisted Sprout
Twisted Sprout chasing Sprout
Twisted Sprout is a very large, roaming main Twisted that wanders the halls aimlessly. He spawns a large puddle of Ichor with a tendril below when spotting a Toon. When he spots you, he will scream loudly as the tendrils appear from the ground, giving a warning that he is about to attack. He will spawn the tendrils every 10 seconds, which linger for 15 seconds before they submerge. However, he has below-average speed, low attention span, and his tendrils are easy to dodge.
Twisted Sprout's footsteps are very crunchy sounding, like someone stepping on leaves. After every step he leaves a small puddle of Ichor that goes away seconds after.
Lethal Twisteds currently have a unique way of spawning, they need to be summoned instead of spawning of chance. They kill Toons in a single hit.
Like Main Twisteds, Lethal Twisteds have sound cues that help differentiate them from normal Twisteds.
When the conditions to spawn a Lethal Twisted are met, it adds the chance to the pool of Twisted chances, causing the chance of all other rarity's of Twisteds to fall.
Currently, there is only 1 Lethal Twisted, with it being Twisted Dandy.
Twisted Dandy
Twisted Dandy is a massive, dangerous, roaming Twisted that wanders the halls aimlessly. Reflecting his enigmatic counterpart, he has a unique spawning condition that must be met before he has a chance to spawn; Players must not buy any items from Dandy's Shop for at least three floors that he appears on. Each time every surviving player skips a shop, Dandy will become increasingly upset. Upon skipping the third shop, Dandy will become angry and Twisted Dandy will have a chance to spawn. On all subsequent shop players skip, this chance will increase; on the third time that you continue to ignore him, the music in his shop will stop playing, and Twisted Dandy is almost guaranteed to spawn on the next floor. Once this occurs (or a player purchases an item from his shop) he will go back to his cheerful self, and players must skip another three shops in order to have a chance at spawning Twisted Dandy again.
Twisted Dandy continuously emits the sound of a lullaby version of music box 'Clair de Lune', and he makes stomping noises as he walks. These sounds are loud enough that they can be used to determine his location and if he has spawned on a floor.
Twisted Dandy acts like a normal roaming Twisted with average detection range, but a very long attention span and Twisted Shrimpo's speed. However, any player he successfully attacks will be instantly killed, making him a uniquely grave threat on any floor he appears on. Twisted Dandy additionally has the ability to immediately beeline at full speed for machines when a Toon finishes a machine.
Twisted Dandy can kill the player in one hit, regardless of Trinkets and how many the player has, making him the only character in the Lethal category.
Event Twisteds are limited-time Twisteds that only spawn during their respective events. Currently, there are 8 Event Twisteds, 2 of each rarity. The only changes making the Event Twisteds different from their original rarity is their guaranteed spawns on the event floors.
Event Twisteds have the spawn rate of their respective rarities, but at least one is guaranteed to spawn every 5 floors during their respective events. Holiday Main Character Twisteds are guaranteed to spawn on Floor 20 during their respective events.
Twisted Rudie is a Common roaming Twisted who roams during the Christmas Event. He possesses no special abilities other than his red glowing nose.
Twisted Eggson is a Common roaming Twisted who roams during the Easter Event. He possesses no special abilities.
Twisted Ginger is an Uncommon roaming Twisted who roams during the Christmas Event. She is extremely slow but has a special gimmick of having a long attention span, that being 10 seconds.
Due to Twisted Ginger's long attention span, slower Toons with most of their Stamina used up may struggle successfully losing this Twisted's attention. It is recommended to find a spot that can constantly block Line of Sight to loop her around to help run down her lengthy attention span timer.
Twisted Flyte is an Uncommon roaming Twisted who roams during the Easter Event. He has the same gimmick as his sister, but moves slower.
Twisted Coal is a fast Rare Twisted who roams during the Christmas Event. Normally she is a slow Twisted, but during Blackouts she gains more detection range and speed, adding up to make her as fast and as dangerous as Twisted Pebble.
Twisted Cocoa is a Rare Twisted who roams during the Easter Event. She functions identically to Twisted Toodles, but with slightly shorter attention span, and faster chasing speed.
Due to Cocoa's very fast speed, 4 movement speed or lower Toons cannot outwalk her while being chased, even with 
Dog Plush and Speedy Shoes.
One of Bassie's flower traps on the floor
Twisted Bassie is a Main Character Twisted who roams during the Easter Event. If Bassie is on the floor, three flower traps will randomly generate around the map and will slow down any Toons near them.
Twisted Bassie produces creaky, floorboard-resembling footsteps, paired with the occasional sound of her distorted crying. The flowers they produce also make the distorted crying sound when walking near them.
Twisted Bobette is a Main Character Twisted who roams during the Christmas Event. Due to her purpose to craft toys, she is able to hear when Toons pick up an item not including Research Capsules, and will run over at extreme speeds.
