CatNap

CatNap - CatNap, otherwise known as Experiment 1188 or previously Theodore Grambell, is the third antagonist of Poppy Playtime, serving as the main antagonist of Chapter 3: Deep Sleep and the secondary antagonist of the series.

He was originally responsible for looking after the notorious Home Sweet Home, a Playcare facility that held child experiments captive. Experiment 1188 contained a non-lethal but potent version of Poppy Gas in his respiratory system. During the creation of Experiment 1188, he went through two iterations before the final version was perfected. According to information gathered from his info card, as well as the Cross-Department Report, CatNap was originally stated to be docile, gentle, bashful and highly impressionable. While eerie and unnerving at first glance, CatNap was in reality a rather calming presence who took his job of being Playcare’s caretaker very seriously, as he always wanted to ensure his friends were getting the proper bed rest they need. He enjoyed watching them sleep soundly and could easily take care of the wants and needs of the children.

The Bigger Bodies version of CatNap is fervently devoted to the Prototype, tirelessly promoting worship and urging others to embrace the concept of "The Hour of Joy." Those who dare to oppose the Prototype, even toy-mascots, are labeled as heretics and face dire consequences. From the time of his creation, CatNap firmly believes that his ultimate purpose is to serve and obey the enigmatic figure known as 1006, although the true nature of this objective remains shrouded in mystery. While exploring through the Caverns, CatNap is depicted engaging in fervent prayer at a shrine devoted to The Prototype. As the chapter reaches its conclusion, the Prototype emerges and CatNap is shown kneeling, seemingly conveying his submission and loyalty to this figure of reverence. His devotion to 1006 is more likely an evolved version of the “friendship” between Theodore Grambell and the Prototype.

Given his unwavering devotion to the Prototype, CatNap exhibits zero tolerance for non-believers who work against his revered leader. This unwavering loyalty is epitomized in CatNap's treatment of heretics, specifically DogDay after navigating through the Playhouse. Despite the extremities CatNap has taken to further the Prototype's goal, he isn't fully heartless, at least towards children, as he still looked after and cared for the surviving children of Playcare after The Hour of Joy, making sure that they are not hurt. One of his efforts of ensuring their safety is to prevent them from encounter harmful entities that will hurt them such as the unhinged Miss Delight.
