How To Unlock Dyle

Strategy

Dyle is best understood as a npc shopkeeper / lethal toon.

Dyle's passive ability is Dyle's World.

Dyle is not a playable Toon for regular players, so there are no combat or survival strategies associated with him. Instead, his primary role in the game revolves around running Dyle's Store in the Gardenview lobby, making him one of the two key NPC shopkeepers alongside Dandy. Understanding how to interact with Dyle's Store efficiently is essential for any player looking to acquire cosmetic items, complete their collection, or customize their Toons.

Dyle's Store sells three main categories of items: Toon Skins, Stickers, and Gamepasses. Skins and Stickers are purchased with Ichor, the in-game currency earned by completing floors, finishing machines, and progressing through runs. Gamepasses, on the other hand, require Robux and grant permanent perks or boosts. When browsing the shop, take your time to compare available Skins with what you already own — Dyle himself encourages players to browse at their leisure. Prioritize purchasing Skins for Toons you use most frequently, as cosmetic items do not affect gameplay stats but can enhance your experience and signal mastery to other players.

Beyond shopping, Dyle offers a Gossip system similar to Dandy's. By engaging in Gossip conversations, players can learn Dyle's personal opinions and observations about the other Toons living in Gardenview. These Gossip entries are a rich source of lore and character development — Dyle comments on nearly every Toon in the roster, though he does not mention Looey, Brightney, or Pebble by name, instead referencing the groups they lead such as the Circus Troupe and the Book Club. Completing all of Dyle's Gossip entries is recommended for players interested in uncovering the deeper narrative threads of the game, particularly his unique perspective as the only Toon who has seen the outside world.

Dyle's position in the center of the lobby makes him easy to find — simply look for the gold pocket watch Toon near the train controls. His stand includes a lever that controls when the lobby train comes to a stop. Interacting with him opens his shop interface directly. Unlike Dandy's Elevator Shop, which rotates its inventory and deals in items found during runs, Dyle's Store focuses exclusively on cosmetic purchases. This means you can plan your Ichor spending between the two shops: save Ichor for Skins and Stickers at Dyle's Store, and spend found Items at Dandy's Elevator Shop for different rewards.

For players who are developers, Dyle is technically playable and features maxed-out five-star stats across every category — Skill Check, Movement Speed, Stamina, Stealth, and Extraction Speed. His passive ability, Dyle's World, shares identical formatting and description with Dandy's passive. In Roleplay mode, all players can select Dyle, though his stats in that mode do not carry over to standard gameplay. His developer-exclusive status makes encountering a player-controlled Dyle in a regular lobby an exceptionally rare event.

Notable interactions to watch for include Dyle's shopping dialogue lines, which change depending on whether you are browsing, making a purchase, or completing a transaction. He greets players warmly with lines like "Hello! Take your time to browse the things I have for sale" and responds to purchases with enthusiasm such as "Truly a wonderful purchase! All yours!" These small touches reinforce his character as a professional yet personable shopkeeper who takes genuine pride in his role, despite being isolated from the on-air show cast.

Dyle and Dandy

Dyle is often searched alongside Dandy because their lore and dialogue suggest a long-standing connection inside Dandy's World.

Appearance

Dyle takes the form of an anthropomorphic gold pocket watch, complete with a long matching gold chain of the same color that he frequently holds during his walking, idle, and running animations. His face features dark blueish-gray eyeshadow, and his hour and minute hands are positioned to create the distinct appearance of a mustache, making him the first Toon with any semblance of facial hair in his default skin. Seven rainbow-colored tick marks adorn his clock face — red, orange, yellow, green, blue, lavender, and a deeper purple — starting with red at the top and proceeding clockwise, representing the only seven-color rainbow design in the game. If one reads the position of the clock hands, his face appears to consistently display the time 4:38, though the off-center placement of the hand bases makes precise reading difficult. He wears a sharp suit matching the color of his eyeshadow over a white long-sleeved shirt, accessorized with a rainbow-striped tie that complements the tick marks on his face. His trousers feature vertically striped rainbow patterns similar to those worn by Delilah, and he completes the look with dark blue shoes — notably making him the first Toon to wear footwear in his default skin. He is also the first male Toon to sport eyeshadow in his default design. When annoyed, as seen in the Downtime with Dyle animation, red dots appear in his eyes and a fang protrudes from his mouth, hinting at a partial shift toward his Twisted form.

Personality

Dyle manages the Gardenview Train Center and approaches everything with strict professionalism. He views other Toons as colleagues rather than friends, setting him apart from most of his peers.

Having been raised solely to oversee the trains, Dyle was never part of the show's cast. This separation appears to have left him quite isolated — a note reveals that he once asked Arthur and Delilah for a spot in the show, though it never came to be. His living quarters are located on a completely separate floor from the other Toons, and his gossip about Looey includes the line "I don't have the luxury of friends." Still, he makes the most of any chance to socialize, such as delivering food to Sprout. Interestingly, his office — where all the train controls reside — sits in the middle of the lobby in full view of everyone.

Beneath his reserved professionalism, Dyle genuinely cares about those around him. His gossip entries about Yatta, Glisten, and Finn reveal this softer side: he leaves candy near the trains for Yatta, expresses worry about Glisten's clumsy tendencies, and patiently lets Finn ramble about his interests. These moments suggest that despite being assigned to train duty, Dyle does find opportunities to connect with others.

In summary, Dyle is a disciplined, business-minded Toon who, despite his isolation from the broader group, seizes every chance he gets to spend time with his fellow Toons.

Dialogues

  • "Oh very lovely choice! ...Care to buy anything else?"

