Chasers are enemies in Yume 2kki that will try to catch Urotsuki. Most of them will send her to closed-off areas, forcing you to either return to The Nexus or wake up, much like the Toriningen in Yume Nikki.
If you use the Eyeball Bomb effect to return to The Nexus after being caught by a chaser, other chasers will often appear in places where they usually aren't found, and will continue to appear and chase Urotsuki until she is caught.
Some of the chasers can be evaded or warded off with effects like Chainsaw, Fairy, Wolf, Insect, Invisible, or Crossing.
Common Chasers
Shadow Ladies
Shadow Ladies are the main chasers in Yume 2kki and are equivalent to the Toriningen from Yume Nikki. They are found in many places in the dream world and will trap you in a small area or maze you can not get out of.
Special "flat" Shadow Ladies also appear in certain events, which are shaded slightly purple and flat like a cardboard cutout when moving left or right. They also bear a high resemblance to the Gray Man from the game LSD Dream Emulator.
Numerous sane Shadow Ladies appear in the Shadow Lady Estate. They will look towards you if effects are used or if sat next to on seats.
Shadow Ladies appear in many of delta_judgment's areas, along with their Light and yellow-eyed variants.
Clowns
Clowns are another main form of chaser in Yume 2kki, and work much the same as the Shadow Ladies. There are many throughout the dream world, some of them sane and some insane. The laugh they let out when they catch you sounds exactly like Smile-san's laugh. Most of them do not react to the Invisible effect, making them hard to avoid in some cases, however the one who spawns in Marijuana Goddess World will stop chasing you if you use that effect.
One sane clown can be found in one of the rooms of the gray building in Guts World. If you chainsaw it, it will steal your money, and if you don't have any money it will chase you and trap you in an enclosed area like any other Clown. A neutral one can be found in the mirror of Clementine's room in Illuminated Building, where you can transform into it by stepping into the mirror.
Shadow Bird
The Shadow Bird is a large black bird creature with empty red eyes, about as tall as Urotsuki. It chases after you at a fairly average speed and will trap you if it catches you. It appears to be based on the Mothman.
One can be found at the storage complex at the end of the Highway's northeast road, Onyx Tile World, The Baddies Bar, and a harmless one can be found in the Halloween Forest, walking around in a fenced area. More harmless ones can be found in Rice Field and the rooftop of Grape Mall. Light variants can be found in Pale Plateau, and yellow-eyed variants can be seen in Crow's Nest and Pitch Black Plateau.
Shadow Gloop
The Shadow Gloop is a large black blob monster with wiry arms and big red eyes. It chases after you extremely slowly, and is easily outrun by Urotsuki. It has a slight resemblance to Swalot from Pokémon.
One can be found in Purple World, The Baddies Bar, Onyx Tile World, and another can be found in the Intestines Maze. Light variants can be found in Pale Plateau, and yellow-eyed variants can be seen in Pitch Black Plateau. In the Ice Cream Dungeon of Ice Cream Islands, one can summon Shadow Gloops formed of ice cream. A sometimes-imprisoned one can be found in Subterranean Research Center.
Shadow ???
The Shadow ??? is a strange black creature with long grey arms and googly red eyes. It chases after you quite slowly, and is easily outrun by Urotsuki, but can be hard to avoid in small spaces.
One can be found as part of an event in the Highway's restrooms, Onyx Tile World, Tricolor Passage, Lamp Passage, The Baddies Bar, Clawtree Forest, and another can be found in the Intestines Maze. Blue-eyed variants can be seen in Collision World, and yellow-eyed variants can be seen in Pitch Black Plateau. Light variants can be seen in Pale Plateau.
It somewhat resembles the "Hell Valley Sky Trees" from Super Mario Galaxy 2.
Robot Guard
The Robot Guard is a black statuesque creature with red legs and black shoulder pads. It used to guard the Fairy effect in Pokémon World in previous versions.
Three of them can be found around the dream world: one in the lobby of the Black Building (still somewhat guarding the Fairy effect), one in The Baddies Bar, one in the Onyx Tile World, four in Robotic Institution and one in the cargo hold of the Spaceship. Light variants can be found in Pale Plateau, and yellow-eyed variants can be seen in Pitch Black Plateau.
Scary Face
Scary Faces are floating faces with crazy eyes and sharp teeth. They can be found in Blood World, The Baddies Bar and the Stone Maze. If one catches you, you will be sent to an enclosed part of the Stone Maze shaped like a cross or a table surrounded by nails in Blood World.
In the Stone Maze, using the Insect effect will let Urotsuki pass straight through them unharmed.
Shadow Mold
A chaser that appears in Forest Cavern, Funeral Prison, Toxicology Research Facility and Moth Gallery. They can be warded off by equipping the Fairy effect.
Author Chasers
These common chasers are unique in that they usually appear in locations by the same author.
Shadow Gentleman
Found in some of Bean's areas. Attacking the one in the Dice Hotel in Realm of Dice and getting caught will send Urotsuki to an isolated section of the Nefarious Chessboard. A neutral one can be found on the rooftop in Blood Red Beach. Urotsuki can become one of two variants in Foggy Remnants.
