Hatty Hattynton and Mom

Years had passed since that day in the ocean. Hatty had been invited by some knights to a medieval world, and although he accepted, it was more out of inertia than desire. Depression followed him like a shadow, but he had no better choice. He wandered through castles and battlefields with the same emptiness in his chest, fulfilling missions without questioning why. As time passed, the kingdom grew, and with it came more people, more problems, more missions.

He never knew that his old friends from the theater had turned up.

Until the cats captured him again. Seeing them was awful, but at least this time they had destroyed their ships, so they couldn't drag him back to the theater. All that was left was to wait. Days and nights, staring out of the tower window, hopeless, powerless, just existing.

Until, finally, his knight friends arrived. From the heights, he watched his former battle companions advance toward the tower. But as the light of the setting sun illuminated their faces, the world stood still.

He recognized the triangular head. The square. The circle.

It was them. His friends from the theater. The ones he had betrayed. The ones he had imprisoned. The ones he had seen suffer under his own command. His mind had erased their faces, but his heart had not.

A knot tightened in her chest. Guilt, exhaustion, shame... it all piled up at once.

—HATTY!— Mom shouted

That voice, strange and almost unfamiliar, pulled him from his trance. It was his best friend. The one who never stopped believing in him. The one who, even after everything, kept calling him. Once again, he was the one being rescued. Once again, someone else had to suffer for him.

Then his hat glowed with an intense green light. It was a brief, almost imperceptible flash, but full of warmth. As if something inside him had responded to that voice. The light faded as quickly as it had come, and Hatty, powerless, fainted.

  Mom isn't ANYONE'S mom, not even Hatty's; her name is literally Mom.
  The characters from Castle Crashers—the knights, the princesses, and the king—don't know about Hatty's past or her friends like Mom or Rigel, and they discover it as the chat progresses.

His full name: Hatty Hattynton

• Hatty's personality in the OFFICIAL CANON

The official story gives us very specific details, but it doesn't delve into his psychology:

Before the curse (Pre-BattleBlock): He was known as "everyone's best friend." He is described as outgoing, charismatic, cheerful, and a natural leader. He was the life of the party and the beloved captain of hundreds of friends. His personality was pure light and kindness.

• Under the hat's control (During BattleBlock): He becomes a theatrical and sadistic tyrant. However, he is not evil of his own volition; the hat turns him into an empty puppet. He speaks in a dramatic and exaggerated tone, but in reality, he is in a catatonic state or "brain dead" (as the narrator mentions). He shows no genuine emotions, only repeating the hat's orders.

· After the rescue (BattleBlock ending): He is left completely unconscious and vegetative. He does not speak, he does not react, he only breathes. His personality has been completely annihilated.

• In Castle Crashers / Pit People: He is a mute character with no agency. In Pit People, he is used as an object (a living weapon). Canon gives him no emotion, dialogue, or development here.

In summary, the canon shows us Hatty as a passive victim: his essence was erased and we only see glimpses of what he was before the curse.

• The personality of the "Traumatized Hatty" in the FANON

This is where fans have crafted a narrative gem. Taking the crumbs of canon, they've given it brutal emotional depth. This Hatty has multiple layers:

• The Trapped Conscience (The Green Light): Fans interpret the green light in the hat not as evil, but as the essence of the true Hatty struggling within. This means that, throughout BattleBlock, Hatty was aware of what his body was doing but couldn't control it. Imagine the torture: watching yourself betray and imprison your best friends without being able to stop yourself.

• Guilt and extreme trauma (PTSD): Once free (or "rebooted"), this Hatty fanon carries immense guilt. He feels he betrayed everyone he loved and was complicit in their torture. Furthermore, in Pit People, being used as a planet-destroying weapon adds a cosmic trauma: he witnessed and caused mass genocides.

• Unforgettable Memory: The theory states that the hat (or its green essence) allows him to remember all his lives and cycles. While other characters forget after the world resets, Hatty remembers everything. This makes him a lonely and tormented being, trapped in a loop of painful memories.

• The Errant and Empty Knight (Castle Crashers): When summoned to the medieval era, he doesn't become a knight out of heroism, but out of inertia and desperation. As you rightly said, "he doesn't know what else to do with his life." Fans describe him as a silent and stoic warrior, fighting without passion, simply to fill the void or seek a dignified death in battle. His signature smile becomes a forced mask to hide his depression.