Twisted Bobette produces plastic-like footsteps with a windy-snow ambience with soft sounds of bells jingling coming from her.
Similar to Twisted Pebble, slower Toons should try to stay away from her vision, easily being outran or being barely faster. Find a place to hide when she is near or run away to stay safe.

Trivia
- Almost all of the Twisteds bare mechanics or behaviours relate back to their Toon counterparts in some way:
- Twisted Toodles has a low attention span based on her description, which most likely comes from her age.
- Twisted Boxten and Twisted Poppy are acknowledged by their descriptions to be some of the most common encounters with easy to avoid mechanics, with the real Boxten and Poppy being the two beginner characters the player can choose from upon first starting the game. Both have simple mechanics and are very common in public servers.
- Twisted Brightney and Twisted Rudie give themselves away with their red light, much like how the actual Brightney's ability can expose the location of Twisteds during a Blackout. The former can additionally have a chance to cause a Blackout herself, whereas the regular Brightney's ability aids in dealing with Blackouts.
- Twisted Finn's mechanic, giving the player a slow debuff after completing a machine is a reference to his Toon counterpart which gives the player a speed buff when a machine is completed.
- Twisted Teagan steals Tapes from the Toons while her Toon counterpart needs to collect Tapes to heal themselves.
- Twisted Goob can pull Toons towards himself, and vice versa with Twisted Scraps (minus the movement), just like their playable counterparts.
- Twisted Flutter's agility and speed reflect her Toon counterpart that is fast and has an ability to dash quickly.
- Twisted Gigi can take items from your inventory, while her Toon counterpart's active ability grants a random item in your inventory.
- Twisted Razzle & Dazzle alternate between two different states, similarly to the playable's Comedy/Tragedy passive ability.
- Twisted Rodger's mimicry of a Research Capsule replicates the Toon counterpart's Detective passive ability which grants players more research, which applies to capsules.
- Twisted Shrimpo's slow speed and high persistence reflects Shrimpo's poor stats and playability. His demeanour, especially prominent in his "lost sight" animation, references Shrimpo's angry attitude, his Twisted form stomping on the ground in frustration when losing a chase. His mouth also appears to be sealed shut with Ichor, reflecting how his Toon counterpart constantly yells about how much he hates everything and everyone.
- Twisted Connie's ability to hide inside machines reflect how her Toon counterpart's allows her to become invisible and untargetable. She is also incredibly slow whilst mobile, alike to Connie's 1 movement speed.
- Twisted Ginger's slow speed and long attention span reflects on how her Toon counterpart has very high Stealth and slow Movement Speed.
- Twisted Pebble's high speed reflects its Toon counterpart's speed, being the overall fastest in the game.
- Twisted Vee's pop-ups are similar to regular Vee's Mic Check ability (information-based ability that is triggered with a cooldown) and running to failed Skill Checks is similar to her Camera Hijack passive ability (gain information on machines under a certain condition). These pop-ups also reference her role as a gameshow host, in which one must keep the audience's attention (i.e. "Gameshow — JOIN IN!" & "LOOK AT ME!") as much as possible.
- Twisted Shelly's debuff reducing Extraction Speed reflects how her Toon counterpart's Inspiration ability increases Extraction Speed. In addition, similarly to how Shelly likes extinct dinosaurs, Twisted Shelly's body is shaped and has a posture much like that of a theropod dinosaur.
- Twisted Astro's soft, quiet footsteps make him difficult to notice immediately, which reflects how the playable character has the highest Stealth in the game. His ability to regress machines and apply the tired debuff (decreasing stamina regen) can also possibly be a counterpart to how the playable character can restore the stamina of Toons around him.
- Twisted Sprout's ability to damage Toons at range reflects his Toon counterpart's ability to heal at range. His impressive height exaggerates Sprout's and his traumatised expression likely refers to how much he cares about others (the actions he takes as a Twisted are the exact opposite of regular Sprout's morals—hurting instead of healing).
- Twisted Dandy's possession of a unique spawn condition is similar to how Dandy can only be used by developers. In addition, his attack's power might be linked to Dandy's Shop, as Dandy himself sells three items that have the potential to heal or save you while Twisted Dandy has the potential to deal three of damage in one blow.
- Twisted Blot is able to summon his arms to attack to toons. Meanwhile Blot can summon Blot Jr. to protect the other toons and himself from damage.
- Twisted Dandy is the only Twisted in the game with a playable counterpart that isn't accessible to the public, being only accessible to the developers (Qwel and her future developers).
- Twisted Vee's ads depict her Toon counterpart rather than her Twisted form.
- Most of the Main Character Twisteds have something in common.
- They all have their own audio cues like walking, ambience, etc.
- They all share the same attack sound (except Twisted Bassie, who uses the normal attack sound).
- They all leave Ichor footprints when they walk (including Twisted Dandy but excluding Twisted Pebble, Twisted Astro and Twisted Bassie).
