I like how most of the monsters try to stab, bite or pounce you while the joy joy gang beats you up mafia style

[patricktorrens]

I love how instead of having some insta-kill animation like most monsters, lucky just beats you to death.

I like your theory about animal souls. Maybe we can expand on it a bit. What if each animatronic represents animals killed under different circumstances? What if their personalities mirror those of their killers?
Let's start with Hangry. He is a pig. Pigs are farm animals that are only valued for their meat. Farmers kill them as soon as they get big enough. That is reflected in Hangry's behaviour. He only sees mortals as food and nothing else.
Next is Penny, who is a chicken. Chickens are valued not just for meat but also their eggs. They get to live for longer and recieve some love. In the end we still kill them. Penny seems to represent that. She has a soft spot for both her companions and mortals. She, however, still mercilessly kills those who dare to cross her path.
And then there is Lucky. Back in the day rabbits were hunted for both their meat and their fur. Nowadays some rich bastard can wack any animal just for the trophy or the fun of it. That seems to fit Lucky pretty well. He is a sadistic calculating hunter who toys with his victims.

I love how Hangry just goes
"Hi! I'm Hangry! I'm a pig."
short 'n' simple.

I kinda like how Lucky isn’t “all talk, no action”. The Joy Joy Gang actually won against Doug and prevented him from getting to the portal. The first monsters to ever do so.
Even his line in the beginning says so “You know why they call me Lucky? Cause I never lose!”
That also explains why Lucky is extremely egotistical cause never once has he lost (this chapter kinda proves that)
Gosh Dark Deception is so rad 💚

[quantumtabbylargo]

Anyone notice that during Lucky's second animation his nose does a sniff sniff like an actual rabbit?
when he says "You know why they call me Lucky?" the little break is where his nose twitches

[greninjastorm]

I actually like the personality the Joy Joy Gang has. If you pay close attention during the level, they converse with each other when not chasing you(mostly Lucky berating the others for letting Doug escape). Oddly enough, they feel the most human out of the monsters so far, because they each have their own individual personalities

[aries_fire]

I never really thought about it before, but it actually makes sense for the Joy Joy Gang to be the souls of animals that were killed by people. When you think about it, rabbits, chickens, and pigs are all hunted and killed either for sport or for food. That's essentially what Lucky, Penny, and Hangry we're doing to Doug the whole time during Mascot Mayhem.

Can't wait to see your video about Mama Bear when it comes out! She was definitely one of my favorite monsters from the latest Dark Deception chapter.

Lucky: *_*maniacal laughter*_* *"I'M BACK!!!"*
Glitchtrap: _"I see you're a possessed animatronic rabbit of culture aswell"_

[Yustillhere]

Lucky: penny’s got a soft spot for mortals

Penny: SQUISHY YOU MADE ME LOOK BAD INFRONT OF LUCKY

[csekat]

The joy joy gang must be REALLY mad at mamma bear for letting Doug escape

[s.m.g.]

Now that I think of it. In Crazy Carnevil stage, Bierce mentioned about Doug having a fear of clown. Maybe this is why he hate going to a theme park type place and now that he enter this dark realm, his soul actually drawn to this kind of nightmare realm that have theme park or the animal/mascot type monster in his nightmare most of the time.

[MrMcGee-ycoq]

I can respect Lucky, he says he never loses, by our knowledge that’s true.

[xprd_nchs]

I've watched people play mascot mayhem about 20 times, yet I never realized that after he says "you know why they call me lucky?" He wiggles his nose like a true rabbit XD it's adorable to me

[AlibiBlu]

Penny: “Lucky! I found him!”
Superhorrorbro: “Is this a love obsession?”💁🏻‍♂️🦋

[lukasoravec]

3:55 yeah, they seem friedly until the moment when Penny looks at you with that 'sus' look

I love the personalities of all three Joy Joy Gang members

[gilbertotabares]

Animal souls? Possibly. They could also be an amalgamation of negative emotions formed into a functional soul then stuffed into these animatronics. Lucky=Arrogance. Penny=Vanity. Hangry=Gluttony.

[hikothealien]

I like how the nightmares tell about Doug’s life. He really was a bad father.

[Staeve]

Penny: oh no
Lucky: oh no
Hangry: *busts through the wall* OH YEAH

[testerwulf]

Going with the “they’re animals” thing I think I can pinpoint what kind of animals are given which costume! Pets are given penny as pets have a soft spot for humanity but were likely corrupted, Hangry is animals used for food thus he eats humans as a kind of twisted revenge, and lucky is likely wild animals having 0 interest in humans other than brutality like what we do to wildlife.
Going off this it’d explain why penny seems to admire lucky (which was confirmed), because as a pet she’d look up to and admire someone who is her leader just as pets do the same for us! Though penny’s affection toward humans may be a mix of a pets natural affection towards humans and loving us as a sort of toy (like a dog loving a ball).

Edit: Lucky or penny could likely include lab tested animals (likely penny as lab animals are normally pet animals, this could also give reason to her need to please..as if lab animals don’t please they get hurt or thrown away).
