smiling critters:3

is a popular plush line of colorful animals created by Playtime Co. who are infamous for their giant smiles. The group was teased in Project: Playtime Phase 2 via a poster in the "Destroy-a-Toy" map. Following this, the full toy-line was revealed in the Chapter 3 Interactable ARG. CatNap appears in Chapter 3: Deep Sleep as the main antagonist, while the other monstrous miniature versions appear as secondary antagonists with the exception of DogDay's Bigger Bodies counterpart, although the latter assumes a secondary antagonistic role upon being possessed by the Ruined Critters. Several other characters outside of the Ruined Critters versions have comparatively minor and indirect roles, namely the security statues of Bobby BearHug in Home Sweet Home (one active, one defunct) that serve as minor obstacles to the player and recurring motifs of the chapter that seemingly emphasize the prominence of Hoppy Hopscotch's beneficial traits. The rest of the Smiling Critters cast play minimal role
