You’ve seen them all over TikTok and Reddit. Those clean, neon-tinted character cards with star ratings and heart icons. If you’re deep in the Roblox horror scene, you know exactly what I’m talking about. The Dandy’s World stats template has become the gold standard for anyone trying to breathe life into an Original Character (OC) in the BlushCrunch universe. Honestly, though? Most people are doing it wrong. They’re just slapping five stars on everything and calling it a day.
That’s not how Dandy works.
The game is a brutal ecosystem. It’s a balance of risk, ichor, and the constant threat of a Twisted Shrimpo ruining your run. When you use a Dandy’s World stats template, you aren't just making a pretty graphic. You are defining how that character would actually survive (or die) in a machine-extracting nightmare. If you give your OC max speed and max extraction, you haven't made a "Main Character." You’ve made a boring one.
The Anatomy of a Legit Dandy’s World Stats Template
Most templates you’ll find from creators like navigatorthingy on DeviantArt or the templates circulating in the r/DandysWorld_ subreddit follow a very specific visual language. You need the Toon name, the "Role" (like Extractor or Distractor), and the actual stat bars.
The Six Core Pillars
In the actual game code and the community-accepted templates, there are six metrics that matter. Don't add "Magic" or "Strength." That’s not what this game is.

- Health (Hearts): Usually 2 or 3. If you’re making a "Main" toon, you go with 2.
- Skill Check: This is the size of the success zone when you’re fixing machines.
- Movement Speed: How fast you walk/run. Simple.
- Stamina: How long you can sprint before your legs give out.
- Stealth: How close a Twisted has to be before it starts screaming and chasing you.
- Extraction Speed: How fast that progress bar moves when you’re holding the interaction button.
I see a lot of people get confused between Skill Check and Extraction Speed. Think of it like this: Extraction Speed is the "floor" of your performance—it’s the steady grind. Skill Check is the "ceiling"—it’s the RNG-based boosts that can make a machine pop in seconds if you’re good at the QTEs.
Why Five-Star Stats Are a Trap
Here’s the thing. Every "Main Character" in the game has a 5-star stat. Pebble is the king of speed. Sprout owns the stamina game. Astro is basically invisible with that 5-star stealth. If you’re filling out a Dandy’s World stats template for a new OC, you have to pick your "one thing."
If your character has 5 stars in everything, it’s a "Mary Sue" design. It doesn't fit the meta. Truly great OCs have "dump stats." Look at Shrimpo. The dude has -19 stars in stealth. Negative! He is a beacon for every monster on the floor. That’s what makes him iconic. When you’re designing your template, ask yourself: What is my character’s Shrimpo-level flaw? Maybe they extract at lightning speed but have 1-star stamina, so they’re a sitting duck once the machine is done.
The Secret "Hidden" Stats People Forget
If you want your template to look professional—like it was ripped straight from the Miraheze wiki—you need to include the "Obtainment" and "Abilities" sections.
Abilities: Active vs. Passive
A template is empty without the "F" key ability.
- Actives: These have cooldowns. Think of Cakelyn’s Sugar Rush.
- Passives: These are always on. Like Vee and Brightney glowing in the dark.
- Toggles: Rare, but they exist.
When you’re writing these into your template, use the game’s terminology. Mention "Ichor," "Tapes," and "Twisteds." If your OC’s ability costs 50 Tapes to use, write that down. It adds flavor.
How to Actually Build Your Template (The "Pro" Way)
Don't just use Microsoft Paint. Most artists are using Catalog Avatar Creator to get the 3D look of their Toon, then moving to IbisPaint X or Canva to overlay the stats.
You can find the "Stars" and "Hearts" assets easily on the Discord servers. A common mistake is using the wrong colors. The stat stars in Dandy’s World aren't just yellow; they have a slight glow. The background of the card should be that specific dark, slightly grimy "nursery-gone-wrong" aesthetic.

Real Examples of Balanced Stats
Let's look at a hypothetical OC I'll call "Whisk." Whisk is a baker-themed toon.
- Skill Check: 4 stars (He’s precise with ingredients).
- Movement Speed: 2 stars (He’s a bit chunky).
- Stamina: 3 stars.
- Stealth: 2 stars (He smells like cookies, Twisteds love cookies).
- Extraction Speed: 5 stars.
- Health: 2 hearts.
See? He’s an "Extractor." He finishes machines fast, but if he gets caught, he’s probably done for because he can’t outrun a Twisted Pebble. That is a balanced character design.
Where to Share Your Finished Dandy’s World Stats Template
Once you've spent three hours debating if your character should have 3 or 4 stars in Stealth, you need an audience. The Dandy’s World Wiki (the Miraheze one, not the abandoned Fandom one) has an OC pit section. There's also a massive community on Twitter (X) using the #DandysWorldOC hashtag.
Honestly, the best place is the Discord. People there will actually "math-out" your stats. They’ll tell you if your character is "broken" or "S-tier." It’s a bit intimidating, but it’s the best way to see if your design actually holds water in the game's logic.
Actionable Next Steps for Your OC
If you're ready to make your mark on the Dandy's World community, don't just start drawing. Follow this workflow:
- Identify the Role: Is your character a Distractor (high speed/stamina) or an Extractor (high skill check/extraction)?
- Pick the Flaw: Every 5-star stat needs to be balanced by a 1-star or 2-star stat.
- Download a Transparent Base: Find a high-quality .PNG of the Dandy’s World stats template—look for "navigatorthingy" on DeviantArt for the most accurate one.
- Write the Flavor Text: Give them a "Toon Quote" for when they finish a machine. It adds personality.
- Calculate the Ichor Cost: If they were in the shop, how much would they cost? Usually, it's between 1,000 and 2,500 Ichor.
Designing an OC is about more than just looking cool. It’s about fitting into a world that wants to eat you alive. Use the template to tell that story.
