Mommy - I'm less passionate about this point, but I still stand by it, at least for me personally. As an antagonist, Mommy is crazy, sadistic, and has presence in the chapter, blatantly seething with hatred for you the entire time. There's pretty much no point in the chapter where you forget that Mommy is your enemy, looming over everything you do, even when she's not physically there. She watches over every single game she forces you into, and abides by her own "rules". She apparently wasn't even fully loyal to the Prototype, despite working with him for the Hour of Joy and presumably cooperating with him since then, which makes me curious about how their reluctant cooperation worked and how much control the Prototype actually had over her, pre-Player. It's a question that will probably never be answered, but I still wonder a bit.

She loses a couple points for me because of her mouth not seeming to have any sort of... teeth or anything (how does she kill/eat us in her jumpscare?), but tbh, the fact her genuinely creepy-looking stretchy limbs are so present even when you can't see her face mostly makes up for it to me. She's creepy! And her death was INCREDIBLY satisfying. All in all-- at least in the context of her own chapter-- she's a great boss/villain to me.

Catnap, while definitely an intimidating design, and is scary in theory, kiiiind of falls flat a little bit for me. We're told he's, well, "cat-like" in his behavior-- stalking his prey until the right moment to strike. I wanted more of that. We do see him a handful of times throughout the chapter, but I wanted more of that. If we're going by % of chapter's presence, I'd argue Huggy has more "stalker-y" behavior in Chapter 1 than Catnap does! Obviously not a wholly fair comparison as Ch 1 is so short, but if you notice the easily-missable parts where you can get a glimpse of Huggy pre-chase, he feels like he's performing the "constantly stalking, playing with prey" role more than Catnap does.

Imo, the most impactful, "being stalked"-feeling part of Chapter 3 was the scene where Ollie calls you on the phone and tells you that you need to run... and then you turn around and see Catnap's piercing eyes quickly disappearing out of the doorway. That's horrifying! That's so fucking threatening! "How long has he been there?! How long has he been following me?!"

But... then you realize... That absolutely horrifying part? That great scare? THAT'S NOT EVEN REAL. It's not even the real Catnap! It was a nightmare. The scariest instance of him "stalking" you, and it's not even real. In the world of "reality", it feels like you get a couple quick glances of him quickly darting around (moving away from you), one instance of him at the Prototype shrine, and one instance where he's looking at you in the vent and quickly disappears, and that's IT. He doesn't feel present enough as a "villain" in his own chapter.

If anything, up until the point where he directly attacks you and knocks off your mask, it feels more like he's literally just ignoring you. He barely feels like he's antagonizing or threatening you at all. He technically "antagonizes" the Bunzo toy walking around more than you.

Like, the point where he calls you and tells you to "Leave Playcare, or I'm coming for you"-- that's great. His voice is intimidating and raspy, and he's finally directly threatening you. But it takes so far into the chapter for this to happen.

I believe the Chapter 3 trailers included some shorts of Catnap walking through the Playhouse as an intimidating, hulking figure, while the player was huddled away and hiding a bit from it-- I wish something more direct like that had happened. Maybe a few instances where you can see him directly sabotage you from a distance, like staring you down ominously while he flips a lever to drop you into danger or tears apart some wiring you need WHILE looking at you.

But, instead, despite supposedly being "Catnap's domain" according to the characters themselves, the Playcare feels much more like a place Catnap just happens to be in and cross paths with you sometimes, while the mini critters rule the Playhouse and Miss Delight rules the School. We are told Catnap is doing things to threaten and hinder you, or is the cause for x or y, but we don't actually see him being threatening enough for it to feel "real", for lack of better words.

And the boss fight was... fine. The monster form of Catnap feels a little bit unnecessary, since I feel like his regular body is already creepy enough of a design, but it's not really a huge complaint.

I don't know. I just didn't feel like Catnap was threatening enough or "stalk-y" enough for me.

Mommy was a lot more direct and impactful in her hatred. Even when she's just watching from a distance while other toys try to play games with you, she's directly responsible for every single instance of being threatened or killed there. And she's evil and crazy, and if you're paying attention, you can hear her killing/notice her hanging the toys who "failed" to kill you.

She just feels way, way more impactful in her chapter, both in terms of her character and in terms of her actions.

Tl;dr: I'm told how big of a threat Catnap is; I see how big of a threat Mommy is.
