Nonetheless, not all of them deserve such a malevolent title, so let’s check out who the Smiling Critters are and attempt to shed some gentle on what occurred to them.
We will go into nice element about one member of the group, Poppy Playtime’s CatNap, although we will additionally allow you to in on some issues about Poppy Playtime’s DogDay, the chief of the Smiling Critters. You might also wish to know extra about different characters that seem in Poppy Playtime Chapter 3, so be sure to take a look at our Poppy Playtime Kissy Missy, Poppy Playtime Poppy, Poppy Playtime Ollie, Poppy Playtime Miss Delight, and Poppy Playtime Prototype articles for extra info.
Right here’s every thing we all know in regards to the Poppy Playtime Smiling Critters.
Who’re the Poppy Playtime Smiling Critters?
Earlier than we clarify who every group member is, let’s take a look at the Smiling Critters as an entire. There are eight toys within the group, and it seems as if Playtime Co. created a TV present that includes them, as you’ll be able to watch one of many episodes courtesy of the interactable Chapter 3 ARG expertise, also referred to as the Lieth Pierre Laptop Search. Through the clip, CatNap places all of his friends to sleep together with his fuel on a stormy evening, a fairly foreboding signal of issues to return.
It’s thought that Playtime Co. created the cartoon after the Smiling Critters grew to become the primary mascots for the corporate, following the business success of the road of toys.
Every Smiling Critter has a novel scent related to them and a pendent that represents a core facet of their character. Playtime Co. designed the toys to emit their scents by way of their mouths and tails, serving to the kids chill out or sleep.
As for the person Smiling Critters, they’re:
What’s the Poppy Playtime Smiling Critters’ position within the story?
Warning: you’re getting into spoiler territory.
Past CatNap being the massive dangerous of Chapter 3 and DogDay providing us some essential info earlier than chasing us within the Playhouse, the mini Smiling Critters are an enemy you will need to face as you seek for DogDay. It’s additionally them that finally kill the poor pooch.
As for the Larger Buddies variations of the members, they have been all killed earlier than we arrived on the Poppy Playtime manufacturing unit. If we needed to hazard a guess, we’d wager that, like DogDay, they have been towards the Prototype, which CatNap took nice subject with. DogDay was lacking the decrease half of his physique once we discovered him, as CatNap fed him to the mini Smiling Critters, so we think about the others suffered an analogous destiny – the Prototype and CatNap killed them and used them to maintain the evil toys.
These occasions adopted The Hour of Pleasure, throughout which we suspect the opposite Larger Our bodies Smiling Critters might have taken half within the bloodbath. Nonetheless, whereas CatNap and The Prototype killed individuals no matter guilt and innocence, we consider that the opposite Smiling Critters might have had the identical mindset and Kissy Missy – kill the responsible who prompted them ache. Then once more, as none of them are current within the videotape, there’s at all times the prospect the they didn’t partake within the brutal killings in any respect.
Following The Hour of Pleasure, it’s extremely possible that each one of them, particularly DogDay, tried to combat again towards the management of the Prototype, resulting in their unlucky deaths, for, as everyone knows, the Prototype and CatNap don’t tolerate heretics.
Poppy Playtime Smiling Critters’ character
Every of the Smiling Critters has a unique character, so let’s check out them individually. As we dive into how callous and sinister CatNap is in his personal information, we’ll deal with what Playtime Co. designed his character to be.
CatNap
You all likely know just how evil CatNap is by now, but before those horrific events, CatNap is said to have a calming presence for critters, ensuring that both he and his friends get the right amount of sleep each night – makes sense, given his role as helping to put the children to sleep in Playcare. His scent is lavender, which is also heavily associated with sleeping, while his pendent is a crescent moon.
CatNap recall
Of all the Smiling Critters, it’s only CatNap that underwent a recall, the reason being that instead of emitting the peaceful lavender gas to put the kids to sleep in Home Sweet Home, then he began emitting red gas, a substance that caused the children to have nightmares.
DogDay
What happens to the Bigger Buddy DogDay is nothing short of cruel, and we’ll never forgive CatNap for it. However, looking at who DogDay was, he’s the leader of the Smiling Critters, with a sunny, determined, and strong disposition that leads his friends to turn to him when they need help looking at the bright side of things. This pooch is there for his friends no matter what, with his sunny pendent and vanilla scent at the ready.
Bobby BearHug
Look at her. Bobby BearHug is adorable, and she’s one of the kindest toys out there, with a caring heart and a soul full of compassion. Bobby BearHug loves everybody, and the fact that we never get to meet her Bigger Buddy variant (likely due to her death before we arrive) is nothing short of heartbreaking, especially as it’s due to her death before we even arrive. It’s hard to say how long she’s gone for by the time you arrive. If you want to know how caring this toy is, her pendant is a heart, and her scent is rose.
Bubba Bubbaphant
Bubba is an elephant and a very intelligent one at that. The old adage is that an elephant never forgets, and perhaps that’s what makes Bubba the “brains of the critters.” He’s an attentive toy that’s always by his friends’ sides to help them make smart choices, which explains why his pendent is a lightbulb while his scent is lemongrass. Much like the majority of the Smiling Critters, he’s killed be we arrive at the factory, though it’s hard to say how long for
CraftyCorn
CraftyCorn is the most creative of the Smiling Critters, no doubt being a perfect friend to those who are more artistic. She sees the beauty in life and loves to share that with people through pencils, crayons, paint, and even writing. It’s a crying shame we never get to meet her Bigger Buddy variant, and we hate to think about what may have happened to such a visionary soul. Her pendant is a rainbow-colored daisy, while her scent is jasmine.
Hoppy Hopscotch
Unsurprisingly, the rabbit of the group, Hoppy Hopscotch, is the most energetic of the Smiling Critters, doing what she can to keep up her friends’ energy levels, giving them a pep talk when their enthusiasm is running low. Though she lives life in the fast lane, she can slow down to keep pace with her pals when they need her. It’s a shame that she wasn’t able to outrun her fate at the hands of CatNap and the Prototype. Her pendant is a lightning bolt, and her scent is peppermint.
KickinChicken
KickinChicken is the cool kid on the block (just look at that hairstyle). Nothing phases him; you can knock this toy over, and he’ll bounce back like nothing happened. This is the toy you want if you need to stay calm in stressful situations. He can even help you to calm down with his ylang-ylang scent and star pendant. Whatever happened to you KickinChicken, we’re sorry, we know you didn’t deserve it.
PickyPiggy
As you can probably guess, PickyPiggy is the Smiling Critter who cares about her friends’ diets, making sure that they make healthy choices, even if secretly, PB&J’s are her favorite food. It’s okay pal, we all have our vices and that’s a solid choice for a sandwich. We’d have loved to have met her; her apple pendant and citrus smell would have made us feel right at home – as we stuffed our faces with sweets.
Poppy Playtime Simling Critters’ appearances
The Poppy Playtime Smiling Critters only appear in Deep Sleep, and given how CatNap and DogDay meet their ends in the Chapter and the rest of the cast are long dead, we suspect that this is the last we’ll see of them. Unless one of our Poppy Playtime Chapter 3 theories comes to fruition, they may show up as part of the Prototype in Poppy Playtime Chapter 4 or beyond. It’s a shame, mainly because we wish we could have helped save the good ones.
