“	What do you call the scariest dinosaur? Me.	”
— Bron's cardboard cutout noicon

Bron the Dinosaur, or simply known as Bron, is a toy created by Playtime Co. who was featured in Chapter 1: A Tight Squeeze of Poppy Playtime.

He makes his second major appearance in the Rejected Room in Chapter 2: Fly in a Web in his monster form, acting as an obstacle for The Player to overcome. He also appears in various cutouts throughout the chapter with his own voice lines.

He plays an important role in the RESTRICTED_restoration.mp4 recording, where he is used to the organ transplant of an employee named Thomas Clarke, giving rise to Experiment 1199.

Appearance

Bron is a large, bright red dinosaur themed after a real-life species Brontosaurus (now extinct). He has a rounded head with a small snout, small black eyes with eyelids, a long neck and four stubby limbs. His cheeks, neck front and underbelly are colored pale yellow to match his brightly colored body.

Bron's Bigger Body form retains largely the same appearance as his other two counterparts. However, his eyes have been gouged out, leaving two empty sockets. His mouth is split into a psychotic, unnerving grin. His bright red color has faded into a dull tangerine, and nearly every inch of his body is covered with blood. His body is also cracked in places. The blue on his toes have also peeled off and faded in places.

Personality

“	Bron managed to stay trim on a strict diet of 4,000 calories long before the days of fitness accounts on Instagram and unachievable beauty standards. How did he pull it off? In the same manner that Playtime Co. employees did: lots of hard work in the factory.	”
— Digital Collectible Profile

Bron is generally described as hard-working and fully committed to whatever goals he had set for himself, as he strictly allowed himself to only eat 4,000 calories daily. He is also presumed to be athletic and tough, being able to withstand tons of hard work every day.

He also has a sense of humor, as he likes to make jokes and puns about dinosaurs. One of these jokes is about a dinosaur 'with one eye'; however, this sense of humor quickly takes a darker turn, as he is heard referring to himself as 'the scariest dinosaur' in the last two voice lines of his cutout.

History

Backstory

Bron was designed by Elliot Ludwig and released by Playtime Co. in 1961, just eleven years after Poppy Playtime.

Experiment 1199

A restricted and edited recording explains the story of a Bron experiment and an incident that occurred regarding him. Six months prior to this event, Thomas Clarke, a 59-year-old Playtime Co. full-time employee was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. After receiving the diagnosis, he willingly volunteered to become an experiment. The scientists placed his organs, eyes, and brain into a Bron toy and he became known as Experiment 1199. However, he was severely disoriented, not knowing where he was or what happened to him. When 1199 was introduced to the other experiments, they immediately knew he was not an orphan forced to be an experiment. After he turned the opposing way, Boxy Boo's music box faintly played before he grabbed 1199. He devoured his voice box and thyroid before the research team intervened to stop them from killing him. It took 12 hours of surgery to stabilize 1199; afterwards, they placed him in solitary confinement to keep him safe from the other experiments.

Other Bron experiments

Experiment 1393, made from an orphan at Playcare named Timmy, was later created and based off the Bron toy. Before being experimented on, a Playcare counselor attempted to calm him down and offer him support, even though he was very uncomfortable. At an unknown point in time, a Bigger Body version of Bron was also created.

Chapter 2: Fly in a Web

A large and withered statue of him appears in the Rejected Room as an obstacle that The Player needs to overcome in order to proceed. They must power up a crane to take Bron off an elevator as it is too heavy for it to go up. After doing so, they can return to Musical Memory, but the corridor to the game is now blocked off by spiderwebs.

Trivia

• Bron's name is most likely an abbreviation of 'Brontosaurus', referencing the genus Bron is based on, and his jokes are dinosaur jokes. The "Do-You-Think-He-Saurus" joke he makes is a direct reference to the same joke made by Tim Murphy, a character from the world-famous Jurassic Park franchise.
• Dinosaur metabolism is the reason Bron can be on a 4,000-calorie diet while still remaining in shape.
  • This is likely referencing Bron's smaller size, which decreases his caloric needs relative to other members of his species. (Larger dinosaurs would rely on tens or hundreds of thousands of calories per day.)
• Micah Preciado did the voice lines for his cutout.
  • According to Zachary Preciado, there were fifteen different laugh variations that did not get used for Bron's cutout.
• Bron is one of the four toys that the Specialists need to assemble in PROJECT: PLAYTIME. The others are Cat-Bee, Candy Cat, and Boogie Bot.
• Trainguy constantly wants to make a secret PROJECT: PLAYTIME skin related to Bron.
• Bron is the first character to have two Bigger Bodies Initiative experiments.
• A running gag for trailers for chapters 1-3 of Poppy Playtime is that they will hint at Bron being an antagonist only for it to be someone else.
  • According to Isaac, Bron was intended to appear in any of the chapters, but it never worked out for him.
  • Bron was meant to appear in the Playhouse area instead of DogDay.
    • This is a part of the reason Mob created the RESTRICTED_restoration VHS.
    • According to Isaac, the last attempt prior to him leaving Mob Entertainment was to make him the monster inside Playcare's Toy Store. The entire sequence wound up cut when the Toy Store was cut.
• Bron was mentioned twice by The Doctor during his takeover of the Mob Entertainment X account:
  • The Doctor states that Bron was his favourite toy when he was younger.
  • When asked on X about whether he had used Huggy Wuggy as a coat rack, The Doctor explained that the Innovation department went through a phase where they designed all their furniture based upon Bron.