- They all are heavily modified from their original Toon counterparts (including Twisted Dandy).
- They all have an attack cooldown of 1 second (excluding Twisted Bobette, who has a 5 second cooldown).
- They all have abilities that hinder your ability to run away from them, with the exception of Twisted Shelly, who only affects extraction.
- Twisted Pebble and Twisted Bobette rely on pure chase speed to make running away very difficult in addition to their heightened spatial awareness.
- Twisted Sprout and Twisted Bassie place obstacles around the map that either hurt you or slow you down if treading too close, making escaping difficult with some parts of the map sometimes completely barred off.
- Twisted Astro and Twisted Vee are currently the only Mains to apply a debuff whilst chasing Toons, that being Tired
IIIandSlow II.
- Twisted Razzle & Dazzle can spawn in a way that their vines can clip inside the elevator before the floor begins.
- Their vines can also be on the walls if they spawn in the way.
- Twisted Sprout's ability is also able to spawn in the elevator. However, it will not attack the players inside.
- Two of the same Twisted should not appear on a single floor. The game tries to avoid dupes, but since it is in alpha, it is possible to get them in higher floors.
- There used to be a glitch where some Twisteds would appear invisible.
- Twisted Vee's ads sound originates from Tower Heroes whenever a mimic spawns.
- You can hear a distorted lullaby version of 'Clair de Lune' when Twisted Dandy appears.
- Currently, Twisted Glisten is the only Twisted capable of speech in-game.
- Twisted Blot, Twisted Connie, Twisted Glisten, Twisted Razzle & Dazzle, and Twisted Rodger are the only Twisteds that, under the right conditions, the player can closely approach without getting hurt.
- In addition to this 3 of the five are uncommon while the remaining 2 are rares
- Before update 0.3.0, the maximum amount of Twisteds per floor used to be eight.
- This was probably because there were less of each twisted in each rarity, so if all twisteds were Common, there would have to be 2 of each Common twisted.
- After update 0.3.0, Twisted Shelly applies Confused
Iinstead ofConfused II. - Twisted Pebble is the only Twisted with a custom sound effect, that being the bark of one of the programmer's dogs, as said by Qwel during an art Q&A.
- Purchasing items from Dandy's Shop does not affect the odds of Main Character Twisteds spawning; the odds are based on how many floors you go down. Conversely, abstaining for three floors reduces the chances of Main Character Twisteds spawning, as Twisted Dandy reduces the chances of all other Twisteds to make room for himself to spawn.
- Before the Twisteds are modeled, the Toon model is rendered in the shape of its Twisted and has black writing to look like Ichor.
- Twisted Toodles had multiple changes such as her rarity being changed to Uncommon and her running/chasing animation being changed multiple times due to hackers/exploiters using it inappropriately. Originally, she crawled extremely aggressively (as in lunging forward, almost banging her head into the floor with each "step"), then it became something alike to Twisted Scraps's animations, and finally an altered, less aggressive version of the original that is more akin to a "bouncy waddle".
- Twisted Gigi and Twisted Blot are currently the only Twisteds to have differently shaped pupils.
- The sound cue Twisted Rodger does when he's about to damage a player originates from the Find The Path floor in Regretevator. Specifically, the noise the tile makes when you step on the correct one(s) while trying to reach Prototype. However, this is slowed down in-game (Dandy's World).
- Twisted Coal, Twisted Flyte, Twisted Shelly, Twisted Sprout, Twisted Goob, Twisted Pebble, Twisted Razzle & Dazzle and Twisted Vee are the few Twisteds shown in the game's screenshots. (As of ver 0.9)
- Twisted Coal is also the first Twisted to be removed from the game's screenshots.
- If you compare the Twisted models to the Toon models, the former is slightly higher and larger than the other.
- The only exception to this rule is Twisted Finn, which is shorter than his Toon counterpart due to the lack of legs.
- During any event, if a Twisted spots you for the first time on a floor, you will earn that event's currency. This only occurs once per Twisted.
- Despite holding a fake Research Capsule in his card render, Twisted Rodger does not actually hold one in-game.
- This Research Capsule likely represents his Capsule Form in which he is dormant, as well as cheekily referencing Rodger's endearment to research.
- For a short period of time, there was a bug where Twisted Tisha, Twisted Boxten, and Twisted Looey didn't have an attack cooldown, making them kill Toons instantly.
- Starting at floor 10, Rare Twisteds and Main Character Twisteds have an equal chance to spawn. Then, starting at floor 15, Mains becomes more common than Rares.
- Twisted Blot is the first Rare Twisted to be stationary, all other stationary Twisteds have been Uncommon up till Alpha 0.9.1. The update Blot was released.
- Twisted Vee, Twisted Astro and Twisted Dandy are all currently tied for the highest hearing radius in the game, being 9999 units.