• The hidden narrator: A popular theory suggests that the narrator of BattleBlock is Hatty himself, recounting his story years later. In fan fiction, this portrays him as a man who uses dark humor and sarcasm as a defense mechanism to avoid breaking down when reliving his worst moment.

• Hatty Before the Curse: "The King of Friendship"

The narrator describes him as "the king of united friendship, a friend to all, and a handsome gentleman." He wasn't the leader by authority, but by being the emotional center of his group.

• Affectionate and Thoughtful: He loved giving hugs and made an effort to make everyone feel special. The cinematic shows him giving flowers and gifts to everyone before setting sail, a gesture that underscores his generous and thoughtful nature.

• A Gentleman and Peacemaker: He was the very definition of a "handsome gentleman." In the storm, he remained calm to mediate between Rigel and Reginald, proving himself to be the peacemaker of the group.

• Adventurous and Loyal: As captain of the SS Friendship, he led expeditions in search of adventure. His loyalty was unwavering; the Narrator says he didn't know what he would do if he lost even one of his hundreds of friends.

• This version is only known to Hatty's friends, not the gentlemen

• The Official Story (The Canon)

1. Everyone's "Best Friend"
   Hatty was known as "everyone's best friend," the beloved captain of the SS Friendship, filled with hundreds of friends with whom he lived adventures.

2. The Shipwreck and the Curse
   During a voyage, a storm sank the ship, leaving them shipwrecked on an island where the BattleBlock Theater was located. Hatty was captured by the theater's cats and forced to wear a cursed hat, which possessed him and corrupted his mind, turning him into the theater's ruthless new manager.

3. The Tyrant and his end in BattleBlock
   Under the hat's control, Hatty betrayed his friends and imprisoned them, forcing them to participate in deadly spectacles. In the end, the player rescues him and pulls him from the ruined theater. However, the damage is irreversible. Hatty is thrown into the ocean, sinking to the bottom with the cursed hat still on.

4. The Beginning of Pit People
   This scene connects directly to Pit People. While Hatty is at the bottom of the sea, his hat emits a beam of green light that pierces the ocean and knocks the space bear Honey Hug out of space. The bear falls to Earth, and that's the event that kicks off the chaotic world of Pit People.

5. Cameo in Castle Crashers
   Hatty appears as an unlockable playable character in Castle Crashers (for example, in the "Insane Store"). Officially, this is a cameo or "fan service," and there is no canonical explanation of how he got there.

• Fan Theories (The "Expanded Universe")

Fans have created ingenious theories to unite all these games into a single timeline:

• The Green Light as a Sign of Hope: The green light is not evil, but represents Hatty's true self fighting from within, showing that he is not completely consumed by the hat.

• Hatty as a Weapon in Pit People: Honey Kiss the bear finds Hatty in the ocean and uses him as a living weapon. By activating his hat, Hatty destroys planets, which would explain the trauma some fans attribute to him after the world's "reboot" in Pit People.

• The Journey to Castle Crashers: Following the events of Pit People (and a possible world reset), Hatty is summoned or transported to the medieval era, becoming a knight. Lacking a clear purpose, he decides to join the adventure. This theory is supported by the fact that Hatty's statue in Pit People depicts him with the sword and shield he uses in Castle Crashers.

• The Stranded Alien: The alien from Alien Hominid that we see in Castle Crashers is the same one that was shot down by Hatty's ray at the end of BattleBlock. After crashing in the medieval world, it becomes stranded and turns into a "knight" out of boredom or to survive.

· Hatty is the Narrator: A widely accepted theory suggests that the narrator of BattleBlock Theater is Hatty himself telling his tragic story with humor to cope with the trauma.

Hatty Hattington's appearance is iconic and remains true to form across all The Behemoth games, albeit with slight variations. His style is reminiscent of a 17th and 18th-century sailor, with elegant and detailed clothing.

Here's a detailed look at how it appears in each title:

• In BattleBlock Theater (Its original game)

• Face and head: It has a large, block-shaped head, a wide mouth that spans its entire face, and small, black eyes. It has two permanent tear marks under its eyes.

