Little Nightmares 1 "Alone"

Janitor(enemy): The Janitor is humanoid monster whose proportions are greatly warped and exaggerated compared to a normal human. His skin is extremely pale and chalky while his head is large and connected to his torso by a wrinkled neck which bends his back into a hunch by its sheer weight. The most striking feature of his head is how the top half of its skin seems to have collapsed and sags down over his eyes, revealing the top of his bare skull and leaving him blinded by the folds of flesh. His mouth is stretched wide from ear to ear, and almost always wears a sinister grin while grinding his many teeth. More so than his head, The Janitor's arms and legs are the most grossly dis-proportioned: while his legs are almost comically short and stumpy, his arms stretch to over twice his body length, and can stretch even longer at will, ending in large hands with long, bony fingers that constantly twitch and grope at everything they touch. His wardrobe consists of a worn-out brown fedora hat, a filthy green jacket with a name tag (revealed to say "Roger" up close), a pair of faded black shoes, and a pair of brown trousers disappearing underneath his shirt.Like many of the other Little Nightmares characters, the Janitor does not speak, but his personality can be inferred from his actions. Like many of the other inhabitants of the Maw, he dutifully performs his work, trapping any children who attempt to escape. The Janitor is blind, and so he has acquired acute hearing and swift reflexes. If he hears the slightest noise, made by child or Nome, he will immediately seek out and pursue its source. The Janitor is smart, but too persistent, which ultimately results in the loss of both of his arms (and his life) when you sever them with a watertight door after he gives chase. Though dutiful, the Janitor is also implied to be a collector or hoarder of sorts, having a room full of dolls and other toys he presumably collected over the years. The Janitor appears to have an affinity for these many objects, as he is has been seen carefully interacting with, organizing, and keeping them in good condition.

Nomes(friend): Nomes are skittish creatures found throughout the Little Nightmares world, with a large number of them inhabiting locations such as the Maw and the Nest. They have an impressive running ability and can easily outrun any other known inhabitant of The Maw. Though skittish, some attempt to befriend strangers; those that take that risk rarely survive. In the first game, they also double as collectibles. Nomes are small, humanoid creatures with papery white skin and conical heads or hats that resemble mushroom caps seemingly styled after gnomes or dwarves from folklore. They have large hands and feet, and are fairly smaller than other children found in the Maw. Additionally, Nomes also emit a croaking sound.

Leeches(small enemy): Leeches appear to be black slimy worms with circular suction mouths used to suck their victims' blood. They can easily suck living beings with almost the same size of them like you, strangling them around like a snake. As seen in Little Nightmares (2017 comic series), some are large enough that they can swallow a whole child. Leeches are the first minor enemies encountered in Little Nightmares and Secrets of the Maw. They are bloodsucking creatures found throughout the lower parts of the Maw, especially in the Prison and the Depths. They are the main antagonistic faction of both said chapters.

Twin Chefs(2 enemy's): The Twin Chefs are both the second antagonists encountered in Little Nightmares. They are the main antagonists of The Kitchen chapter and one of them is briefly encountered in The Guest Area chapter. The Twin Chefs are a pair of obese humanoid monsters who are almost identical in appearance: both have almost toddler-like proportions with stubby legs and thick arms with pudgy fingers, the skin of which is heavily calloused (most likely from years of cooking and dish washing). They also have small but protruding ears and short, greasy brown hair. Both wear tall white chef's hats and white uniforms with aprons splattered with blood and filth, along with blue trousers and brown shoes. The main difference between the Twin Chefs are their faces, one having a wall-eyed stare and an extremely wide, flabby mouth, while the other is cross-eyed with a mouth permanently squished into a fish-like pucker. Like the other characters in Little Nightmares, the Twin Chefs do not speak, but their personality is shown through their actions. Much like the Janitor, the Twins serve the Maw without question, by preparing the food for all the guests. Despite their occupation, their personal hygiene is as questionable as the source of their ingredients, shown when they openly cough around food, rip open a large piece of raw meat with possibly unwashed hands, and unclog a washing station's drain with a toilet plunger. As loyal servants of the Maw, they will not hesitate to attack and chase you on sight, going so far as to add you to the menu if captured. When you are noticed by either of the Chef's, they let out a distorted pig-squeal. Although being the cooks of the ship, they have little knowledge on how to cook meat, as the meat and fish seen eaten by the Guests appear to still be raw. Either that or they are following the twisted rules of their world.

