Huggy Wuggy

A creation of the late Playtime Co. in 1984, the toy also doubled as an unethical experiment in acting as the facility's main security force. After an incident in 1995 however, he and many other of his fellow experiments rampaged through the area, soon turning it into a derelict husk of death. As one of the main antagonists and the mascot of 2021 horror game Poppy's Playtime, the player was frequently hunted by the bizarre long-armed invention. Now Huggy Wuggy has wandered into Nowhere, ready to play some hide and seek.

Overview
Huggy Wuggy is a tall, lanky, puppet-like creature with deep black eyes and long red lips. He is a Patrol-Type terror with a notably slow gait, walking on two legs with a below-average patrol speed. What makes the terror notable is its intense chase speed. When he spots his prey, he breaks into a sprint on all fours, suddenly flipping its speed from one of the slowest to one of the fastest amongst non- terrors.

How to Survive
Huggy Wuggy is a terror that rewards observation and reaction. He is not a killer you can simply run around and run away from. If he sees you, the only thing saving you is a corner, a weapon, or a defensive item. You cannot outspeed Huggy Wuggy in a normal encounter. It is best to hide and move locations frequently when you can discern it is close.

Do note that Huggy Wuggy has very soft audio cues, only in the form of soft plushy footsteps. However, his large stature makes him a big beacon when in large expanses. Always keep track of where he is and where he is going by checking what direction he is walking, and know that you don't always have to be constantly moving.

Map Strategies
Overall, Huggy Wuggy is often easiest when in a map where you can see Huggy before it can see you. Larger maps with good sight-lines like Personalized Towers and Hell are your best bets against it, as it will be mostly be wasting time in patrol state while you are able to see it from a mile away. Conversely, smaller maps with tight chokes and close sight-lines like Sewer and Innyume will often spell your doom if you don't pay attention.

Cluttered, maze-like maps like Backrooms and It's Maze is a bit of a double-edged sword. Maps like these give lots of walls to hide behind overall, and its pathing often makes sure that Huggy is going to take a lot of time navigating it. That said, it also has the potential to hide him just as well, turning every corner into a potential deathtrap where a neabry Huggy is lurking.

Items Match-Ups
Weaponry is your best bet against the terror; base speed can very easily outrun a patrolling Huggy, but by the time it sees you, a coil will most likely not help you. Both the gun and the bat can help you here, but have differing strategies. The gun is good for overall stalling the beast, making its low patrol speed even lower, or just adding a bit more time on the clock when you see it round a corner. Alternatively, the bat is good for smacking it when it catches you off guard. Using a bat gives you a lifeline in the chances that it does see you and makes a break for you.

Trivia

 * Huggy Wuggy is from *Poppy's Playtime*, a first-person horror game initially released in October 12, 2021. Namely, he was the head antagonist of the series' Chapter 1 release, along with one of the playable killers of the spinoff Project: Playtime
 * Its April Fools name of Poppy Playtime is most likely because of the fact that despite the namesake of the series being a doll of the same name who has notable story presence, Huggy is arguably the de-facto face of the series, no doubt to the game's initial Chapter 1 release heavily involving Huggy.
