Dolls encountered in attraction rooms on the third floor. Their sole purpose is to challenge and outright murder participants if they fail. Stay on Target, Hide and Seek, Runaway Minecart, Spirit Shutter, Quick Draw, Fly Swatter, Charge Card Battle, Arm-Wrestling and Memory Dance are the events these dolls are made for. The survivors are forced to defeat them at their own game in order to win clear chips as those are required to survive the subgame.
----
* BreakoutCharacter: The Memory Dance Girl received plenty of popularity for her cute design and infamous status as the most difficult attraction game, cementing her as a standout character from Chapter 2-1. She's the only one featured in official artwork with the main cast and is the only doll to have dialogue in the comics.

!!Doll Reko
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cara6_16.png]]
The doll that replaces Reko in the Room of Lies. Her memories are up to date, but her personality is three years behind the real Reko, as a result she's significantly less kind to people and more selfish. She initially believes herself to be the real deal, though as evidence builds against that, her emotional state quickly becomes unstable...
----
* CloneAngst: No matter how the moments of her life are spent after realizing she's a copy of the living Reko, they're horrible experiences for her.
* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: There's no way for her to survive the events of 2-1. Even if you choose to let her live, she dies in the very next scene.
* TheFarmerAndTheViper: If you choose to spare her life, she'll kill the real Reko in the very next scene (though this does indirectly prevent Alice's death).
* ForWantOfANail: She ''is'' the nail in the end of chapter 2-1. If killed, her head will be recovered shockingly quickly by Ranger and used as a bomb to murder Alice on the spot. If either spared or not definitively caught, Alice will live on and be able to divulge more of what he knows about the overall plot, but Doll Reko herself will stab her original self.
* HiddenDepths: She shows a much more insecure side of Reko's character, wondering even before learning the truth about herself if people hate her and seeming afraid of the prospect.
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: By all indications.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Less there than her present self, but this is still Reko Yabusame, minus three years of CharacterDevelopment. Even if she's more selfish now than she would become later, she shows the capacity to do better things for people on occasion and definitely could have become kinder had she ever had the chance.
* KickTheDog: Destroying the "precious bongos" Alice worked hard to give to her and then insulting him immediately afterwards.
* KillAndReplace: Subverted. Ranger really wants everyone to think this happened, but the real one is still alive, at least throughout the sub game.
* KillingYourAlternateSelf: If her head isn't used to blow a hole in Alice's body, then she'll end up fatally stabbing the human Reko.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Reko suddenly starting to act a lot crueler to the people around her is taken as a pretty huge red flag by the lot of them.
* TalkingTheMonsterToDeath: PlayedWith. Desperate to live, Doll Reko threatens to kill Nao and Sara if she's not chosen as the Reko to save. Nao successfully talks her out of her threat by pointing out she'd never kill her friends, but she immediately kills the human Reko instead out of despair and fear.
* WalkingSpoiler: For TheReveal of 2-1, and in general that the organization behind the game is able to deploy RidiculouslyHumanRobot doubles so quality even they might not know their true natures.
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: The game makes no attempt to sugarcoat it; its artificial intelligence-based characters are completely alive, sapient, and aware. Doll Reko, already showing a much more insecure personality than her human self, naturally takes really poorly to the idea that her life is valued less than that of the human characters'. The others do, for their credit, consider her a real human being, Alice especially should he survive, and her idea sets the stage for the concept playing out even more later on.
* YankTheDogsChain: She was never meant to last past the Final Attraction, and even if she does and kills her human self out of a desire to live, she's killed moments later.
* YourHeadASplode: Her [[OffWithHisHead head]] explodes on to Alice and kills him if you choose Reko to live.

