Twisted Finn

Unlike his Toon counterpart's light-azure coloring, Twisted Finn's head is a dark, Ichor-filled black. He wears a slightly darker-orange life jacket with gray stripes. His smile resembles his Toon form but with sharpened teeth, including a characteristic missing tooth. His eyes now feature crimson sclera with larger, rounded black irises containing slit red pupils. During his crawling animation, he leaves a trail of Ichor behind him because his lower body is missing, suggesting his contents are not essential for survival. No fish or objects are visible inside his head. When he spots a Toon, he opens his mouth with apparent excitement and tilts his head upward. Although not visible in his render, his in-game model includes a black shadow between his eyes.

Twisted Finn leaves a trail of Ichor wherever he goes, making it easy to track his path from behind. However, his dark coloring allows him to blend into the mostly dim environment, especially during Blackouts, where he can be difficult to notice. He is generally a slow and manageable Twisted as long as you are not the one to complete the final Machine. When this Twisted is on the Floor, the recommended approach is to prime the Machine nearest to the Elevator (leaving it at 90% completion). Be sure to communicate this with your team — Twisted Finn's Slow III Debuff can be devastating during Panic Mode, so this strategy minimizes the distance you need to cover to reach the Elevator.

The Debuff is severe (50% Speed reduction), so always confirm your surroundings are safe before finishing a Machine when Twisted Finn is active. This Debuff impairs escape ability for all Toons, including fast ones like Pebble and Bassie, reducing their speed to roughly that of a 1 Star Toon. Movement Speed Trinkets or speed-boosting Passive Abilities will reduce but not fully negate the Debuff, since the Movement Speed Stat functions as a multiplier. Finn's own Passive Ability will not completely counteract the effect. Sprinting while debuffed can also waste valuable Stamina for Toons with average Stamina Stats.

Twisted Finn's small stature and dark appearance make him harder to spot during Blackouts than most Twisteds. Having a Toon that can highlight his position — such as Vee or Brightney during Blackouts — helps prevent accidental encounters. His very slow movement speed means he can linger in unexpected locations or circle back after losing aggro, so stay alert when his position is unknown.

Using Train Whistle or playing as Ribecca completely neutralizes Twisted Finn's ability, allowing Machines to be completed without triggering the Slow Debuff. This is especially valuable alongside fast Twisteds like Twisted Pebble or Twisted Dandy, who charges toward completed Machines. Given his below-average speed, 3 Star Movement Speed Toons can easily sprint-tap away from him, though he can cause complications when you are trying to shake multiple Twisteds simultaneously while looping around an island.

Completing 100% Research on Twisted Finn unlocks:

• Twisted Finn is the first Twisted whose primary color is completely different from his Toon counterpart — Finn's light-azure skin becomes dark gray in Twisted form.
• He is the third Twisted to apply Debuffs, inflicting Slow III when a Machine is completed. The first was Twisted Astro (Tired III during chases), Twisted Rodger (Confused III and Slow III from his Capsule), and Twisted Vee (Slow II during chases). The second was Twisted Shelly (Confused I throughout her Floor). Twisted Bassie's flowers also apply Slow III and Tired III.
• This makes him the second non-Main Twisted capable of inflicting Debuffs, following Twisted Rodger. Coincidentally, both lack legs, inflict Slow III, and are Uncommon Twisteds.
• Twisted Finn is the first non-Main Character Twisted to leave Ichor trails, with the second being Twisted Gigi. This is because his lower body is missing.
• He is the only Twisted whose Ichor trail appears in Roleplay Mode. Twisted Rodger also has one, but only in his Twisted form within Roleplay Mode.
• Twisted Finn is the shortest Twisted in the game, with the second shortest being Twisted Toodles.
• He has the second-slowest chasing speed at 15.5, with only Twisted Ginger slower at 14. Excluding Holiday Twisteds, he holds the slowest chasing speed, making him the slowest Uncommon base game Twisted.
• His ability is the direct inverse of his Toon counterpart's Passive Ability — while Finn gains a speed boost when any Machine is completed, Twisted Finn slows down the player who completes one.
• How Twisted Finn lost his legs remains unconfirmed. Some theories suggest they were lost during the Ichor Operation or torn off by another Twisted, which would be plausible given his glass composition.
• When using Train Whistle or playing as Ribecca, the splash effect still plays upon Machine completion, but no Slow III Debuff is applied. These effects essentially strip him of his ability, rendering him equivalent to a Common Twisted.
• Prior to v0.13.13, Twisted Finn was one of the few Twisteds lacking any shadow between their eyes, which is reflected in his current render. After his optimization, a shadow was added, making him the fourth Twisted eligible for a full render update, alongside Twisted Rodger and Twisted Tisha.
• In his attack face, Twisted Finn tilts his head upward, apparently trying to look at the Toon he is chasing. Due to their small sizes, he cannot look at Pebble and Coal.
• Twisted Finn is the third Twisted with Ichor visible inside his head (along with Twisted Glisten), following Twisted Boxten, Twisted Razzle & Dazzle, and Twisted Toodles, then Twisted Shelly and Twisted Teagan. Among Twisteds with Ichor-filled heads, Twisted Finn, Twisted Shelly, Twisted Teagan, and Twisted Bassie are the only ones whose heads are not broken in any way.
