Complete Character Roster
Knowing the roster helps you recognize teammates, plan unlock goals, and tell limited event Toons from permanent picks. Dandy's World centers on playable mascot characters called Toons, each with different stats and abilities for surviving floors and extracting Ichor.
The playable lineup changes as updates add new Toons, so older lists may be missing recent arrivals such as Squirm or Waxwell. The current roster below separates core characters, event characters, main characters, and normally unavailable characters.
| Roster type | What it means | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Regular Toons | Standard characters generally bought with Ichor after meeting requirements | Boxten, Poppy, Rodger |
| Main Characters | Higher-tier Toons with an active ability and a passive ability | Astro, Shelly, Vee |
| Event Toons | Characters tied to seasonal currencies and event availability | Cocoa, Gourdy, Rudie |
| Special characters | Characters present in the game but not normally purchasable | Dandy, Dyle |
A few names are especially easy to misread. Razzle & Dazzle are two linked theater-mask characters, but they are treated as one playable selection. Pebble is a dog-shaped rock, while Scraps and Goob are separate craft-themed siblings. “Twisted” versions are hostile forms encountered during runs, not separate playable characters.
Main Characters Names
Main Characters are usually tougher to unlock than regular Toons. They have rainbow-style identification in the selection and store interfaces, along with a pair of abilities that give them strong team utility or personal survival value.
| Main Character | Confirmed full name | Typical role | What stands out |
|---|---|---|---|
| Astro | Astro Novalite | Survivalist | Restores nearby stamina and tracks exhausted teammates |
| Bassie | Bassie Bloomington | Support | Carries an extra item and can share inventory items |
| Bobette | Bobette Carolynne | Support | Can protect herself and boost nearby allies |
| Gourdy | Gourdy Holloway | All-rounder | Gives nearby teammates randomized boosts |
| Pebble | Pebble Dancifer Jr. | Distractor | Draws Twisteds away and locates nearby items |
| Shelly | Shelly Fossilian | All-rounder | Improves another Toon's extraction speed |
| Sprout | Sprout Seedly | Healer | Heals selected teammates using Tapes |
| Vee | Vee Version 1 | Survivalist | Reveals machines and Twisteds on a floor |
Astro, Pebble, Shelly, Sprout, and Vee are the core non-event Main Characters. Bassie, Bobette, and Gourdy are event Main Characters, which means their event currency requirements and availability can make them harder to obtain.
For players choosing a first long-term goal:
- Pick Astro for stamina-focused support and awareness.
- Pick Pebble if you enjoy distracting Twisteds and moving aggressively.
- Pick Shelly for machine-focused teams.
- Pick Sprout if your group needs dependable healing.
- Pick Vee if you want information about objectives and threats.
Main Characters are not automatically the best choice for every run. A regular Toon with the right ability can be more useful for a specific team composition or floor objective.
Regular and Event Toon Names
Regular Toons make up the bulk of the playable cast. Some are starter-friendly, while others ask for Ichor, research progress, completed machines, titles, or mastery goals before they can be purchased.
| Regular Toon | Character theme | Useful gameplay identity |
|---|---|---|
| Blot | Mime | Places a decoy to redirect nearby Twisteds |
| Boxten | Music box | Gains extraction speed while teammates remain alive |
| Brightney | Lamp | Helps reveal Twisteds during blackouts |
| Brusha | Paintbrush | Buffs nearby teammates’ skill checks |
| Connie | Ghost | Can briefly become invisible |
| Cosmo | Cake roll | Gives up a Heart to heal another Toon |
| Finn | Aquarium | Gains speed after machines are completed |
| Flutter | Butterfly | Uses a quick forward dash |
| Gigi | Gachapon | Receives a random item |
| Glisten | Mirror | Travels through mirrors to reach a teammate |
| Goob | Craft character | Pulls visible allies toward him |
| Looey | Balloon | Moves faster as Hearts are missing |
| Poppy | Bubble | Gains speed after taking damage |
| Razzle & Dazzle | Theater masks | Alternates speed and extraction strength by floor |
| Rodger | Magnifying glass | Earns increased research progress |
| Scraps | Paper craft | Pulls herself toward allies or machines |
| Shrimpo | Shrimp | Challenge Toon with very low overall stats |
| Squirm | Bookworm | Eats books for a temporary extraction boost |
| Teagan | Teacup | Spends Tapes to restore a Heart |
| Tisha | Tissue box | Gives nearby Toons a movement-speed pulse |
| Toodles | Eight ball | Temporarily boosts a random stat |
| Waxwell | Candle | Late-added Toon with mastery and research requirements |
| Yatta | Piñata | Drops candy after machine completion |
Boxten and Poppy are the starter selections. You receive one for free at the beginning and can later buy the other with Ichor. They are good early choices because their requirements are simple and their abilities are easy to understand.
Event Toons are connected to seasonal content. Their return schedule can vary, so players who miss an event may need to wait for it to come back before unlocking its characters.
| Event Toon | Event association | Main Character? | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bassie | Easter | Yes | Uses Baskets and Ichor |
| Bobette | Winter holiday | Yes | Uses Ornaments and Ichor |
| Coal | Winter holiday | No | Trinket collection is part of the unlock path |
| Cocoa | Easter | No | Requires Baskets and Twisted research |
| Eclipse | Halloween | No | Requires Pumpkins and Toon ownership |
| Eggson | Easter | No | Lower-cost Basket unlock |
| Flyte | Easter | No | Wind-themed support Toon |

Names, Full Names, and Special Characters
Most Toons are commonly known by a single name, but several have confirmed expanded names. These full names are useful when searching character pages, discussing lore, or distinguishing a Toon from similarly named fan creations.
| Common name | Full name or designation | Availability |
|---|---|---|
| Astro | Astro Novalite | Playable Main Character |
| Bassie | Bassie Bloomington | Playable Event Main Character |

| Shelly | Shelly Fossilian | Playable Main Character |
| Sprout | Sprout Seedly | Playable Main Character |
| Toodles | Toodles the Eight Ball | Playable Regular Toon |
| Vee | Vee Version 1 | Playable Main Character |
Dandy is the title character and operates as the lobby shopkeeper, but players cannot normally buy or select him. Dyle is another developer-only character and is likewise unavailable through standard progression. They should be included in broad character-name lists, but not counted as ordinary playable Toons.
When comparing names, keep these distinctions in mind:
- “Toon” means a playable mascot character.
- “Twisted” means the dangerous corrupted counterpart encountered during a run.
- A seasonal Toon can still be playable, but only after it is unlocked during or after an associated event return.
- Main Character is a gameplay classification, not simply a story-importance label.
- Developer-only characters are part of the cast without being standard unlocks.
