Horror games thrive on terrifying villains, and Poppy Playtime delivers some of the creepiest. Among them, Miss Delight stands out—not just for her horrifying appearance, but for her heartbreaking backstory. Once a beloved teacher, she’s now a bloodthirsty predator lurking in the shadows of Playcare.

But what happened to her? Why does she freeze when you look at her? And why did CatNap lock her away? Let’s uncover the dark secrets behind Poppy Playtime’s most tragic monster.

Who Is Miss Delight? From Teacher to Terror

Miss Delight wasn’t always a monster. Before the horrors of Playtime Co., she was one of eight identical teachers in Playcare, designed to educate and nurture children. She had a gentle, doll-like appearance—until something went terribly wrong.

When the factory collapsed into chaos, the teachers were abandoned. Starving and forgotten, Miss Delight lost her sanity. Now, she roams the halls of Playcare, hunting anyone who crosses her path—especially the player.

What Makes Her So Terrifying?

Miss Delight isn’t just another mindless killer. Her design and behavior make her one of the most unique (and frightening) enemies in Poppy Playtime:

  • She Moves Like a Weeping Angel – Inspired by Doctor Who’s infamous monsters, she only moves when you’re not looking at her. Glance away for even a second, and she’ll lunge forward.

  • Her Weapon: The Bident – This sharp, two-pronged spear was once a teaching tool. Now? It’s her weapon of choice.

  • Her Unsettling Appearance – With her cracked porcelain face, unnerving smile, and towering height (around 7-8 feet tall), she’s pure nightmare fuel.

What Happened to Miss Delight?

The real tragedy of Miss Delight is how she became a monster. Unlike Huggy Wuggy or Kissy Missy, she wasn’t designed to be evil—she was driven to madness.

  • Abandoned & Starving – When Playtime Co. fell, the teachers were left behind with no food or escape.

  • Driven to Cannibalism – Desperate, she ate the other teachers, leaving only herself and one other surviving sister (seen in Chapter 3).

  • Locked Away by CatNap – Even CatNap, the game’s sinister cult leader, saw her as too dangerous and imprisoned her.