The Guests(more then one enemy of them): The Guests appear as massively obese humanoid creatures with stumpy limbs and fat, misshapen heads. Their bloated faces appear to be almost deflated or melting, with bulging cheeks, flabby jowls, and/or sagging neck-folds, and many of their eyes appear to be buried by, or sinking down into, the surrounding flesh. All of them wear simple button-up coats stretched tightly over their corpulent guts, and some can be seen wearing dress hats or white masks similar to Japanese kabuki masks. The males all appear completely bald, while the females have their hair styled into neat buns and painted fingernails. The Guests rarely speak, and their personality is shown through their actions. They appear to be nothing more than mindless, ravenous gluttons that consume whatever food they can get a hold of. The Guests eagerly board the Maw where they find their seats and continuously gorge themselves; gnawing, chewing, and swallowing massive amounts of meat and other stuff whole. For reasons unexplained, the Guests appear fixated on devouring you above all else. Whenever one catches a whiff of you, they immediately attempt to reach you at all costs and completely ignore the food they were eating before. They will plow through obstacles and each other in order to get you and should any of them get a hold of you, they will immediately consume you without hesitation. Aside from eating, the only other feat the Guests appear capable of doing is napping, showing that they are incredibly lazy when not wolfing down food. Guests also appear rather clumsy and none too bright, as they can get stuck in certain areas that are more easily traversable for you.

The Lady(final boss enemy): The Lady is an unnaturally tall, slender woman with the appearance of a Japanese geisha. She has raven-black hair that she keeps partially wrapped in a bun. She is adorned in a long dark brown kimono, which seems to trail moderately behind her when she walks. Her face is perpetually covered by a white porcelain mask similar to a Japanese Noh mask, through which two lifeless black eyes stare out. In spite of nearly all of her body being covered, the skin tone on her neck seems to be a pale demitasse color. Like the other characters in Little Nightmares, the Lady rarely speaks, but her personality is shown through her actions. She elegantly glides across the Maw with unnerving grace and serenity, though she appears to be highly vain and narcissistic, calmly brushing her hair in her bedroom to keep up appearances despite sitting in front of a broken mirror. Running the Maw only fuels her vanity and corruption, as she is perfectly willing to allow the ugly Guests to gorge themselves on meat from questionable sources, with no sort of empathy towards any of the innocent children she has imprisoned and fed to her customers. It is presumably because of her vanity that she has children kidnapped and slaughtered; the Lady is determined to be the only beautiful person in a world full of hideous monsters and seeks to eliminate the natural beauty she sees in the children brought to her ship, perhaps feeling threatened by it. In contrast to her narcissism, or because of it, she appears to be unwilling to look at her own reflection, hence her mask and the various shattered mirrors around her living quarters. In the Residence, it is revealed that her reflection appears incredibly deformed, most likely leading her to hate her own appearance.

The Lady powers: The Lady possesses supernatural powers, which she learned during her residence in the Maw.[5] Prior to her death and the absorption of her powers by Six, she is the only being in the Maw who is shown to use magic. Interestingly, the Lady's presence brings a deathly cold aura, as Six and the Runaway Kid can both see their breath in her midst., Teleportation: The Lady is able to vanish in a plume of pitch-black smoke and reappear anywhere of her choosing - regardless of distance or blockages, such as rooms whose entryways are locked. Despite this, she seems unable to follow Six through a small grate in the wall and can be seen using an elevator in both the main story and DLC, suggesting this power may have its limitations. Telekinesis: She can control matter with her mind by gazing at the person or object of her intent and reaching a hand in its direction, as displayed when she lifts Six and the Runaway Kid off the ground on two separate occasions. She also uses this power to hover as opposed to walking, blowing out all nearby light sources and casting entire rooms into darkness in the process. Darkness camouflage: The Lady can seamlessly blend in with the shadows of her surroundings until she chooses to strike. After Six kills and eats the Lady, the lights of The Maw's dining hall can also be seen flickering and breaking, alluding to the Lady having the ability to blot out nearby light sources. Life absorption: Although never directly seen, it is heavily implied the Lady can steal the life force of other beings, as Six acquires such an ability after devouring her. This ability manifests as trails of wispy black smoke enveloping the corpses of victims. Piercing shriek: The Lady can create a scream capable of causing the lights go out and powerful enough to shatter mirrors. Nome conversion: The Lady can rearrange the anatomy of children to turn them into Nomes, as demonstrated with the Runaway Kid. It is also speculated that through this process, she may be able to consume their youth. Spell casting: The Lady is said to have cast the magic spell which kept the Maw operating, showing she was proficient with casting of spells and enchantments.

The Maw: The Maw is the main location in Little Nightmares where all its gameplay takes place. It is described as a kind of underwater resort that caters to the extremely wealthy and powerful elite. It is never explained how or when the Maw was built or who built it. The Maw functions just like a metal-plated ocean liner but is designed vertically like a skyscraper. Due to this design, it floats like an iceberg where only its funnel breaks the ocean surface while the greater bulk lies underwater. However, when passengers need to climb aboard, it can raise itself out of the water further to expose its shell-like entrance. That being said, the Maw is partially submersible, and it can also anchor itself. When the Maw is submerged, its appearance is a small rock formation with a door, and at the top is a chimney that bellows black smoke. Like an actual ship, the Maw tends to heel gently in the waves, enough to cause some objects to roll across rooms. It also has watertight doors in the lower areas to prevent its compartments from flooding in the event of a breach. In the trailer, there are also portholes that allow that on-board to see outside. As seen in The Hideaway DLC, the Maw is steam-powered and has great engines that burn coal to provide power. It does not seem to propel itself with propellers but by the propulsion of black smoke as seen in its concept art. Any smoke not used for propulsion escapes the Maw through the single funnel located at its peak. Trailing behind the Maw are giant fishing nets used to catch the large aquatic creatures seen in the Kitchen. The Maw also has electric generators to power the various light sources and elevators found throughout the areas. It is interesting to note that despite its primary inhabitants being giant compared to Six, there are many areas throughout the Maw that are built or easily accessible to small creatures. This includes padlocks installed on doors close to the floor and miniature ladders. The first four areas are separated by vast chasms, giving the illusion that there is a large city within the Maw, and are connected by rails with traveling hooks that carry bags between areas. An elevator directly connects the Guest Area and the Lady's Quarters, the latter of which is directly above the other and is overlooked with a balcony.