Shadow Ninetails
Found in spelude's areas, this chaser is a dark silhouette of Ninetails. One way to encounter them is to chainsaw Ninetails in Red Lily Lake, then re-enter the area and repeat this action seven times, after which they will teleport Urotsuki to the Red Sky Cliff. They can also be encountered in the Fox Temple, where completing a set of conditions will unlock their transformation.
They also appear in Red Lily Lake after killing certain NPCs located across spelude's areas, like the candle creature in Neon Candle World, the bees in Honeycomb World, or even the Tree of Life in Blood Cell Sea.
On rare occasions, Ninetails will be absent from Red Lily Lake, and Shadow Ninetails will be present in the red tinted state, slowly chasing after Urotsuki and sending her to Splash Streetway and back. If this happens, they can be repeatedly encountered by re-activating the red tinted state.
Shadow Slime
Found in many of Yumebako's areas, these blue-and-black blobs somewhat resemble slugs. Getting caught by these (usually) fast creatures will instantly wake Urotsuki up. A unique one can be found in Graveyard of Repentance. They seem to be related to the slimes found in Slime Village and the Sea of Trees' Slime Room, and Urotsuki will be able to transform into one after completing a puzzle in Slime Village.
Specific Chasers
These are chasers that are specific to certain locations in the dream world, usually only one or two areas.
Vengeful Spirit
The Vengeful Spirit is a chaser that wanders the Shinto Shrine, wearing a torn green cloak and a white triangular mask, both dripping with blood. It can be found in the center of the largest room in the Shinto Shrine, near the cherry blossom painting. They only spawn if the player survives the Clowns at the Circus event and escapes back to the Shrine.
It appears under many different circumstances, but the simplest way to make it appear is to equip the Wolf + Bike combo effect and then check the PC in your Dream Room at the start of a new dream.
Bug Girl
Bug Girl is a chaser with green hair who guards the Insect effect at the Scenic Outlook. She is initially friendly but becomes a chaser if you chainsaw her to try getting past her.
After chainsawing the Bug Girl, if you try to use the Invisible effect to hide from her she will begin to move in an erratic pattern similar to Dogboa, making it harder to get past her.
She can also be found in The Baddies Bar.
White Eyes
The White Eyes are found in Geometry World's Eye Chaser Area. They simply send you back to the area's entrance and giggle, taunting the player.
Teacher
Found in only the School and functions similar to a chaser. Using the Glasses effect near him reveals that he's actually a ghost. Although normally he won't harm you, using the Bike effect in the School causes him to become insane and chase you, and if you get caught you'll be transported to a staff room where you'll be in what appears to be "detention" while he scolds you. Trying to walk away causes the Teacher to jump up and force you back to your place, so your only means of escape are waking up or using the Eyeball Bomb effect. Chainsawing him causes him to turn into a ghost and follow you, although he is very slow. Getting caught causes you to wake up.
If you escape the room, you'll actually end up walking out of the last classroom in the School, the most unkempt classroom of all. Getting caught by the Teacher again while riding your Bike sends you back to detention, but this time he'll already be a ghost and start to chase you (and oddly, he's even more transparent this time).
Mouth Girl
Found in the Underground TV Complex. Normally she wears a surgical mask over her face and doesn't pay any attention to you, but if you chainsaw her you'll hear a faint scream, she'll face away from you and her sprite will temporarily turn black. Her entire face then turns into a giant mouth with a long tongue and she'll begin to chase you around the room. The doorways in the room also become blocked, so you'll be trapped in the room with her until she catches you. Once caught, you'll be transported to an area that looks exactly like the same room you were in, except all the doors on all the rooms will be missing. The Mouth Girl will also be in the room with you (still in her insane form), but she no longer chases you or reacts to any effects.
She appears to be based on the Kuchisake-onna from Japanese folklore.
Scientists
Found in the Laboratory in both the facility as well as the caves below it. The Scientists in the facility are passive by default, but will become hostile once the Director NPC is killed. Getting caught by the Scientists in the facility will lead to the Hallucination event. The Scientists in the underground caves are always hostile and will teleport Urotsuki to an isolated catwalk upon which she is observed by them. Unlike most other chasers, the Scientists in the caves react to the Chainsaw effect by running away from Urotsuki and can actually be killed if chainsawed.
Silhouettes
Found as part of the High Priestess event, these chasers are unique in that Urotsuki can come into contact with them several times before being teleported away. They do not react to the Invisible effect, making them hard to avoid.
Monochrome Schoolgirl
Located in the Monochromatic Fields of the Monochrome Mansion, she will wander about, in an attempt to follow the player. She will become hostile when attacked with the Chainsaw. When the player is caught, they will be sent to an isolated area of the fields with the hiragana letter "あ" covering the floor, while the schoolgirl looks on from the outside. She can also be found in the Monochrome School passively wandering around and reacts to the Chainsaw effect.
Corrupted 01-kun
A chaser version of the 01-kun that can be found at Corrupted Love World. They appear normal at first, but chainsawing them will send you to 3 isolated areas of either Opal Sea, Heart Tiles Path, or the Despair's Prison.
