!Characters exclusive to the comics

[[folder:The Toddler]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/toddler.png]]
A toddler living in the forest.

* TheBabyOfTheBunch: He's definitely the youngest child protagonist ever seen if his diaper is anything to go by.
* BadassAdorable: A small toddler who has been surviving in the wilderness for who knows how long.
* BindleStick: His only means of carrying things.
* BlindfoldedVision: He wears a blindfold with a feather tucked in it.
* DraggedByTheCollar: The Thin Man grabs him and pulls him through the TV.
* UncertainDoom: It is unknown what happened to him and what the Thin Man is planning with him but at the very least, he's gone.
* WildChild: How long has he been in the forest? Long enough that the only articles of clothing he has are a diaper and a feathered bandana hiding his eyes.

[[folder:The Girl With Pigtails]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nosebleed_girl.png]]
A pigtailed girl trapped in the hospital.

* AllForNothing: She tries to dig her way out but she only manages to dig back to her cell. If it wasn't bad enough, the Doctor can be seen stalking her at the end of the comic.
* CanonCharacterAllAlong: {{Implied}}. A room can be found in the hospital that is identical to the one she was trapped in. It has one of the glitching remains in it, [[KilledOffscreen implying she didn't survive the Doctor]].
* DeadlyNosebleed: Though it is never revealed if she is sick or dying, she is suffering from a nosebleed for the entirety of the time we see her.
* {{Determinator}}: She is very determined to escape the hospital.
* GirlishPigtails: Her most recognizable physical characteristic. To the point she's referred to as "the Girl with Pigtails".
* UncertainDoom: The last shot of her involves the girl sneaking out of the hospital while the Doctor silently crawls behind her.

[[folder:The Fat Kid]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fat_boy.png]]
A fat boy who is trapped in the school.

* {{Acrofatic}}: He's overweight but also tough enough to survive on his own, and in fact ends up killing quite a few of the Bullies that were pursuing him.
* ActionSurvivor: How he got lost inside the school is unknown but he is shown to be quite resourceful in saving his life. Until the Teacher catches him.
* CowardlyLion: He's very clearly terrified of the Bullies, but nonetheless fights back against and manages to destroy a fair amount of them with nothing but a lollipop.
* ImprovisedWeapon: His lollipop is used as a bludgeoning weapon against the Bullies.
* UncertainDoom: The Teacher corners him in the last panel of the comic as his story abruptly ends.

[[folder:The Ghost]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ghost_23.png]]
A small child wearing a bed sheet who lives in a house in the Pale City.

* AmbiguousSituation: Were they about to drop the rat out the window? Were they going to jump with it? Or were they merely trying to escape with it?
* AmbiguousGender: There's no indication what their gender is under the bed sheet.
* BaitAndSwitch: Upon reading the comic for the first time and seeing that it's drawn from the perspective of someone looking through a mask's eye-holes, you might be tempted to think Mono is the protagonist this time around. He's not. Like in almost all the prior comics, the protagonist is a completely new character who wears a sheet over their body.
* BedsheetGhost: They're wearing a white sheet with two eye-holes, evoking this image.
* FirstPersonPerspective: The comic's events are shown from their view until the last panel, which reveals their appearance.
* UncertainDoom: The comic ends with them getting caught by the two Viewers whose house they're staying in, just as they attempt to escape out the window.

[[folder:The Ferryman]]
[[quoteright:246:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ferryman.jpg]]
The main villain of the Little Nightmares comic series, a monster with a most unusual face. While the Maw is submerged he goes to the outside world in a large trenchcoat and collects children to bring to the Maw, and in particular, is responsible for capturing Six.

* ArcVillain: Of the comics, in a sense; the three-book series focuses on the stories the other captured children tell of how he brought them to the Maw, and how and why he captured Six herself. He's also the main villain in the podcast.
* DealWithTheDevil: He is said to lure children to the Maw with 'fat promises' that all come to naught. He is shown approaching two such children in the comics who have, prior to his meeting them, come to be visited by desperation and disaster.
* HumanoidAbomination: Jury is out on what exactly he is. Whatever the case one thing is certain, he isn't human.
* MonstrousHumanoid: Has a relatively normal (if bulky and big-handed) body, but the face is flabby and stretched, his skin is a greyish-green color, and he appears to have a nose so big and bulbous it reaches down to his chest, with not much else to his face.
* NoNameGiven: His name here is just based on his role as the ferryman.
* TheSpeechless: He only communicates with gestures in the comic, even though there is more dialogue there than in the game. [[spoiler:Although he does speak while impersonating one captured boy's sister in the boy's backstory.]]
* VoiceOfTheLegion: In the Podcast he talks with a deep male voice with a hint of a female voice echoing in the background.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: The first comic has one of the children sharing a story of how the Ferryman [[spoiler:impersonated his dead sister to keep him from giving up to the North Wind, in a ploy to have him willingly come to the Maw.]]

