New Characters!
Alongside some new locations in the Maw, Little Nightmares 2 is set to introduce some latest characters as well. As mentioned before, Six’s companion Mono will be the highlight of the second part. Yet, aside from him, players will get to fight some of the creepiest characters on the game ever. Here are some details about them.
Mono
In a recent Tweet, the creators revealed some details about the most-anticipated character of Little Nightmares 2. Mono is described as an uncommonly single-minded young child. He is quite purposeful and stubborn to achieve his goals. When he sets himself to a task, Mono rarely gives up before it’s completed for good.
The character appears to be a young boy who is either shy or unwilling to show his personality. Hence, he wears different objects on his head, out of which the most prominent is a paper bag with two eye holes. Mono carries a large key that might have an important story. As of the trailer, he looks quite strong as he carries weapons to defend himself from the enemies. He is also the main protagonist of Little Nightmares 2, alongside Six.
The Teacher & Her Students
The creators of the famous horror game have added another creepy character to the new season. The Teacher will make an uncanny appearance in Little Nightmares 2. As per an official tweet, the educator has an unusual ability to detect troublemakers. Her class is full of well-behaved children, and it won’t be easy to escape under her eye. According to a fan theory, these children can be the ones who were mummified by the Janitor.
The Hunter, The Viewers & The Broadcasters
The Hunter is yet another brand new addition in the creepy character list of the game. As per his official description, the Hunter seems to work alone while stalking the wilderness with a rusty shotgun and lantern-style torch. Well, his motives still lie unknown, but he seems to have an interest in Taxidermy, which doesn’t sound good for the children. The creators are yet to define the Viewers and the Broadcasters.
