Welcome to Dandy’s World, a Roblox survival-horror sensation where childlike “Toons” have fallen under the corruption of Ichor, becoming vicious Twisteds. These transformed mascots roam the eerie Gardenview Center, each with unique stats and abilities that challenge your stealth, stamina, and teamwork. Below is the most comprehensive breakdown of Twisteds: how they spawn, what makes them dangerous, and the best strategies to ensure you (and your team) survive every encounter.
In Dandy’s World, Twisteds are corrupted Toons mutated by the mysterious fluid called Ichor. Each one mirrors or distorts the personality and mechanics of its original Toon, creating deadly new threats. From basic roamers with no special powers to cunning illusions that ambush unsuspecting players, Twisteds shape the game’s core danger on every floor.
- Spawn Frequency: More Twisteds appear as you descend floors or if many players remain alive.
- Goal: Hunt and eliminate players, forcing you to rely on stealth, stamina management, and creative teamwork.
Tip: Some Twisteds are stationary, relying on traps or illusions. Others are roaming threats with lethal chase mechanics.

Twisted Behavior & Spawn Mechanics
-
Floor Progression & Scaling
- Early floors typically have 2 Twisteds, with the number increasing the deeper you go.
- Each Twisted’s rarity depends on your current floor and overall difficulty settings.
-
Detection & Chases
- Most roamers trigger a chase on spotting you. They’ll keep pursuing until you break line of sight or they successfully land a hit.
- After dealing 1 heart of damage, a Twisted often pauses briefly, giving you a chance to flee.
-
Attention Span & Speed
- Varies widely by Twisted. Some have short attention spans but run extremely fast, while others move slowly yet chase persistently.
-
Noise Alerts
- Failed skill checks or loud footsteps can draw Twisteds to your location.
- Stationary Twisteds remain in place, triggered only when players enter their zone or spring their trap.
-
Team Scaling
- More players means more potential Twisted spawns, ramping up difficulty on advanced floors.
- If you’re short-handed, expect fewer but still formidable foes.
Dandy’s World Twisteds Tier List
Common Tier
Common Twisteds have no special abilities beyond standard detection and chase mechanics. They’re straightforward threats but still deadly if you’re careless:
Basic roamers with balanced speed, detection, and attention.
Higher vantage (taller model) means better detection range.
Slower pace but relentless, thanks to a longer attention span.
Often idles, sometimes “cleaning,” which can block a path or machine.
Survival Tip: Maintain stamina above 50% for a quick escape, especially if you see them approaching. Duck around corners or break line of sight to end a chase fast.
Uncommon Tier
Uncommon Twisteds add subtle abilities that complicate floors:
Causes an extra chance for Blackout, making floors darker.
Imposes a slow debuff (SlowSlow III) when you finish a machine on his floor.
Slightly faster than average, steals a fraction of your Tapes on a successful hit.
Stationary pair that triggers vine attacks if you run within their circle.
Disguised as a fake Research Capsule, inflicts debuffs or damage if you interact.
Possesses machines, punishing players who attempt to use them.
Very fast, but a short attention span makes her lose you quickly if you break line of sight.
Survival Tip: Anticipate each one’s trick—e.g., watch out for disguised capsules (Rodger), or avoid sprinting near Razzle & Dazzle’s vine circle.
Rare Tier
Rare Twisteds are high-threat foes with direct, game-altering abilities:
Extremely fast, never stops roaming or chasing.
Has a ranged grab that steals items from your inventory.
Builds “anger” if left alone; once maxed, he gains near-unrivaled speed but continues to roam.
Both fling out a long-range attack for 1 heart damage.
Survival Tip: If you see a Rare Twisted focusing on ranged attacks, break line of sight. If it’s speed or constant motion, keep your distance or rely on stealth-based Toons to slip away.
Main Character Twisteds
These reflect the star Toons (Astro, Pebble, Vee, Shelly, Sprout) but in horrifying forms. They cannot spawn before Floor 5, with a chance scaling +4% every five floors (up to 20% max). Each has a signature ability:
Regresses machine progress if you fail a skill check near him, applies Tired (III) to chase victims.
The fastest in the game, can bark to locate players.
Sends pop-up ads that block your vision or skill checks every 45 seconds.
Inflicts a permanent Confused (I) on the entire floor, slowing extraction.
Spawns Ichor tendrils on seeing a player, damaging anyone caught in the area.
Survival Tip: Listen for distinct footsteps or ambient effects that warn a Main Twisted is nearby. These are often more dangerous than typical Rare Twisteds.
Lethal Twisted: Dandy
Twisted Dandy stands alone as the only Lethal Tier Twisted, killing in one hit regardless of your hearts:
Spawn Condition: If all players skip buying items from Dandy’s Shop three (or more) consecutive times, Twisted Dandy has a chance to appear on the next floor.
Survival Tip: Purchase at least one item occasionally to avoid summoning Twisted Dandy. If he appears, treat every corner with caution—one mistake is fatal.
Key Survival Tips
-
Manage Stamina & Movement
- Keep enough stamina to outrun or break line of sight. Ration your sprint; going full-speed at all times is a quick way to get cornered.
-
Coordinate Roles
- Have a distractor Toon (e.g., Pebble or Looey) pull Twisteds away while an extraction-focused Toon (Vee, Shelly) completes machines.
- A healer Toon (Cosmo, Sprout) can sustain your team through multiple hits.
-
Watch Noise Levels
- Failing skill checks or sprinting too often can draw Twisteds to you. Use stealth if your Toon has low detection risk.
-
Observe Special Clues
- Stationary Twisteds rely on triggers (e.g., stepping inside Razzle & Dazzle’s circle). Look for red vines, odd capsules, or glowing machines.
- If you see illusions or unusual color changes, you may be near a trap-based Twisted.
-
Use Items & Trinkets Wisely
- Speed or stealth Trinkets help outrun fast Twisteds.
- Keep healing items or Tapes for emergences; Twisted Teagan might steal them if you wait too long.
Daily Board & Research System
- Every 24 hours (12 AM GMT), a featured Twisted gains higher spawn rates. Expect more frequent encounters and plan accordingly (e.g., if Twisted Finn is featured, watch out for Slow debuffs).
- Each chase or capsule pickup yields Tapes (5% progress standard; 10% if you’re playing as Rodger).
- Reaching 100% research on a Twisted may unlock special in-game Trinkets or advanced Toons.
- Encourages strategic encounters—sometimes you might choose to face a Twisted for that extra research progress.
Lore & The Ichor Operation
-
Origins
- Supposedly orchestrated by Dandy, the original Toon, leading to speculation that Pebble was the first corrupted.
- The substance Ichor mutated once-innocent mascots into these monstrous forms.
-
Gardenview Center
- Once an educational facility, it’s now a labyrinth of haunted halls filled with abandoned machines and Ichor-laced floors.
- Notes or environmental clues reference staff members, Dandy’s possible experiments, and cryptic messages spelled out with toy blocks.
-
Future Additions
- Expect more Twisted variants, holiday-themed transformations, or expansions as Dandy’s World updates. Keep an eye on patch notes for new lethal or advanced forms.
