Twisted Dandy

Twisted Dandy features a large flower-shaped head bearing six petals that mirror the color scheme of his Toon counterpart. His face is an off-white shade, while his limbs and smeared blush marks are mint green. His shoulders, chest, torso, legs, and feet are all coated in Ichor. His posture is heavily hunched, resembling a cat mid-stretch. Two loops of film tape encircle his stomach and lower back, and two Tapes are embedded into his upper back. His legs end in hoof-like appendages. His arms transition from white to a light spring green toward the forearms, each wrapped with two loops of tape and impaled by two additional Tapes. His right paw sports red, orange, and yellow claws, while his left paw has green, blue, and purple ones — all long, pointed, and matching his petal colors. He wears an open grin that becomes noticeably more excited when pursuing a Toon.

Twisted Dandy is an enormous and highly dangerous roaming Twisted that patrols the hallways without purpose. True to the mysterious nature of his Toon counterpart, he has a unique spawning requirement: players must refrain from purchasing any Item from Dandy's Store for at least three consecutive Floors where Dandy appears. Each time all surviving Toons skip his shop, Dandy grows progressively more agitated. After the third consecutive skip, Dandy becomes angry and Twisted Dandy gains a 20% chance to spawn.

With each additional skipped shop visit, this spawn probability continues to rise. By the sixth consecutive Floor where his shop is ignored (the third time after he becomes angry), the music in his Store ceases entirely, and Twisted Dandy can genuinely appear on the following Floor. The elevator TV will flash with Dandy's logo when a spawn is possible. Once he spawns (or if a player buys an Item from his Store), he returns to his cheerful demeanor, and players must skip three more shops to trigger the spawn chance again.

Twisted Dandy constantly emits a warped, music-box rendition of "Clair de Lune" accompanied by heavy stomping footsteps. These sounds are loud enough to pinpoint his location and even determine whether he has spawned before the Elevator doors open. When a Toon fails a Skill Check or finishes any Machine, Twisted Dandy immediately rushes toward that Machine unless another Toon already has his attention. If he arrives and finds no one there, he resumes his aimless patrol.

If you ignore Dandy's Shop 5 times in a row after he becomes angry, Twisted Dandy is guaranteed to spawn on the next Floor.

As a Lethal Twisted, any attack from him will instantly eliminate any Toon.

Completing 100% Research on Twisted Dandy unlocks:

• Twisted Dandy and Twisted Dyle share several notable parallels, likely because both hold Lethal status.
• Both are capable of instantly eliminating any Toon they attack.
• According to the game files, they deal 99 damage to Toons.
• Prior to Twisted Dyle's introduction, Twisted Dandy only dealt 3 Hearts of damage.
• This change was likely prompted by Soulvester's addition, who has 4 Hearts thanks to his Passive Ability, Knightly Armor.
• The 99-damage value may also reference their Toon counterparts' 99 Hearts of Health.
• Despite their lethality, invincibility frames from a non-Lethal Twisted hit or Savory Charm will prevent their attacks from connecting.
• Dandy's internal designation is L-001, as he is the first Lethal. The "L" could alternatively stand for "Leader," referencing his role in the Show.
• Neither of their Toon counterparts are publicly accessible.
• Both of their Research entries describe lore rather than mechanics.
• The lower halves of both their bodies are fully engulfed in Ichor and resemble animals — Dyle's is serpentine, while Dandy's evokes a blend of a large cat and a horse.
• Dandy exhibits feline behavior in promotional material, pawing at the air and rolling in tapes as though they were catnip.
• Both Twisted Dandy and Twisted Dyle crawl as their form of movement.
• They each have unique spawn conditions — Twisted Dandy can appear after skipping Dandy's Shop three times in a row, while Twisted Dyle spawns when the TIME'S UP Card is selected.
• Both possess rainbow-colored claws.
• Both can still detect Toons using Smoke Bomb or Connie's Haunting Escape, but cannot see Bobette when she activates Precious Packaging.
• At Twisted Dyle's minimum speed, the two share identical movement values.
• Both can detect a failed Skill Check from anywhere on the Floor.
• A lullaby-style arrangement of "Clair de Lune" plays when Twisted Dandy is present, also audible in his Lobby Shop. The track is available on the Roblox Audio Library and was published by APM Music, who licensed their library to Roblox. The audio has been processed with a bit-crushed effect.
• Completed Machines trigger the same response from Twisted Dandy as failed Skill Checks, Air Horns, Twisted Eclipse's howl, and Pebble's Active Ability — he charges toward the finished Machine.
• Because Dandy's Shop only appears on even-numbered Floors, the earliest he can become available is Floor 6.
• Twisted Dandy is the largest Twisted in the game, and his size is even more imposing when his model is edited to a standing position.
• It is suggested that Dandy can willingly shift between his Twisted and Toon forms, a trait not observed in other Twisteds, who remain locked in their current state.
• Excluding Event Twisteds, Twisted Dandy has the longest attention span at 5 seconds. Including Event Twisteds, Twisted Ginger holds the record at 10 seconds, with Twisted Dandy tying Twisted Coal (on non-Blackout Floors) and Twisted Soulvester.
• The Astro Toon can only be purchased after encountering Twisted Dandy at least once, reflecting the connection between their Toon counterparts and possibly hinting at Astro's knowledge of the Ichor Operation.
• This means Twisted Dandy requires the least Research of any Twisted tied to a specific Toon or Trinket unlock, at just 1%.
• Twisted Dandy is currently the only Twisted without both a Toon-spotted and lost-interest sound effect (excluding non-Main Twisteds).
• His Research description is the shortest of any Twisted, containing only 79 characters.
• Twisted Dandy's original design concept may have been partially repurposed for Twisted Astro, as both featured four arms.
• He is eligible for a full render update due to the Tapes texture having changed since his release. He was the first Twisted eligible for this, followed by Twisted Astro and Twisted Glisten, then Twisted Toodles, Twisted Finn and Twisted Tisha, and Twisted Bobette and Twisted Coal.
• There is speculation that Twisted Dandy may receive future buffs to make him impossible to distract, placing him on a comparable threat level to Twisted Dyle.
• Twisted Dandy is the first Twisted to receive an official plushie.
• He appears in the official music video for "Locked Away" by CG5.