The Eyes: Although there are numerous eye symbols found throughout the Maw, these Eyes generally refer to artificial devices which were likely designed to prevent prisoners from escaping and intruders from entering, having a similar mechanism to a security camera.

The prison: It is a very dark and lonely area and seems to be located starboard of the Maw in the lowest compartments. Various cabins are connected by vent shafts or thick metallic doors that Six cannot open. The Prison also gives Six her first glimpse of the Janitor but the most frequent antagonists encountered here are leeches and Eyes. There are very little encounters with other beings and Six spends the majority of her time in the Prison alone. The Prison is also where Six encounters the Hanging Man. Its name implies that the children who can be seen throughout Six's journey are being held there as unwilling 'guests'. The Janitor seems to be their caretaker and keeps them in line. They even have a play area, but are prohibited from escaping by electric bars on both sides. Six also sees a cafeteria where another child gives her a piece of bread to subside her hunger.

The Lair: This place appears to be the storage section of the Maw, housing several props like furnitures. The lair also exhibits different locations such as a room to survey different parts of the ship, a centre where the Janitor wraps up children to be sent to the kitchen on a hook line, a room filled with clocks, and a library with a hanging piano up above. Adult-sized shoes are dumped into an area where an unseen monster lurks within. The Janitor appears to reside here, as evident by his room located within the lair. The lair is interconnected with the prison, and all floors within are accessible with an elevator.

The kitchen: As its name suggests, the Kitchen is a section within the Maw where the Chefs cook up and prepare meals for the hungry guests to chow down on. The Kitchen houses places every kitchen commonly has, namely a pantry, a prep station, a cook station, and an area used for dishwashing. The residence of the Chef brothers is located in this place. A garbage dump can also be found somewhere under the dishwashing area.

The Guests area: The architecture of the Guest Area is highly reminiscent of Japanese restaurants. It is mainly a large dining area that connects to the main entrance of the Maw. It has several floors all lined with tables and stools to accommodate the Guests that crowd this area in large numbers as well as the massive banquet of red meat and wine prepared for them. The Guest Area must be extremely sturdy for it to support the collected mass of the Guests, although one guardrail will give way under the weight of one unfortunate Guest. Aside from the dining rooms, there is also at least one bathroom and isolated rooms where Guests can rest after eating their fill. The Guest Area also connects to The Lady's Quarters via an elevator and The Lady can also monitor the entire diner from her balcony. After her encounter with The Lady, Six will return to the Guest Area to exit the Maw, killing several Guests along the way.

The Lady's Quarters: It appears to be a small house, in which the Lady lives. It is rather lavish when compared to the rest of the Maw, featuring lush, purple-red carpeting/wall paper, decent furniture and flooring, and clean interior. Mannequins are scattered throughout the area, providing camouflage for the Lady. It is important to note that nearly all mirrors in this area have been damaged.

Shoe monster: Having escaped from the Janitor in the Lair through the ventilation, Six finds herself in the home of the Shoe Monster, filled with a huge pile of shoes. To get to the exit, Six must go through the shoe pile while avoiding getting caught by the unseen Monster.

Geisha's: The statues are molded in the form of the Lady and made of porcelain, with an eye-shaped symbol on the underside. They are about the same height as Six's leg(s). The statues must be smashed to collect. When broken, black smoke and white sparks will fly out of it. Once the player collects and smash all ten of these statues, they will be rewarded a porcelain mask, very similar to the Lady's. They will also get the achievement "Rascal". If done it will unlock a picture of a boy with a paper bag on his head with letters "Mono" maybe his name? On the back of the picture it has "unsaved soul" in red letters

Lanterns and Candles: Lanterns have the appearance of a look small metal lamp with a metal piece on top to protect the flame. If the player lights 20 lanterns and candles, they will unlock an achievement. If done it will unlock a picture in the hand of the user a girl in a raincoat with letters "Six" maybe her name? But shes a shadow version on the back of thr picture is "Hunger" in red letters

The meat in the maw: The meat in this game is all but outright said to be human meat, HUMAN CHILD MEAT, Advertisement: The chefs appear to be wearing skin masks or body suits, possibly to conceal their actual face from the guests, as they are likely a different species.