Wireframe Robots
Robot-like chasers that appear in the Shadowy Caves. They take you to an isolated section of said area. Their appearance highly resembles the Shadow Chasers and the Robot Guard.
Wireframe Robots types: Shadow ???, Shadow Bird, Shadow Gloop, Robot Guard, and Shadow Lady.
WiFi Icons
Chasers that appear in the Electromagnetic Terminal. Getting caught by them will take you to the entrance from Silver Mansion.
Shadow X
Found in Blue Apartments, this chaser resembles the letter X with long red eye stalks. It can move diagonally to get towards you making it a large threat. Getting caught by them traps you in an outside area of the same map.
Faceless Urotsuki
Found in a room in Fake Apartments after visiting Legacy Nexus. It resembles Urotsuki though lacking eyes and any shine on her shoes or hair. It matches the players speed and only moves when looking away from it. If caught you are woken up.
Chess Queen
Found in the Nefarious Chessboard. If the area is inverted, the Chess Queen will transform into a chaser. Getting caught will send Urotsuki back to the Pillar Ark entrance.
Toy Urotsuki
Found in Thrift Shop. Getting caught by them will place Urotsuki on an isolated shelf in the same area or near the photo booth if you took a picture beforehand. A box near the photo booth contains a Toy Urotsuki, and interacting with it will transform Urotsuki into one.
TV Creature
Found in TVLand. Trying to attack a certain one will send Urotsuki to an isolated section of the Nefarious Chessboard. A neutral one can be seen in Dice Swamp.
Witch
Found in Witch Heaven. Attacking the Witch will make her chase Urotsuki, sending her to an inescapable area of the Glitched Purgatory if caught. By stepping on a certain static tile in Witch Heaven, many Witches will appear and chase after Urotsuki, and getting caught will only teleport Urotsuki to the main Witch's area. A white Witch can be found in Glitch Hell, who has unique text sounds upon interaction.
Corrupt Data
Found in Glitch Hell. Getting caught for the first time will grant Menu Theme #52. Urotsuki will then be sent to the Video Game Graveyard, where she will be forced to jump into Underground Burial Site. A stationary one can be found in Parking Zone, and touching it will send Urotsuki to the Glitched Purgatory, where more variants can be found. Urotsuki can become one in Check-Disk Nexus.
Ghost
Found in Birch Forest's chaser gallery and Thumbtack World. Getting caught will transport Urotsuki to the Zalgo event in the Magnet Room. A neutral one can be seen in Rice Field. They cannot be avoided with the Invisible or Crossing effect.
Shadow Squid
Found in Abyssal Garden and Thumbtack World. Getting caught will bring Urotsuki to an isolated section of Colorless Rose Garden. The Crossing effect will not stop them.
Shadow Stampeder
Found in Collision World. Colliding with one of them will instantly wake Urotsuki up. The Crossing effect will not stop them.
Shadow Doll
Found in Brutal Sewing Landscape and Thumbtack World. Getting caught will send Urotsuki to an isolated section of Brutal Sewing Landscape. Alternatively, if the Invisible effect's action is used before being caught, Urotsuki will be sent to an isolated section of Colorless Rose Garden. The Crossing effect will not stop them.
Shadow Haniwa
Found in Haniwa Hollow, a hidden section of Graveyard of Repentance, and Thumbtack World. Getting caught will instantly wake Urotsuki up.
Detective
Found in Dream Precinct. Provoking them and getting caught will place Urotsuki in an isolated section of the same world.
Shadow Snake
Found in Pointing Labyrinth. Looks similar to the snakes found in Abandoned Campsite and Serpent Ruins A, but with the color scheme of the other shadow chasers. Moves at the same speed as Urotsuki, and does not react to the Invisible effect. Urotsuki is sent to an isolated tile in the Pointing Labyrinth if caught.
Pink Rabbit
Found in Blue Sanctuary. Provoking them and getting caught will place Urotsuki in an isolated section of the same area. Neutral ones can be seen in multiple of Takikomi's areas, like Fish Person Shoal.

Candlelit Creature
Found in Candlelit Factory. Lighting the candles and equipping the Lantern effect will slow them down. Getting caught will send Urotsuki to an escapable room in the same area. Neutral ones can be seen in multiple of Takikomi's areas, like Flamelit Wasteland.
Yellow Pursuer
Found in Pulsating Yellow Passage. Getting caught will send Urotsuki to an isolated section of Lemonade Edifice.
Shadow Salt
Found by sleeping in a bed in Himalayan Salt Shoal. Its large legs enable it to quickly chase after Urotsuki and transport her back to the bedroom.
Eyed Octagon
Found in the Roadside Forest's Mannequin Sub-Area. Getting caught will place Urotsuki back at the entrance to the Roadside Forest in Domino Constructions.
Humphry
Found in the Horror Maze. Getting caught will send the player to an isolated dining room in the same world. Beating the Horror Maze once will unlock reactions to the Bunny Ears, Invisible, Crossing, Glasses, and Chainsaw effects.
Removed Chasers
Evil Bugs
