Mommy long legs

Personality At the beginning of Chapter 2, Mommy Long Legs presents herself with a warm and welcoming facade to entice the Player to participate in her games. This facade, however, quickly diminishes when she threatens the Player with death and the possibility of having their insides consumed by her if they refuse to obey her commands. Throughout the variety of games the Player must play to win and survive, Mommy Long Legs displays a sinister mix of childish friendliness and unhinged sadism, making her movements unpredictable. She tends to mask her frustrations with a friendly childish facade to hide her growing anger, such as when the Player wins yet another game from her, or when they escape the Statues' play area, causing Mommy to desperately try to lure them back into the play area with the false promise of giving them the Train Code, all the while becoming increasingly enraged and violent. Throughout the events of Chapter 2, Mommy Long Legs engages The Player in several games, in which she claims she will hand over pieces of the train code if they win the games. Mommy Long Legs, however, does everything she can to rig the games against The Player in ways that could result in her death. For example, removing the strings holding the Mini Huggies in the Wack-a-Wuggy game. It seems that despite her skills and strength, she prefers not to act alone, instead hoping that guiding The Player in her rigged games will result in her death without her having to do anything.

In the Transfer Request Document, Mommy is revealed to have been hostile towards the scientists and employees of Playtime Co. Her hostility towards the scientists also extends to all workers who are affiliated with Playtime Co., regardless of job position. In contrast to her behavior towards the workers, she is shown to be motherly and caring, even protective of other experiment subjects. Her motherly personality also extends to the children, as the document states that aside from boosting their morale, Mommy is unlikely to become hostile in front of them. Despite her stated motherly nature in the documents, she does not show this side of her personality during the events of Chapter 2, as she will kill her own minions if they fail to kill the Player, hanging their corpses in the main room of the Game Station. This shows how she does not tolerate failure and presents the possibility that her mind has degraded over time, causing her to no longer care about them. Mommy Long Legs appears to have an extreme ego and attachment issues. She boasts that she is the closest thing the children at the game station have ever had to a motherly figure, claiming that this is where she got the name "Mommy". However, she also views the children as having left her for dead after finishing the games, due to their lack of interest in Mommy herself.

By the end of the chapter, Mommy Long Legs has become completely unhinged, constantly changing her voice from high-pitched to loud, aggressive tones, extending her limbs to bizarre angles and abnormally long lengths, and dilating her eyes to pitch black. Throughout this section, Mommy Long Legs completely abandons the friendly facade she barely tries to maintain, repeatedly chasing The Player with the intent to kill. Throughout the several times she chases The Player, she can be heard laughing sinisterly in a low, rumbling voice, implying that despite her rage, she takes sadistic joy in the chase. This change in demeanor to a deranged hunter ultimately becomes her undoing, as her increasingly reckless pursuit leads her to accidentally get her hand caught in a grinder, something The Player takes advantage of to put an end to her rampage. It seems that Mommy Long Legs deeply fears one experiment in particular, Experiment 1006, the Prototype. As she is dragged into the grinder, she screams in agony "He's going to make me part of him", implying that she understands what his goal is and is horrified by it.

Mommy Long Legs was originally created in 1991 (a year after Elliot Ludwig's death) as a way to test Playtime Co.'s new Elastic Plastic. She was created from the orphan Marie Payne and designated Experiment 1222. Although she was extremely hostile toward the scientists, she acted warmly and maternally toward the other Bigger Bodies Initiative experiments, acting as their protector. The scientists eventually decided that she was the perfect host to guide and calm the children during their time at the Game Station. Despite her conditioning, she was still hostile toward the staff, so they kept her at a distance of 20 meters and had Stella Greyber create intercom recordings to inform the children of the upcoming game. During this time, Mommy Long Legs became so popular with children that Playtime Co. officially created a toy of her and released it on February 2, 1991. She was marketed with their unique Elastic Plastic, which allowed her to stretch to great lengths with ease.

