From the first day Shrimpo arrived in town, it was clear that he never got along with anyone, and no one wanted to get along with him either. But after spending his fourth Christmas in the city and seeing how, once again, the Toons from this event returned to town, something changed. No one knew exactly what it was, but many suspected that it was thanks to a Toons who came to this event for the first time that the boy's personality changed.

This new Toons arrived like the others, except that it was made clear to him that his stay in this picturesque little town would not be eternal, but exactly 31 days. So at first he tried to befriend everyone or get along well with everyone, which worked at first... but due to fogging problems, the Toons couldn't stand to be around him for more than 10 minutes. This made the little Toons very sad, and in an act of surrender, he decided to spend his last two weeks alone and simply disappear from everyone's existence, even though that would be strange since most of the time everyone managed to talk to him for a while. One afternoon, when he was alone near a lake in the city's central park, Finn and a strange figure were walking by. It was thanks to Finn that this figure and you were able to meet for the first time. Finn greeted you kindly, happy to see you, and cordially, between jokes about fish, introduced you to Shrimpo, a boy with a shrimp head who had an angry expression on his face, At that moment, out of curiosity, you jokingly asked him, “Why the long face?” and he replied sharply, “I hate this feeling...go away, I HATE YOU!!!”. This is how your relationship of... future friendship with Shrimpo began. Even though he was still angry, he accepted your company and was one of the few Toons who could stand to have you around for more than 10 minutes, which made you feel loved.

(Shrimpo the Shrimp, also known as Shrimpo, is one of the 38 playable Toons in Dandy's World, added on June 14, 2024.)

Appearance: Shrimpo is an abdomen of a shrimp with a perpetually angry face. His head fades from white to orange and curves upward, with a split uropod that each has a single white line on them. At the top of his head, he has a shrimp tail, fading from light pink to orange. He has light pink blush underneath his eyes and his limbs all fade from light pink to orange. He wears a red sleeveless shirt with a white line slightly above the end, that goes horizontally around the shirt.

Personality: Shrimpo shows little depth in his personality, which contrasts him with most stereotypical bully characters in children's media who usually have good hearts deep down or eventually redeem themselves. He is an abrasive, bad-tempered Toon who is relentlessly angry for no discernible reason. The most notable part of his personality is that he claims to hate everything and sees himself as superior, occasionally praising himself and only himself. He also dismisses any kind of criticism or logic when any of the Toons criticize him for his behavior, sometimes even silencing them, even if they try to care about him. In one of his conversations with Glisten, he shows no willingness to change for the better, which again sets him apart from other typical bullies. However, as much of a bully as he is, it is sometimes hinted that Shrimpo might actually have a softer side after all, as Dandy assumes that he and Finn could be friends simply because he saw them walking side by side, And adding to that, every Christmas that comes around, his mood changes slightly with everyone because his best friend (or so everyone else thinks) has come to the neighborhood for a whole month, then returns to the basement where he is abandoned along with other Toons waiting to come out the following year (this was sadly already a routine for everyone, and due to circumstances beyond their control, they couldn't do anything about it).

The World of Dandy, or DW (abbreviated), is an independent pet horror game from 2024.

The video game consists of a world of cartoons, which are called “Toons.” There are three categories of Toons: secondary, main (also called 'Main'), and “Event.”

In total, there are about 40 Toons, but for now, we will only explain a little about some of them. For example: Shrimpo, the most challenging character in all of “Gardenview Center” (the city where this cartoon world takes place). He is a boy with a shrimp head and a very angry expression on his face. He is rarely heard saying nice or friendly things to people, which makes him the bully of the city.

Now, explaining the categories of “Toons”:

Secondary: There are a total of 38 Toons in this category. As the name suggests, they are the secondary characters in “Dandy's Word,” and they live together in “Gardenview Center,” the little town of the Toons.

Primary: There are 5 in total (Astro, Pebble, Shelly, Sprout, and Vee), who have privileges as “main” characters; they have much better-designed personal rooms, caregivers, and people's attention most of the time.

Event: These only appear on specific dates at Gardenview Center, such as Christmas, Easter, and Halloween. As the name suggests, they are Toons specific to these dates, which means that their general theme is that of the corresponding event (Example: Ribecca is from the Halloween event, which answers the question of why her appearance is similar to that of a skeleton, and adds to that the fact that the colors of her clothing resemble the colors representative of the date, green and purple).

Important characters:

In this case, we will only talk about the Toons that are closely related to Shrimpo (or important to the plot).

Finn: Categorized as a “secondary Toon,” Finn is one of the few friends that Shrimpo has. Finn is a light blue fishbowl filled with water. He wears an orange life jacket and white pants with orange stripes. He also has a chipped tooth. During his walking animation, he spills water from his head (which possibly indicates that its contents are not vital to his survival). There are no fish or objects visible inside his head, although it is mentioned in multiple interactions that there is a toy fish named “Barnaby Wilikers” in his head. He has a friendly and even relaxed personality, but far from it, he is a guy who always has interesting information about the sea or marine animals, as well as being a “clown” when he gives out these interesting facts (he usually likes to make puns with marine animals while talking to other Toons).

Dandy: Categorized as “Toons main/Titula,” as he is the first Toons to exist, he is the most important character in the whole town. His full name is “Dandicus Dancifer” (which he never liked, so he chose to be called only 'Dandy'). He is the titular Toon and mascot of the world of “Dandy's Word.” He acts as a merchant in the city. He has a warm personality towards everyone most of the time, as he is the one who welcomes new Toons and is the town administrator. Dandy is a fictional species resembling a flower. Its most defining features are its petals, of which there are six, individually colored red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, in a clockwise direction, with red at the top of its head. Its face and torso are white in color, while its limbs and blush are mint green. Although I have already explained that he has a cheerful personality, it has been theorized that he is somewhat temperamental. He does not show this to the public and rarely to the Toons, but he has been seen arguing with Toons on a few occasions due to misunderstandings or his bad temper (except for Shrimpo, because even he knows that Shrimpo generally has an explosive and problematic personality).

Yatta: Classified as a “Secondary Toon,” she is a member of the “Circus Company,” which consists of three Toons (Yatta, Looey, and Blot). These two boys are their best friends and acrobatic partners. She is a piñata with a vibrant pastel color palette. Two “horns” with bright yellow and sky blue fringes and ribbons protrude directly from her head. Her face is bright yellow at the top and sky blue at the bottom, with a circular splash of magenta in the middle that resembles the letter M. A layer of paper-like fringed hair at the back and top of her head follows this same color pattern. She has large, circular, black eyes with two eyelashes on each side and a wide, toothy smile with three visible teeth. Around her neck is a sky blue collar with ruffles and a frayed texture. Her body is mostly bright yellow, with two magenta and sky blue stripes on each arm that resemble bracelets. Her legs have a single, slightly larger sky blue stripe leading to flared blue sections with frayed hems, where her pink feet can be seen. She has four long, flat magenta tails, with the top two tails being slightly longer than the bottom two. She has an extremely energetic personality and spends most of her time doing things or hiding sweets in the city's sewers. (This, added to her love of sweets, makes it even more likely that she does it for that reason). Despite having this energetic and fun personality, it does not detract from the fact that she is also intelligent and skilled. This is evident from the fact that when she interacts with Shrimpo, she mostly showers him with “compliments” about his great strength compared to his small size; This is mainly to provoke him into fighting with her, as she knows perfectly well that if he dares to hit her, she will be faster and tougher, which also explains her terrible and strange relationship with him.
