“	Of all the Nightmare Critters, Icky Licky is the one that you can always count on to ruin the fun. But hey, at least he smells like coffee.	”
— Icky Licky's twitter intro

Icky Licky is one of the Nightmare Critters, a group of eight characters created by Playtime Co. who (presumably) serve as the antithesis of the Smiling Critters. He is presumed to have been made into a toy by Playtime Co. and might be featured in Chapter 4 as an antagonist.

Appearance

Icky Licky is an anthropomorphic poison dart frog, characterized by black-purple skin that complements his expressive black eyes, which (like the other Nightmare Critters) are furrowed in a permanent glare. His features extend to bright yellow bands that encircle his face and body, and they compose the tips of his amphibian fingers and toes. In line with the other Nightmare Critters (and the Smiling Critters), Icky sports a perpetual wide toothless grin, his inner mouth shrouded in mysterious darkness. A red necklace gracefully adorns his center, showcasing a black biohazard sign pendant encapsulated in a thick red outline.

Personality

“	Icky's the type of kid to fall behind in a relay race and IMMEDIATELY pin it on a sore knee, even when that's NOT the case. He's the very definition of a poor sport. Even though he's naturally talented, he's constantly challenging anyone on absolutely everything, and usually without the outcome he expects (don't worry, he has an excuse ready).	”
— Icky Licky's character description

According to his character description, Icky Licky is a sore loser with a hyper-competitive streak. He consistently challenges his friends to copious competitions - each different than the last - on a daily basis. Although he possesses natural talent, his arrogance eclipses said talent. It's this arrogant disposition which - when combined with his competitive persona - leads him to vastly underestimate his opponents, ultimately ending in his chronic defeat. Rather than conceding the loss to his opponent, he repeatedly assigns blame to events outside of his control, be it luck or getting dirt in his eyes (though his friends see though his excuses).

However, Icky's toxic personality is possibly a facade, one used to hide an inferiority complex that festers and grows inside of him.

Trivia

• In terms of appearance, Icky Licky seems to be based on a yellow-banded poison dart frog.
• Icky was the second Nightmare Critter to have his description revealed on X (formerly Twitter).
• His pendant, a biohazard sign, could play into his toxic personality and species of choice.
• He is the only member of the Critters (both Smiling and Nightmare lines) who is an amphibian.
  • He is also the only member of the Critters (both Smiling and Nightmare line) who is not an animal native to North America. Yellow-banded poison dart frogs are found in South America. As such, his species is out of place with the setting.
    • His coffee scent also falls in line with South America being the continent which produces the most coffee, especially in Brazil; the cocoa bean one of the primary defining ingredients in the creation of coffee.
• In the past, coffee was used to aid in concentration during nighttime.