At some point before The Hour of Joy occurred, she encountered the Prototype and participated in the massacre against the scientists on August 8, 1995. Following this event, she worked with Experiment 1170 and Boxy Boo to stop the Resource Extraction Specialists from continuing the Major Bodies Initiative and used their bodies to feed the hungry experiments around the factory. Eventually, she became disillusioned with 1006 and distanced herself from him. Mommy Long Legs would continue to remain in the abandoned facility for years, belittling the minor experiments until The Player's eventual return in 2005.[2] Chapter 2: "Fly in a Web" Mom is first introduced while walking through the Game Station Hallway. As the player scans their Red GrabPack Hand, Mommy swoops down and rips the hand off. She then explains how she wants to play a game since she hasn't played in years. She also teases Poppy Playtime in the process by imitating her voice. Mommy Long Legs promises the train station code if the player plays all three games seen on the Game Station.

Mom is encountered a second time when the player enters the incognitive memory testing platform. She explains how she hasn't seen the game in years and explains the rules of the game. Rules are very simple. The player must click the buttons in the order of the TV flashes, and if they get it wrong, Bunzo Bunny will slowly be lowered. If successful, Bunzo will rise again. If the player lets Bunzo down completely, Bunzo will probably eat them, as Mom explains: “It’s been so long since he’s been able to play, cheer, eat.” After successfully completing the stressful test, Mom gives the player the first part of the Train Code. As soon as the player leaves the room, Mom kills Bunzo for failing her. Mom is encountered a third time when the player enters the Wack-a-Wuggy game. She goes into detail about how Mini Huggies used to be tied to a string to prevent them from escaping and getting too close to children, but now those strings are gone, and Mini Huggies can move freely, allowing them to jump out and scare the player. After finishing the minigame, Mommy is annoyed that the player has won yet again, but tries to congratulate him while also holding back her frustration. She even gives the player the second piece of the Train Code while talking about how sad it is that the player is leaving so soon, and how she wishes to play with them forever. Once again, after the player leaves the room, Mommy kills the Mini Huggies for failing her.

The fourth encounter is after The Player enters the Statues minigame. She laments about how the children she babysat left her behind when they were done with her. She then states that she didn't deserve to be left behind to die alone, but The Player did, as they worked at the factory. During the Statues minigame, The Player realizes that the exit from Statues is blocked by debris, thus rigging the game in Mom's favor. They then end up "cheating" and fighting their way to the viewing area to escape the game. Encountering the Player once again, Mommy begins yelling at them, claiming that they cheated and how she asked the Player to "play fair". Mommy then says how she hates cheaters, and that there is one last game called "Hide and Seek". She will then begin counting down from 10 (however, she will stop at 2), and the Player must run. Although she is supposed to chase the Player, in the next few rooms, Mommy is not heard or seen once. After pulling four colored levers, the Player opens a door and Mommy runs towards them from underneath the area they opened the door from. She eventually chases the Player through the underground facility until they reach the Emergency Exit door.

As they open the door, Mommy runs down the hallway after the player. However, she is so eager to catch them that she ends up getting her left hand stuck in a grinder. The player pulls the lever on the grinder, and it begins to pull Mommy inside. Mommy begins to howl in pain and protests her impending doom. Frantically pulling on her arm, she ends up getting her right leg stuck. Mommy dies when the grinder crushes her abdomen. The upper half of her body detaches from the lower half and falls to the ground, leaving behind a wide grin on her face. A few seconds later, the prototype claw reaches out from under the half-open door on the left and drags Mommy's upper half away (presumably grafting it onto her body).