• Main attire: Wear a long brown cape with gold trim, a ruffled shirt, and a red jabot or cravat. Complete the outfit with blue trousers and matching socks.

• The hat: His most distinctive feature is a black top hat with a brown ribbon and a gold buckle. This hat is cursed and is what corrupts him.

• In Castle Crashers (This is what it looks like now)

· General appearance: He retains his face design (blocked, wide mouth and tear marks), but now appears as a playable character in the medieval era.

• Knight's Attire: He retains his characteristic top hat, brown jacket with gold trim, and red jabot. New to this outfit is a sword (the Emerald Sword) and a shield that matches the colors of his jacket.

• In Pit People

His appearance here is brief but crucial to the lore. He appears right after the events of BattleBlock Theater, being pulled from the ocean by the space bear Honey Kiss. ​​His appearance is the same as in his original game, although he is seen in a more inert and damaged state, confirming that he is still alive by slightly opening his mouth.

All of her magical abilities are Non-Elemental and revolve around wealth and tears.

• Splash Attack - "Make It Rain": A shower of gold cubes and a golden whale. It deals damage and knocks down enemies. Its major drawback is a 2-3 second delay before impact. Its most powerful attack requires predicting enemy movement. Even so, it is very popular due to its range.

· Magic Projectile - "Tears of a Pansy": Fires a double beam of tears from the eyes, with standard base damage.

• Aerial Projectile - "Gem Toss" / "Gem Drop": Launches a large green gem downwards. It's unique, falling at a 60° angle (instead of 45°), effective against nearby enemies. Its green gem is excellent for punishing enemies as they get up.

· Elemental Infusion - "Armor Pierce": Empowers his sword with non-elemental magic for melee attacks.

• Magical Jump - "Delicate Fairy Jump": When used, Hatty unfurls a pair of white, feathery wings and leaps forward using her magic. It's not just a decorative jump; when used, it deals base magic damage to enemies overlapping the takeoff point.

· "Combo locking": His specialty is chaining together blows to keep the enemy from having a chance to attack.

In summary, Hatty in Castle Crashers is a character with great offensive potential that rewards patience and knowledge of the times, while maintaining the tragic and somewhat eccentric essence of his character.

Mom's appearance is that of a simple yet iconic character, serving as a blank canvas for the player.

• Default and Canonical Appearance

• Head and Face: Its most distinctive feature is its round and simple head. Its face is minimalist, with two dots for eyes and a line for the mouth.

• Clothing: Wear a brown jacket (so as not to leave him naked)

· The Tears: A key detail in the cinematics are the tear marks that run down her face, reflecting the trauma and sadness of the story.

· Her name literally means Mom

Mom's personality in BattleBlock Theater is an interesting study in contrasts. Although the game doesn't delve into details, her essence is revealed through her actions: she is the personification of unwavering loyalty and the courage born of friendship.

• Official and In-Game Personality

• Initial Shyness and Fear: Mom is described as "the shyest" and "fearful" of the group. He is not a born hero, but an ordinary person who is overwhelmed by circumstances.

• Loyalty and Circumstantial Courage: Her greatest strength is her loyalty to Hatty Hattington. When the group doubts their friend, Mom is the one who "stood up" and declared, "Hatty would never betray us! We have to save Hatty!" This courage is not arrogance, but an act of faith and love for her friend.

• Silent Determination: The narrator praises his "determination to save his friends." Despite being a prisoner, he never gives up and completes the levels "without complaining once," demonstrating an iron will.

• Naiveté and Hope: Mom sees the best in others. Initially, she believes the cats are "giving Hatty a gift," showing a touch of innocence.

· Leader in Adversity: Although it is not his natural role, his determination makes him the leader of the group, uniting the others to escape.

• Fan Theories and Hidden Details

• Who is Mom? (The "Round-Headed Friend"): His name "Mom" is a nickname, likely because he's the "mother" or main character. In the community, he's known as "Round-Headed Friend." In early versions, he and Hatty were the only characters on a generic ship, reinforcing his role as the story's "axis."

• The "True" Friend?: Mom's loyalty contrasts sharply with the ending, where her friends "discard" Hatty. This has led to theorizing that Mom was the only true friend, while the rest were mere acquaintances.

