Appearance Dozer is a cartoonish yellow smiling face with shut eyes and a smile, it has 2 yellow circles around it and a hallucinatory effect around it.

When attacking, its eyes peel open to reveal large, horizontally slanted eyes. If a player is caught, the eyes and smile will become unnaturally large and uncanny. Within the game, Dozer can be seen slightly moving around from side to side.

Avoidance Dozer spawns randomly, but mostly before or after Carnation spawns. Dozer will appear on the screen, with its eyes closed. To survive it, when Dozer opens its eyes, Do not move and crouch, and wait until it has completely gone away. It is important to make sure you do not slide, as this is a common incident that happens to unsuspecting/new players. Failing to do so results in death.

If Carnation is approaching as Dozer spawns, don't panic. Carnation will be slowed down by 90% while Dozer is attacking, so you will have plenty of time to find a hiding spot after Dozer attacks.

Trivia Dozer is very likely inspired by A-90 in Doors' Rooms floor, in that they has the same central mechanic, as well as using an extremely similar stop-sign icon just like A-90's within Dozer's note. Dozer, along with Litany and Goatman, are the only Entities that kill instantly (I.E. not Slight, Heed, or Doppel) with their own proper jumpscare. The text when Dozer kills a player reads "will you wake up tomorrow?" An old version of Dozer’s badge quote referred to him as a "he," implying that Dozer is male. This has currently been fixed by the developers. Dozer's jumpscare is directly inspired by the Mandela Catalogue by Alex Kister. You can still survive Dozer while falling by crouching in mid air. This is because Dozer detects input instead of movement. How you stop and crouch to avoid it may refer to "kneeling", a sign of being respectful, subservient, and humble over egotistical pride. This is reinforced in the badge, SNOOZE, with the text, "swallow your ego, or it will," a direct nod to having to focus on Dozer instead of your current task. Dozer's animation is the same frame but mirrored repeatedly. Dozer wakes up after 1.5 seconds. When Dozer is active, Carnation slows down by 90%. This trait is also shared with Sorrow. The word "Dozer" means a sleepy person, a person who often takes naps. This word greatly describes Dozer as it seems to be sleeping when it spawns.