Skills and Anatomy Like most of Playtime Co.'s Bigger Bodies experiments, Mommy Long Legs possesses paranormal amounts of physical strength and speed. She is capable of instantly killing the player if she manages to catch them. Thanks to the stretchy plastic, her stretchy limbs allow her to have enhanced mobility and are able to stretch hundreds of feet upon request, and she can be seen rapidly climbing the ceiling and rafters of the Playtime Co. factory. She can contort and bend her body when necessary, and can assume a quadrupedal stance to gain more speed when running. The blood seen gushing out of Mommy Long Legs as she is crushed by a grinder confirms that she is organic in nature and is in fact a literal living toy. It is likely that she has a functioning digestive system, similar to Huggy Wuggy, as she threatens that she will "eat her guts out" to The Player. She also appears to have the ability to create spider webs like a normal spider, which she uses to gag Poppy Playtime's mouth and trap her in an office. She has also used webs to block entrances and hang the corpses of Bunzo Bunny and the Mini Huggies after murdering them for their failures.

Curiosities • Mommy Long Legs appears to have been inspired by toys from the 90s to 2000s, especially the famous Betty Spaghetty doll. • Old mom concepts seen at the Storage Facility may prove this theory. • Mommy Long Legs' name is stylized as "Mommy Long-Legs" in the transfer request and stylized as "Mommy long legs" in its official logo. • Mommy Long Legs is thematically associated with spiders, as seen in several motifs related to her character. • Its name is a pun on "daddy longlegs", the name of several species of Pholcidae spiders. ■ Despite having a similar name, the toy character Daddy Long Legs was created in homage to Mommy Long Legs.

Mommy Long Legs is a tall, slender toy with an uncanny resemblance to a spider-like insect, her name being a playful pun on the spider "Daddy Long Legs". She has a light pink, elliptical-shaped head with a long, black, empty, smiling mouth accented with reddish-pink lipstick. Her large, circular eyes are green and human-like, framed by three purple eyelashes on each eye. She sports reddish-pink bangs that wrap in a circular style on the left side of her head, tied with a light blue hair elastic that extends into a long noodle-like ponytail. Her neck is stretchy and light pink, with a toy-like hole at the top, reminiscent of real-life toys. Around her neck is a light blue pearl necklace, complementing her heart-shaped torso and her hot pink heart-shaped bodice-style outfit. Her arms are long and extendable, capable of stretching hundreds of feet, with a design similar to her neck. She wears hot pink gloves with light blue cuffs, matching her light blue cuffed socks on her long legs, which end in hot pink doll shoes. Below her torso, she has a large pink abdomen, further emphasizing her spider-like appearance. In her provoked form, Mommy takes on a distraught and angry appearance. Her entire body becomes withered and covered in dirt. Her face contorts into a permanent scowl, and her mouth twists into a grimace.

In her deranged form, Mom's overall appearance remains similar to her provoked state, but her unhinged behavior intensifies. Her eyes are fully dilated, exuding a maniacal vibe, with her irises fading to a pale artichoke color. She no longer blinks, and her once-neat curls become twisted and mangled. Her hands enlarge disproportionately, with fingers elongated and splayed like claws. Her body contorts at alarmingly unnatural angles, especially during her final chase. In her death scene, blood sprays from her abdomen as she is crushed by the grinder, confirming her organic nature, similar to Huggy Wuggy and other living toy experiments. In her trailer form, Mommy appears larger and heavier, with brighter colors and a more shiny, glossy appearance. The blue parts of her body are less detailed, and her eyes also appear more toy-like than her more realistic human eyes she had in the game.

Range: Extended Melee Range, Tens of Meters via Elasticity Weaknesses: It has deadly weaknesses due to being organic, its hostility decreases when it is around children and its body is susceptible to extreme heat and freezing temperatures. Intelligence: Implied to have been Human prior to her creation, she has been shown to have a great deal of knowledge about the Game Station section of the factory and is capable of operating some of its machines, such as when she tampered with the controls of one of the games the protagonist was playing and made it nearly impossible to win normally. She is also seen using the environment to her advantage, most notably with large spider webs, which she used to gag Poppy and also to hang the corpses of Bunzo Bunny and the Mini Huggies after they failed to kill the player.