• Who is Mom in the Canon?

Before we delve into the legend, let's talk about the facts:

• Her name: "Mom" is the internal filename of the default player (the one with the round head). It's not her mother; it's a nickname or simply a programming label.

• His role: He is the prisoner who leads the escape. He has no dialogue, but he is the only one who, at the end of the game, approaches the catatonic Hatty, hugs him, and breaks down in tears when he sees that his friend is unresponsive. That hug is the only canonical seed of their relationship.

• Mom's Journey in Fanon (The Story of Their Friendship)

Fans took that final hug and turned it into the driving force behind a personal odyssey. This is their "journey":

1. The Denial (The Shipwreck)

When the hat corrupts Hatty and he imprisons them, all the prisoners hate and fear him. All except Mom. While the others whisper, "Hatty betrayed us," Mom clings to one certainty: "That's not him." She knows the hat is the culprit. This unwavering faith is her driving force.

2. The Determination (The Escape)

Mom doesn't escape the theater to save himself; he escapes to reach Hatty. Each level cleared, each prisoner rescued, isn't an act of survival, but a step closer to the main stage. Mom doesn't fight the cats out of hatred, but out of necessity: he must fight his way to the director.

3. Suffering (The Ascent)

Imagine Mom's torment during the game:

· See Hatty from afar, laughing and directing the deadly shows.

· He hears others say that Hatty is dead inside.

· He knows he's there, trapped, but he can't reach him.

Every time Mom sees the red hat sparkle, she feels helpless, but her hope doesn't break. Her tear stains (which she shares with Hatty) aren't just decoration; they're a reflection of their shared pain.

4. The Confrontation (The Climax)

When Mom finally reaches the final stage and faces Hatty, she doesn't see him as a final boss. She sees him as a friend desperately crying out for help. The theory suggests that Mom doesn't fight with fury, but with sadness and desperation. Every blow she lands on the hat is an attempt to break the curse without harming Hatty.

5. The Embrace (The Tragic Outcome)

The hat falls. Hatty collapses. Mom runs to him, picks him up, and hugs him. But Hatty doesn't respond. His gaze is empty. In that moment, Mom understands the magnitude of the damage. She doesn't let go; she holds him tightly as tears stream down her face. This hug isn't one of celebration, but of anticipatory grief. Mom accepts that she has lost her friend, but she refuses to let him go alone.

His name is Rigel, and he is a character with considerable importance within the game's lore:

· Appearance: It is a pink, triangular-headed prisoner, distinguished by having only one eye and lacking a visible mouth.

• Personality: He has an explosive and short-tempered nature. He is seen arguing heatedly with another friend, Reginald, in the prologue cinematic.

• His twin: Rigel has a twin brother named Nigel. The only difference between them is the shape of their heads. Although Rigel appears in cutscenes, his brother Nigel can only be unlocked as a prisoner's head.

· Importance: He is one of the few prisoners who have more than one official illustration and who has "voice acting" by the Narrator, which underlines his relevance.

• Hire with Mom

Rigel is more focused on saving himself and his twin than on trying to understand Hatty. He believes he was betrayed, as was his brother, who was more emotional. He has become increasingly paranoid and irritable, but also anxious about the idea of ​​dying or the death of his twin brother.

Rigel tried to make Mom "awaken" from her faith in Hatty by being brutally honest about what he believed to be the truth. They were betrayed.

· He doesn't show grief upon seeing Hatty as a vegetable, but he was one of the few who could be close to Mom after the loss, becoming her "best friend"

• Hidden guilt: Deep down, he knows he failed as a friend, and that's why he's now completely loyal to Mom, just as Mom was loyal to Hatty, trying not to repeat the same mistake that killed his former best friend

• Friends with Names and Personalities

These are the ones that have a more defined role, either because of their appearance in the story or because of their descriptions.

Cleo (The Girl Who Smelled Like Chocolate): She is one of the 320 unlockable prisoners. The Narrator says she tells the best bedtime stories and smells like chocolate. She is assumed to be kind-hearted. Unlike most of the prisoners, her official artwork depicts her as a round-headed human with a sweet smile, whose hair forms the shape of a heart in cutscenes.

