Characters: The Siblings & The Missing Children

Profiles of the main protagonists and the friends they are trying to save.

The Protagonists

The Brother & Sister

Unlike the solitary figures of Little Nightmares, REANIMAL focuses on a duo.

  • Appearance: Dirty, ragged clothes. The sister wears a yellow raincoat (a nod?), while the brother wears a dark, oversized sweater.
  • Relationship: They are inseparable. The game mechanics emphasize their bond—they cannot progress alone.
  • Motivation: Survival and rescue. They are not just escaping; they are actively searching for their friends.

The Antagonists

The Sheep

Twisted, corrupted versions of farm animals.

  • Behavior: They act as the "grunts" of the early game. Not smart, but numerous.
  • Origin: Likely failed experiments from the Mill.

The Sniffer

The primary pursuer of Chapter 1.

  • Feature: An grotesquely long, trunk-like nose used to smell fear.
  • Role: Hunter. It tracks the siblings through scent.

The Warden

The ruler of the Orphanage.

  • Feature: Tall, lanky, carrying a lantern. Moves with eerie silence.
  • Role: Jailer. It keeps the children contained.

The Conductor

The mechanical monstrosity of the Factory.

  • Feature: Multiple limbs, integrated with the machinery.
  • Role: Executioner. It disposes of the "failures."
