Twisted Toodles

Twisted Toodles has a dark gray 8-ball for a head, featuring a white spot on the forehead bearing a gray number "8" that is largely obscured by Ichor. The top of her head is cracked open and dripping, exposing a mass of internal Ichor. She has smeared, messy black blush beneath her eyes. Similar to her Toon counterpart, she wears a white sleeveless dress with a gray hood and two black drawstrings. Her face is dominated by an unnervingly wide, fanged grin paired with a dark shadow between her eyes, with Ichor dripping from her mouth. Her right hand and legs are stained and coated in Ichor. When she spots a Toon, she becomes visibly more unhinged as her pupils shrink and her left eye begins twitching.

Twisted Toodles is a roaming Twisted without any special mechanics. Reflecting her Toon counterpart's youthful nature, she has an extremely brief attention span and loses track of Toons quickly. However, she ranks as the seventh fastest Twisted in the game (tied with Twisted Shelly) and is one of the most dangerous enemies on any Floor outside of Dyle's Floor. Her low attention span works to the player's advantage: making three sharp consecutive turns is usually enough to shake her off your trail.

Toons with 3-Star Movement Speed or higher should find escaping her fairly straightforward, as her short attention window means ducking behind a box or any line-of-sight blocker is usually sufficient. On the other hand, Toons with 1-Star Movement Speed face significant difficulty since Twisted Toodles' chase speed of 20 exactly matches their sprint speed. If you are playing a slow Toon, call out her position to teammates, especially if your team includes Shrimpo, Soulvester, or Connie. Equipping Trinkets like Pink Bow or Speedy Shoes can also help bridge the speed gap.

For dedicated distractors, breaking her line of sight is rarely a problem given her speed limitations. However, distracting with only 4 Movement Speed can still be tight even with Dog Plush and Speedy Shoes equipped, as the speed margin is slim. Pebble is an excellent choice for sustained distraction duty, remaining viable even during Panic Mode. Monitor your distance from her closely and sprint whenever she starts gaining ground. Repeating this cycle until the rest of the team reaches the Elevator is an effective strategy that also works against Twisted Shelly and other high-speed Twisteds.

During Panic Mode, her speed slightly surpasses Twisted Pebble's chase speed, making her exceptionally dangerous. Once all Machines are complete, navigate toward the Elevator with caution, particularly if you are playing a slower Toon below 3-Star Movement Speed such as Vee or Rodger.

Her dark color scheme makes her harder to spot during Blackouts. Compensate by checking around corners carefully, making use of Brightney's or Vee's Abilities, and staying near light-producing Toons. In Ichor Leak scenarios, her high chase speed compounds the slowdown effect from Ichor Puddles, so avoid puddles when possible and check your surroundings before walking through one to ensure she cannot ambush you.

Be aware that from behind, Twisted Toodles looks remarkably similar to her normal Toon counterpart, so always verify before approaching what appears to be a friendly Toodles.

Completing 100% Research on Twisted Toodles unlocks:

• Prior to v0.2.0, Twisted Toodles was classified as a Common Twisted. She was promoted to the Uncommon tier because her speed far exceeded other Commons and she posed a threat level comparable to rarer Twisteds. This makes her the first and only Twisted to undergo a rarity change. Her Common slot was subsequently filled by Twisted Tisha.
• Her short attention span is derived from her character description and likely reflects her young age. It could also be interpreted as her attention being erratic and random, paralleling her Toon counterpart's Beginner's Luck Ability, which grants a random stat bonus. However, Gourdy is also a child and his Twisted counterpart does not share this low attention span, likely because he is a Main Twisted.
• The cracked head may also contribute to her short attention and low detection range, as the damage could imply brain injury. Her head may have been damaged by colliding with a wall or the Elevator.
• Twisted Toodles holds the shortest attention span among all Uncommon Twisteds at one second.
• There is speculation that her head injury could have been caused by a Main Character Twisted like Twisted Pebble or a Lethal Twisted like Twisted Dandy, with the resulting damage also corrupting her brain.
• She is the first Twisted to have a visibly broken section of her head with internal Ichor exposed, a trait later shared by Twisted Razzle and Dazzle, Twisted Glisten, Twisted Gigi, Twisted Bobette, Twisted Ginger, and Twisted Ribecca. Twisted Boxten and Twisted Rudie could also qualify due to his possibly broken clasp and broken left antler respectively.
• Before v0.3.0, Twisted Toodles had the second-fastest chase speed in the game at 20, behind only Twisted Pebble (and currently Twisted Bobette and Twisted Coal during Blackouts) at 25. She was subsequently overtaken by Twisted Glisten (24 in enraged state), then Twisted Cocoa (21), and then Twisted Gourdy (26 in enraged state). Including Twisted Dyle at full speed (40), she sits at the sixth position. She shares her chase speed with Twisted Shelly and remains the fastest Uncommon Twisted in the game.
• Twisted Toodles' animations have been changed twice in quick succession. Her original all-fours running animation reflected her feral, reckless nature. After v0.4.0, she was changed to run upright with arms outstretched in a zombie-like fashion (matching her cracked-open head). Shortly after, the animation was revised again to resemble an infant's crawl, fitting her young age while also making her surprisingly fast crawling speed appear unsettling. The original animal-like chase animation was restored in v0.13.10 with her optimization, though the forward head-bobbing motion was removed.
• She holds the record for the most reworks of any Twisted at 4 total: two animation changes, one rarity change in v0.2, and her optimization in v0.13.10. Counting her optimization, her chase animation was modified three times across these reworks.
• Her attack face bears a resemblance to Twisted Yatta's expression.
• She is eligible for a full render change, as her render shows Ichor on her right arm that does not appear on her in-game model. This may be a UV map error in her optimized model, as suggested by a developer response on Discord.
• Twisted Toodles and Twisted Cocoa have notably similar stat profiles: both feature high chase speeds paired with low attention spans. Despite Twisted Toodles being Uncommon and Twisted Cocoa being Rare, the only stat differences are her 4-unit higher roaming speed, 1-unit lower chase speed, and 0.2-second longer attention span.