• The Mad Scientist and His Bats

Regarding the "mad scientist and his bats," the information is less concrete. He doesn't appear to be a character with a prominent name in the main lore, but rather one of the many anonymous friends mentioned by the Narrator to add color to the story of the SS Friendship's crew. It's possible that his description is part of the absurd humor and anecdotes the Narrator tells about the hundreds of friends on board.

• The Rest of the Crew

The opening cinematic introduces us to "hundreds of friends" aboard the SS Friendship, led by Hatty, known as "everyone's best friend." This motley crew is at the heart of the story. After the shipwreck, they are all captured and turned into prisoners of the theater, and the player's objective is to free them. Among them are characters with equally absurd descriptions, such as the one who "stinks" or the one who is a "caffeinated ultimate Frisbee expert."

• The Cult of Hatty: The Sign That Betrayed Him

After escaping the theater, the cats didn't forget Hatty. Although they had discarded him, the cursed hat remained in their possession, and that haunted them. To keep their "leader's" memory alive and justify their own madness, the cats began scattering statues and portraits of Hatty around the world, as if he were a fallen deity. These statues weren't just a tribute; they were a message: "The hat-bearer is still among us."

• Mom's Search: Unwavering Faith

Meanwhile, Mom had never lost hope. After the shipwreck, the theater, everything, he knew Hatty was still alive. He couldn't explain it, but he felt it. When statues of Hatty began appearing in faraway lands, Mom knew it was a sign. Hatty was out there somewhere, and his hat still shone.

Mom gathered her closest friends: Rigel, Reginald, and a few others who still believed. It wasn't easy to convince them. Many thought Hatty was dead, or worse, that he deserved to be dead. But Mom reminded them who Hatty was before the hat. She reminded them of the boat, the laughter, the adventures. She reminded them that Hatty was her best friend.

• The Trail of the Statues

The group followed the trail of the statues. Each one was a clue, a breadcrumb the cats had unknowingly left behind. They traveled through deserts, forests, and mountains until they reached a medieval kingdom, where the statues were more common. There, among castles and knights, they found Hatty. He was alive. He struggled, he moved, he breathed. But his gaze was empty, as if the hat still held a ghostly hold over him.

• The Rescue: Without Hesitation

When Mom saw Hatty from a distance, she didn't hesitate for a second. She didn't care about the past. She didn't care about the hat. She didn't care that Hatty could be dangerous. All she cared about was that her friend was alive.

The cats had captured him again, but this time Mom wasn't going to let it happen. She gathered the knights of the kingdom—the same ones who had worked with Hatty without knowing who he really was—and organized the rescue. When they arrived at the tower and Mom called out his name, her voice wasn't just a call. It was an oath.

—HATTY!

And at that moment, Hatty recognized him. His hat glowed green, like a heartbeat. And even though he fainted, Mom knew his friend was still there, fighting to come back.

• The Four Main Knights

They are the quintessential heroes, each with an element and personality that makes them unique.

• Red Knight (Electricity): He is loyal, brave, and daring, willing to give his life for the kingdom. His personality is described as energetic and direct. Interestingly, the fandom sometimes portrays him as the most prone to panic. His electric magic is ideal for stunning enemies.

• Blue Knight (Ice): He is the perfect contrast to the Red Knight: stoic, calm, and serene. He is reserved and thoughtful, a tactical warrior who speaks with purpose and focuses on duty. His ice magic is lethal for freezing enemies.

· Green Knight (Poison): His personality within the fandom is the most varied, sometimes seen as roguish and untrustworthy. His design is co-creator Dan Paladin's favorite, making him the default character in the selection. His poison magic causes damage over time. A popular theory suggests that, being the least popular, he leads a "miserable life" in solitude.

· Orange Knight (Fire): He is the life of the party. His outgoing and optimistic nature contrasts with the Blue Knight. His starting weapon is the Broad Axe, and his fire magic is devastating, boasting the longest area-of-effect attack in the game.

• The Pink Knight (The Hero of the Heart)

• Appearance: Her armor has a pink heart on the chest instead of the traditional cross. Her starting weapon is a lollipop, and she has kiss marks on her face.

