Yume Nikki:List of Characters

There are many different characters in Yume Nikki, some more reactive than others. However, as opposed to patterns in the background, characters will either move, react to Madotsuki or do both. Note: None of the characters, excluding Madotsuki, have been given official names. All dream characters were named by the fan community.

Effect Characters

These characters give effects when interacted with

Shitai-san (Corpse)

A dead man on the street. Interacting with him gives the Stoplight effect, an obvious reference to traffic accident deaths.

Medamaude

A hand with an eye on its palm. Interacting with it gives the Medamaude effect.

Frog

A frog which gives the effect of the same name when interacted with. Two can be found in the game.

Ghost

Small one-eyed ghosts who give ghost themed effects. The cyclops ghost in Dark World has no effect, and instead follows Madotsuki. The ghost without a face gives the 'Nopperabou' effect, and the ghost with the pursed lips in the Ghost World gives the 'Triangle Kerchief' effect.

Mini-Lamp

A small street lamp with feet where a pole would be. Interacting with it gives the Lamp Effect.

Mouth Creature

Usually appearing where there is a small blood puddle on the floor, these characters are simply a large round creature with a large mouth and hair. Interacting with one gives you its respective hairstyle. Specifically the effects that can be obtained from these are Long Hair, Poop Hair, and Blonde Hair .