Interactions

Trivia

  • His name is a play on the word 'Dial' and possibly the name 'Kyle,' while his surname (Timesly) riffs on 'Time' or 'Timely.'
  • In Old English, 'Dyle' translates to secret or hidden — fitting for a Toon who works behind the scenes running the trains instead of appearing on the show.
  • His Twisted counterpart's description and his gossip about Sprout both indicate that Dyle was the sole Toon who ever saw the outside world, having exclusive access to the outbound train from Gardenview.
  • He is the second Lethal Toon after Dandy, arriving nearly 14 months after the game's initial release.
  • Dyle's designation is OA-001, where 'OA' likely stands for Operational Assistant, though he still falls under the Lethal classification.
  • This designation makes sense given his role operating the trains rather than performing in the show.
  • The 'OA' could alternatively mean 'Off-Air,' since a radio transcript confirms he was never intended for the show's cast.
  • His gossip about Scraps reveals that his preferred animals are ponies.
  • This has led to widespread fan speculation that Dyle enjoys a certain cartoon about ponies, though nothing has been explicitly confirmed.
  • During the Third YouTube Livestream, Qwel said she wasn't brave enough to confirm or deny whether Dyle is a My Little Pony fan.
  • In the 'It Was All a Dream' video, a music box rendition of the My Little Pony intro theme plays, confirming at least that Dyle is aware of the franchise.
  • Dyle harbors an intense dislike for Shrimpo — so much so that he occasionally plots ways to remove him from Gardenview entirely. This makes him the only Toon with a genuine grudge against Shrimpo rather than simply finding him annoying.
  • The 'It Was All a Dream' video shows Dyle dreaming about running Shrimpo over with a train, further emphasizing the depth of his animosity.
  • He is the first Toon to wear footwear in his default skin, followed later by Soulvester.
  • He is the first male Toon to sport eyeshadow in his default design.
  • He is the first Toon with any form of facial hair on his default skin.
  • Dyle is uncomfortable with physical contact, particularly when uninvited. This makes being around Goob — who hugs others spontaneously — especially difficult for him.
  • His gossip about Teagan hints that he may be afraid of or dislike snakes.
  • His Twisted form features a snake tail and serpentine sounds, suggesting the Ichor forced him to confront that very fear.
  • Despite also conducting investigations and maintaining records, Dyle is not permitted to speak with Rodger, for reasons still unknown.
  • One theory is that their conversations would be too distracting, or that Dyle might share information about the outside world with Rodger, which could make other Toons curious and vulnerable.
  • Given his exclusive access to the outside, Dyle is likely the one who supplies Dandy with the items sold in the Elevator Shop.
  • Qwelver has stated in a livestream that Dyle draws inspiration from Tony the Talking Clock in Don't Hug Me I'm Scared — similar to how Glisten originated as an OC for that series.
  • Looey, Brightney, and Pebble are the only Toons whom Dyle does not mention by name in his gossip entries, though contextual clues make it clear who each entry is about.
  • In fact, his gossip entries about Looey and Brightney reference the groups they lead — the Circus Troupe and the Book Club — rather than the Toons themselves.
  • He is the second character to address Dandy by his given name, Dandicus, with Teagan being the first.
  • Dyle is the first shopkeeper who cannot be purchased from his own shop (unless his Sticker counts).
  • Interestingly, while Dandy does not appear to offer himself for sale, developers can technically purchase him in Dyle's shop, as the purchase dialogue exists in the game's code.
  • He is the only Lethal without a designated Toon Handler, though it may not be coincidental — Delilah wears similar pants, and the first syllable of his name mirrors hers, echoing the naming pattern between other Toon Handlers and their assigned Toons.
  • One of Dyle's gossip facial expressions reuses his hurt face texture, paralleling how Dandy's hurt face appears as his third-stage no-buy expression.
  • He is the first and only Toon with a full name who willingly reveals it himself, doing so in gossip entries about Brusha and Razzle & Dazzle.
  • Dandy and Dyle share several notable parallels: both have Lethal Twisted counterparts, both run shops in the lobby, both have Toon forms unavailable to regular players, both feature rainbow colors in their designs (though Dyle includes violet while Dandy does not), both are the sole Toons in their respective designations (OA and L), both are male, both have names starting with D, and they share identically formatted passive abilities with the same description.
  • Because they share the same ability text, Dyle's ability reads 'The star of the show' despite him having no on-air role whatsoever.
  • The lever on Dyle's stand controls when the lobby train comes to a stop.
  • Dyle ties with Vee for having the shortest full names at 11 letters each, though Dyle's full name is technically the shortest at 12 total characters (including spaces) compared to Vee's which includes 2 spaces.
  • In the 'Downtime with Dyle' animation, red dots appear in his eyes and a fang protrudes from his mouth when he is annoyed — suggesting he can partially shift into his Twisted form when angered. Unlike Dandy, he appears able to revert and control his temper, indicating greater self-regulation.
  • Both the animation and his in-game room confirm that he owns a white flip phone.
  • In his gossip about Cosmo, Dyle's dialogue text misspells 'delectable' as 'delictable.' This may be an intentional callback to Sprout and Cosmo's dialogue and certain in-game posters, as the misspelling reportedly will never be corrected.
  • Based on where his clock hands point, Dyle's face consistently reads 4:38, though the off-center placement of the hand bases makes precise reading difficult.
  • Dyle has baking skills, as confirmed by Dandy's Elevator dialogue when a player takes one of his Christmas Cookies. He can also decorate eggs, as mentioned in dialogue related to a Dandy Easter Egg.
