While walking, Huggy has a stiff, yet rather lithe and oddly organic-looking gait. He is capable of breaking into incredible bursts of speed, using his long arms and legs to propel himself forward. While crawling through the vents after the player, Huggy is able to bend and contort his body to fit into tight spaces. Before the player drops the crate onto Huggy on the catwalk, he can be seen sprinting towards the player on all fours, much like an ape. Due to his sheer height of a whopping 18 feet tall, he possesses a size advantage against average humans. During the vent chase, Huggy is able to cut off and keep up with the player by navigating through the ventilation system. In November 2022, the sale of the Huggy Wuggy plush toys was banned by the Turkish Ministry of Trade, stating that the toys "do not meet the requirements of the Toy Safety Regulation." Ministry of Family and Social Services also said it determined that the toy "had a negative effect on the psychosocial development of children." [58]

Huggy Wuggy, otherwise known as Experiment-1170, is a toy produced by Playtime Co., who makes his titular debut in Chapter 1: A Tight Squeeze. As stated by Playtime Co., Huggy is one of their most successful products. As far as we are aware, all of these warnings from schools are originating from fan made content based off of our game, but if you want my personal opinion, I do not think that any of these videos should be cause for concern, and we appreciate all the hard work and dedication our fans are put toward creating content inspired off of Poppy Playtime.” In a trailer headshot close-up of Huggy, it seemed that behind his plastic "eyes" lie big shot, human-like eyes. This however can be proven as false, as three different entities can be depicted talking to us throughout the Vent Chase via the conveyor walls.

Created by Playtime Co. in 1961, Bron the Dinosaur is a brontosaurus toy who shows up throughout Chapter 1 and Chapter 2. He’s a large, bright red dinosaur who appears on many in-game posters, cardboard cutouts, and advertisements, described by Playtime Co. as a hard worker who fully commits to whatever goals he sets for himself. In his cardboard cutout voice lines, he also shows himself to be a bit of a joker – though we get a glimpse of his dark side when he describes himself as ‘the scariest dinosaur’. Mommy Long Legs is the main antagonist of Chapter 2, dragging you through a series of deadly games in exchange for the code you need to start the train and get out of the factory. Throughout, she frequently flips between a soft, maternal yet menacing voice, to downright furious screams, and she clearly finds great joy in toying with her prey.

Huggy Wuggy is a tall and slender creature, with long floppy limbs and bright blue fur. As a toy and mascot, he’s a quiet yet warm and welcoming creature who loves to give out hugs. However, his monstrous counterpart has large, dilated pupils and sharp teeth, along with an unhealthy dose of murderous intent. He still loves hugs, but rather than a fuzzy wuzzy embrace, they’re the let-me-suffocate-you-and-bite-your-face variety. Hoekstra, Kenn (September 25, 2021).

I spoke to Zach Belanger, President and CEO of Enchanted Mob who made the Poppy Playtime game. I asked who the game was aimed at. “Poppy Playtime was not created with the intention to target any specific audience. Bear in mind that this was the first game our studio ever created, and our main priority was to create something that we would enjoy playing ourselves. Beyond that, we have a passion for any content we create to be enjoyable by audiences of all ages. To us, it isn't accurate to say that we created Poppy Playtime to be consumed by kids or adults, but rather our goal was simply to inspire and entertain anyone who decided to play the game.” There are a few other characters we either hear about or see glimpses of throughout Chapters 1 and 2 – some being more important (and threatening) than others. Here’s a brief summary of what we know about each of them so far. A new playmate! It’s been so long… Mommy Long Legs (also ominously referred to as Experiment 1222 or Marie Payne) is essentially what you get if you cross Betty Spaghetty with a spider – in other words, a whole load of nope. She’s a large, slender creature, with four long, twisting limbs and a body made of two segments similar to a spider’s abdomen and cephalothorax.
