Minor Characters in Dandy's World — Lore Guide
Minor Characters are characters in Dandy's World that don't play a significant role in gameplay and are only mentioned once or a few times in lore notes, drawings, and camera footage. They include named and unnamed children who visited Gardenview, as well as minor Toons such as Barnaby Wilikers, Blot Jr., and Mr and Mrs Holloway.

Children in Drawings and Notes
Several children appear in drawings and notes left around the game's Floors, addressed to specific Toons. Kayla appears in a drawing made for Dandy — based on her likely self-portrait, she has warm brown skin, long dark brown hair in two ponytails, a purple skirt, and a teal shirt with blue stripes. Julia appears in two notes: one written to Astro (where she incorrectly assumes he lacks hands) and one to Vee. She was stated to be 7 years old in a developer livestream and is the only child to have created two works. Timmy appears in a note written to Boxten.
Six unnamed children also appear in drawings and notes addressed to Astro, Dandy, Sprout, Blot, Yatta, and Flutter. Despite their individual identities, the drawings appear to be stylistically similar, as though drawn by the same child.
Barnaby Wilikers
Barnaby Wilikers is one of the 4 Minor Toons in Dandy's World. He is a small toy fish who resides inside Finn's fishbowl head. Barnaby is a small purple fish with wiggly light purple stripes, short fins, puckered lips, purple blush, large eyes, and a gray wind-up key on his back. He has 5 Skins: Vintage, Prismatic Pal, Tacky Sweater, Ice Fisher, and Flowery Punch — changing appearance based on Finn's current Skin.
Barnaby is heavily implied to be sentient since he can blink and move in a suspiciously fluid manner for a toy, as noted in one of Dandy's Gossip dialogues. He was released lore-wise on August 14, 2024 and added in-game on November 26, 2025. He is the first non-Main Toon to have a last name and the first Toon without a Twisted counterpart.
Blot Jr.
Blot Jr. is one of the 4 Minor Toons. It is a gray, limbless ink blob that can be summoned by Blot for 10 to 80 Tapes, scaling with the number of Blots in a round (10 Tapes per Blot). Blot Jr. has a head shaped like Blot's, with drips on both sides and a piece of paper taped to the right side with a drawn-on eye. It has 6 Skins: Vintage, Show-Time, Cozy Pink, Sanguine Silence, Chilly Penguin, and Fancy Frosting — matching Blot's Skin.
Blot Jr. has the lowest Stealth in Dandy's World at -999 Stars. Several Twisteds such as Twisted Razzle and Dazzle, Twisted Rodger, Twisted Connie, and Twisted Blot's arms will not target or attack it. Ranged Twisteds like Twisted Goob and Twisted Scraps can target it but their ranged attacks are delayed by it.
Mr and Mrs Holloway
Mr and Mrs Holloway are Gourdy's parents and are 2 of the 4 Minor Toons. They are seemingly absent from Gardenview. Two special graves on the Halloween Floor suggest they may be dead, though there is a chance they were never meant to be real Toons and only appeared as faceless characters in the Show. Gourdy's Memory Locket Trinket, his Gossip dialogues, and drawings in his bedroom wall all express his deep desire to remember what they look like.
Mr Holloway has a dark orange elongated head with a stem and two leaves at the top, large paws with four claws, and a long green tail with a leaf at the end. Mrs Holloway has a similar head shape to her son's, with a pale tan body, large paws, and a purple bandanna with dark purple spirals.
Trivia
Several notable facts apply to the Minor Characters category.
- Barnaby is the first non-Main Toon to have a last name; Mr & Mrs Holloway are the second due to their relation to Gourdy.
- Blot Jr. has the lowest Stealth in Dandy's World, even lower than Shrimpo, though Shrimpo still holds the record as the Toon with the lowest Stealth since Blot Jr. is not a Toon.
- Gourdy's parents are the first Toons and characters in general to be in a canonical romantic relationship.
- They are also the second Toons to have an offspring — the first being Blot, who has Blot Jr.
- Julia is the only child who created two works directed to different Toons.
- Despite all the children having individual identities, the drawings all appear stylistically similar, as if drawn by the same artist.