[[folder:The Hanged Man]]
A monster from the second issue of the Little Nightmares Comic that lives, or perhaps travels by, a set of mirrors in an old abandoned house. When four children enter the house and use the mirrors to change their appearance to more ideal versions of themselves, he starts capturing the children and pulling them into the mirrors. Six passes under what is likely his body in the early part of the Maw during the game proper.

* CombatTentacles: Hairlike tendrils come out of his collar where his head should be, which he uses to catch the children.
* EarlyBirdCameo: It only impacts the plot in the comic, but it's possible that Six passes under him in the first part of the game, and there is a painting or two of him on the Maw.
* MonstrousHumanoid: He looks like a normal person all except for, possibly, being gigantic compared to Six and having no head, instead a disembodied brain or tentacles coming out of his collar.
* MirrorMonster: His modus operandi in the comic.

[[folder:The North Wind]]
A mysterious entity hiding in a cloud of red mist who chases a refugee boy and his sister into a barn.

* EldritchAbomination: Just like with the Ferryman, It's near impossible to tell just what the North Wind really is. At first it seems to be the wind itself but from the look of things in the comic it not only has a body but is probably made up of the crows that surround the barn.
* TheReveal: [[spoiler:The North Wind wants the boy but not his sister. Why? Because it already has her, and it has the body to prove it.]]

* TookALevelInKindness: She acts much more like a young girl in Little Nightmares II, showing fear and curiosity, grabbing Mono on her own when he falls in the hospital, drags him out of the TV multiple times, and when she fails to do it in time in the fourth chapter she desperately tries to get him to hold her hand and to run away with her. Even her [[spoiler:Monster form at the very end is at first completely docile and unwilling to harm Mono until he attacks her music box.]]

* TheArcher: He uses a bow and arrow for combat.

** He also strongly resembles "film/TheElephantMan", with his one-eyed sack hood, cap and labored breathing.

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: One of the first Viewers that Mono and Six encounter crashes down before them from the floor above, bolts into the room ahead, and smashes his head straight into an active television, seemingly killing him. It quickly establishes just how obsessed the populace is with the Transmission, and how they will disregard everything up to and including their own safety just for a taste of it.

* BadassLongcoat: He wears a dusty, olive-tan coat that reaches his knees, and is the most physically capable of the protagonists, being able to pick up objects like [[DropTheHammer hammers]], [[PipePain pipes]] and even [[ImprobableWeaponUser soup ladels]] to attack enemies and destroy obstacles.

** In one chapter on the second game, she amuses herself while Mono is away by snapping the fingers off a mannequin hand. It's played as rather unsettling.
** Shortly thereafter, she sits down to warm her hands at the grate of the incinerator...while the Doctor is being burned alive inside. Perhaps she's mocking his death; perhaps she's just cold and jaded enough to ignore his tortured screams.

* SecurityBlanket: In ''Little Nightmares II'' she plays a music box that seems to keep her calm at the beginning when Mono first meets her. [[spoiler:In her nightmare form, she's calm so long as she has the music box near her. Once Mono starts to destroy it, it sends Six into a rage and causes her to lash out at her former friend and also keep the music box close to her when she can. It's possible that by destroying this music box, it leads Six to betray Mono at the end of the story and leave him in the Tower while she escapes through an active portal.]]

* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: Played up even more in Little Nightmares II. As she waits for Mono to return with the knob switch in the Hospital section of Little Nightmares 2, Mono comes back her sitting next to a mannequin arm, nonchalantly ''bending'' the fingers until there's an audible crack and pop sound. When she leaves it, most of the fingers are bent at odd angles. There's also her revenge against one Bully after Mono rescues her. She angrily pounces on it and snaps its neck like it was a twig. And how does she react to the Doctor's death of being burned alive in a crematory oven? Why sit down and warm herself in front of the fire of course!

* ThePigPen: Considering it's fine digging through the [[TrashOfTheTitans the Nests' massive garbage pile]], it can't possibly be all that sanitary.

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: In the second game, once Mono breaks open the door where she was imprisoned and reaches out to Six, she obviously makes a break for it. Subverted once Mono does unleash the [[spoiler:Thin Man]] on them where she will try for a very long time to get him to grab her hand and to run away with her. She only runs once the monster directly enters the room, finally snapping Mono out of it.[[spoiler:In the ending, she drops Mono while the latter is clinging to the edge of a crumbling bridge, having either written him off as a goner so she can save herself before the rest of the bridge breaks down or she did it for more... nefarious reasons.]]

* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Like the Lady before him, he lacks the oversized head and cartoony proportions that most of the other antagonists in the series have,[[spoiler:but unlike the Lady (whose face is never directly seen but casts an ugly reflection) he's explicitly shown to have the face of a normal human.]] He also has grey-colored skin, which none of the previous antagonists share.
