New Characters and Allies in Poppy Playtime Chapter 5: Who Are Giblet and Chum Chompkins?

on

Poppy Playtime Chapter 5: Broken Things is packed with new horrors, twisted experiments, and — surprisingly — a couple of characters who become allies in your battle against the monstrous Prototype. Two of the most talked-about figures are Giblet and Chum Chompkins — and they’re far more than just strange toys.

Let’s unpack who these characters are, what they mean to the story, their gameplay interactions, and why players are so fascinated by them. 

🧭 Who Is Giblet? — The Reluctant Ally

Giblet appears early in Chapter 5 and quickly becomes one of your closest companions as you navigate the dark Playtime Co. laboratories.

🧸 Appearance & Design

Giblet is a small, orange-brown creature with an inside-out plush look — part disturbing, part sympathetic. He has one magenta eye and a patched-up eye socket, complemented by clothing that hints at a long and difficult past. 

Although many specifics about his origin story are unknown, Giblet is confirmed as a key ally in Chapter 5. 

🧠 Role in the Story

Unlike most experiments, Giblet isn’t hostile. He rescues the player from early ambushes, guides you through the labs, and helps you reach critical objectives. 

He provides hints and directions that keep the player alive, transforming him into a deuteragonist ally whose presence is as much about narrative guidance as gameplay support.

🐻 Who Is Chum Chompkins? — The Gentle Giant

Chum Chompkins is another standout character: a large, red-furred creature with a mouth on his stomach, appearing in Chapter 5 alongside Giblet.

🦁 Design & Background

Chum is bulkier than Huggy Wuggy or Kissy Missy, with a rotund silhouette and inside-out plush textures. His most notable gameplay feature is the stomach “hideout” mechanic, allowing the player to hide from the Prototype in tense moments. 

🔁 Role in the Story

Although Chum initially works under the Prototype, he ends up assisting Giblet and the player during stealth segments. He is protective rather than hostile, making him one of the most memorable “friendly” experiments. 

💡 Pro-Tip

While hiding inside Chum’s stomach, move slowly and avoid abrupt camera shifts. Sudden movements may draw attention from nearby threats.

🌀 3. The “Wrongside Outimals” Connection

Giblet and Chum belong to the Wrongside Outimals — a group of inside-out experiments, representing Playtime Co.’s twisted versions of rejected toys. 

These creatures are not random; they symbolize a resistance against the Prototype, showing intelligence and initiative. Their designs set them apart from the more aggressive “Bigger Bodies” toys like Huggy Wuggy and Kissy Missy.
