Slappy the Dummy

Slappy is a ventriloquist's dummy that comes to life when the words "Karru marri odonna loma molonu karrano", which means "You and I are one now", found on a sheet of paper in his pocket, are read aloud.

After coming to life, Slappy spends most of his time searching for a slave to serve him (usually the child who brought him to life).

Slappy is shown to be a rude, sadistic control freak who likes to pull mean pranks and frames the main protagonist(s) in each book for them.

Other defining characteristics are his raspy voice and near-superhuman strength.

Stine has said, "I love writing Slappy because he is so rude."

As revealed in Bride of the Living Dummy, Slappy was carved out of coffin wood by an ancient sorcerer. "Slappy's Nightmare" reveals that he has a twin brother Wally, carved from the same coffin; however, this revelation is only a dream.

When "Night of the Living Dummy" was re-released in a special Horrorland edition, bonus material included with the book revealed that Slappy did indeed have a brother: Mr. Wood, the primary antagonist of the book, and that the coffin wood they were made from was cursed.

Mr. Wood's destruction made Slappy twice as evil, and a thousand times ruder.

Contrary to popular belief that Slappy didn't appear in the first book, he actually did.

However, he wasn't the book's most important villain, Mr. Wood was.

It was only after Mr. Wood's destruction that Slappy really stepped up his game and became the rest of the arch's most important villain.

In Son of Slappy, he hypnotizes a kid named Jackson Stander and Slappy later befriends and works with Jackson's sister Rachel.

Both of whom he takes under his wing as his children.