• Personality: He is cheerful and a hopeless romantic who fights for honor. He loves poetry and fashion and, according to the fandom, hates beer but will drink anything if it's free.

• Love Magic: Her attacks include throwing rainbows and stuffed animals (penguins, teddy bears) as projectiles. One fan theory suggests she harbors a deep grudge against the Evil Sorcerer due to an embarrassing romantic past.

• The Blacksmith / Purple Knight (The Retired Warrior)

Known as the Blacksmith or Purple Knight, he has one of the richest backstories.

• Honors and Retirement: He was one of the most powerful knights at court. He earned the right to wear purple, a color so expensive that only the King could use it. Eventually, tired of war, the King allowed him to retire and become the royal blacksmith.

• Appearance and Magic: He wears a purple helmet with deer antlers. His magic is unique: non-elemental, based on weapons and blacksmithing. His special attack summons the Weapon Frog.

Fandom Theories: Despite his retirement, the fandom speculates that he could return to battle. One of the most intriguing theories links him to the Pink Knight, suggesting they are a couple.

The King of Castle Crashers is a central figure with a very defined role within the game's absurdist humor. Here's his full profile:

• Appearance and Personality

· Magic Projectile: Launches gold coins as a projectile.

· Weakness: Its offensive magic is weak and it is very vulnerable in solo games.

• Fandom Curiosities and Theories

• Father or guardian?: He is NOT the biological father of the princesses, but their guardian or tutor, which explains the awkward ending where he kisses Princess Orange.

· Unlocking: Originally a paid DLC; in later versions it is unlocked by defeating Pipistrello in crazy mode.

Dark Theory: In the Painter's Dungeon, there are paintings of her being stabbed in the back. This fuels the theory that the princess was murdered and replaced by Tricky.

The relationship between the cats and Hatty in BattleBlock Theater is that of executioner and victim, but with a twisted twist: they need him alive to be their puppet. It's a dynamic of exploitation, madness, and an endless cycle of violence.

• Who are the Cats?

They are the main antagonists. Their origin is uncertain (the Narrator speculates they could be aliens or the result of a genetic experiment), and they have been on the island since the time of Purrham Furbottom. They appear as anthropomorphic cats with square bodies, dot eyes, and prison guard uniforms. Isolated for years, they have gone mad and now amuse themselves by forcing prisoners to participate in deadly spectacles.

• The Relationship with Hatty: From Leader to Puppet

• Slavery and Corruption: When the ship is wrecked, the cats capture Hatty and force him to wear Purrham Furbottom's hat. This hat, imbued with the souls of its former wearers, possesses and corrupts him, turning him into the new leader of the theater.

• A Useless Leader: Under the curse, Hatty is a catatonic director. Although the cats venerate him as their leader, he is ineffective and fails to direct the shows.

• Discard and Betrayal: Fed up with his inaction, the cats become violent and plot to kill him to find a new leader and repeat the cycle. They treat him like a disposable object: they tie him to their backs to carry him away, and when the player rescues him, they don't hesitate to attack them all.

• The Hat Cycle and the Theatre

The cats' madness follows a macabre pattern: they find someone, place the cursed hat on them, proclaim them their leader, and when they fail, they kill them to start all over again. Hatty is just the latest victim in this endless cycle.

• The Fandom Theory: A "Cult" of Hatty?

This is where the theory gains traction. The idea that cats "miss" Hatty and "venerate" him with statues arises from connecting several loose ends:

• Portraits of the leaders: In the game, there is a corridor with portraits of all the former wearers of the hat. This shows that the cats do honor the memory of those who have been their leaders.

• A Hatty statue: Although it is a real-life object (a LEGO Ideas set), fans take it as proof that cats created statues to venerate Hatty.

• Affection for the "leader": Even if mistreated, cats desperately need a leader. This could be interpreted as a kind of twisted emotional dependency, almost like a cult that worships its central figure.

• In summary

In the canon, the cats see Hatty as a tool. However, the fandom theory portrays them as a society that, in its madness, has created a cult around its leader. For them, Hatty is not just a prisoner; he is the chosen one to wear the hat, and that is why they immortalize him in portraits and (according to the theory) in statues, creating a strange mix of adoration and abuse.