[[caption-width-right:500:[[labelnote:Maple 2.0]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/maple_20.png[[/labelnote]]]]
Dolls that are scattered around the fourth floor of the Death Game's facility who are meant to, as their name suggests, impede the participants. Unlike the prior dolls, they aren't meant to harm humans, primarily targeting other dolls. The cast is forced to cooperate and try to stop them all the same. There are only three discovered Obstructors: A Mummy fought in the Graveyard, a Book Horde in the Library and one known as Maple found in the Discussion Room.
----
* AscendedExtra: In Chapter 3-1A, Maple was truthfully barely a character, only occasionally speaking as she pressured Sara and Ranmaru into drinking tea and talking about their feelings for one scene. In Chapter 3-1B, she not only becomes a ''much'' bigger threat, her character is fleshed out significantly.
* AttackItsWeakPoint: After burning its bandages, a bright red jewel is revealed to be the Mummy's weak spot.
* AxCrazy: Through reasons ranging from sadistic glee (like the Mummy) to insane anger ([[spoiler: Maple]]) to presumably hunger (Book Horde), all they want to do is kill one of the participants and can't be reasoned with. The only way the cast can proceed safely is either destroying them or figuring out the puzzle to pacify them in time.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Maple is the nicest of the lot and the most humane, only really wanting to talk with anyone who enters her room. According to a guide in-game, she is also the ''strongest'' of them. [[spoiler:When Sara and Ranmaru make her angry, she becomes very violent.]]
* BodyHorror: [[spoiler: Poor Maple. After Midori's done with her, her head is removed and her arms become spindly wires with razors on them. In place of a head she has four monitors that crudely taunt others or beg for mercy.]]
* BreakoutCharacter: Applies heavily to Maple, not only is she the only Obstructor given a proper role in the story but she's the only one to receive significant characterization. She's associated with the main cast and marketed heavily alongside them.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Deliverers of such ends. [[spoiler: The Mummy stuffs Anzu into a coffin and has it crush her alive while the Book Horde eats away at Hayasaka. Maple can be this as well during both fights against her, as she can kill both Kurumada and Mai by impaling them with her spines. However, in Kurumada's case, his death from his injury is delayed until the banquet, and even then, this only happens if the cast fails to pacify her during their first fight against her.]]
* DefeatMeansFriendship: Inverted. The guide to defeating Maple encourages befriending her as a way to defeat her.
* DemotedToExtra: In Chapter 3-1B, despite them being built up as monsters that the group would have to worry about, no more Obstructors are introduced for the rest of the Murderer Game.
* TheDreaded: Maple's not only the most powerful Obstructor, she's also the one that everyone fears. [[spoiler:Even Midori runs away from her when she regains her freedom.]]
* EntertaininglyWrong: [[spoiler:Maple claims that the banquet is a way everyone survives the Murderer Game, but Tia Safalin and Meister both show that this is very much ''far'' from the truth.]]
* EvilLaugh: The Mummy has one when [[spoiler: it's not beaten in time, killing Anzu.]]
* {{Foreshadowing}}: During the first two fights, the only victims that can be killed are [[spoiler:Anzu and Hayasaka]], both of whom are Dolls. [[spoiler:Maple later reveals that the Obstructors are meant to kill anyone besides the human survivors.]]
** Chapter 3-1B brings more foreshadowing: During the first fight with Maple, [[spoiler:Kurumada sustains a heavy wound that makes it clear that he's a Doll]]. If you fail the game to reset [[spoiler:Ranmaru]]'s collar, they'll die during the second fight with Maple, [[spoiler:as will Mai (who will also be fully exposed as a Doll)]] if you fail to defeat her. The only one who can't be killed before the banquet? [[spoiler:[[HumanAllAlong Hinako]].]]
* HeroKiller: Potentially. [[spoiler: Both Hayasaka and Anzu can be killed during the fight with the Book Horde and Mummy respectively. Later on Maple can kill both Kurumada and Mai.]]
* ImAHumanitarian: Err, well, Dollitarian. [[spoiler: The Book Horde's method of killing Hayasaka.]]
* TheJuggernaut: Maple can be injured, but she can't truly be slowed down until she wastes her battery due to a certain action, otherwise, nothing even phazes her.
* MeaningfulName: Maple, who wears a pancake hat with maple syrup running down it.
* MiniBoss: All of them act as this for chapter three and proceeding means facing them.
* MoodSwinger: Maple's fight involves her switching between anger, sadness, and joy.
* ReluctantPsycho: Maple has no desire [[spoiler: to hunt or hurt the human survivors or the Dummies, but she is forced to do so twice because of Midori's mechinations. At the very least, she attempts to pay Midori back for the second time she's used as his weapon.]]
* SelfDuplication: The Book Horde keeps multiplying until there are enough of them to devour a whole person.
* ShockAndAwe: The Mummy starts off being electrified. Disabling the electricity requires destroying its armor.
* TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler: Maple attempts to do this on Midori once she gains enough of her free will. It fails.]]
* TokenGoodTeammate: Maple. Unlike the others, she is perfectly content with just staying in the Discussion Room and talking with the participants about their feelings instead of attacking them. [[spoiler:[[BewareTheNiceOnes This goes away if you make her angry]].]] [[spoiler:It's later revealed that, as the Obstructor who was supposed to kill Midori, Maple was technically supposed to be on the survivors' side.]]
* {{Yandere}}: [[spoiler:Maple is this toward Midori. When Sara and Ranmaru take his ID card from her, she gets ''very'' angry. Keiji, Q-taro and Mai later learn that he was her target to kill, but he implemented a program to make her fall in love with him, preventing her from doing so.]]

* DespairEventHorizon: Has this after the death of the leader girl during his game's third victim conference. It got to the point he couldn't really love any other woman since they couldn't fill the void she left.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: Subverted. He gives an account of his participation in the Death Game, but it's clear that while he did live, he wasn't the hero of it. Instead that went to a school girl who was eerily similar to Sara. However...he also reveals it didn't end well for her.

Given that their running a death game it's to be expected that they aren't the nicest people around, but all of them have moments (some more than others), were they take it upon themselves to actively antagonize and hurt the participants, be it mentally or physically. Usually mentally, but it doesn't stop some from trying to indirectly get the some of the cast killed.

!!Meister
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yttd_meister.png]]
The Room Master of the 1st floor's Blue Room. A talking painting that goes by the name of 'Meister'. In order to acquire Miley's arm, he forces the five people stuck in his room to play Russian Roulette. He's to the point with his rules, but somewhat impatient.
* AffablyEvil: In comparison to every Floor Master, he's virtually a saint. He forces five of the participants into a game of Russian Roulette and is a bit too eager about it, but otherwise acts decently and doesn't try anything extra cruel against the participants. [[spoiler:Even when he comes back for a much nastier variant two full chapters later, he still keeps up this streak, playing the game in a very forthright manner, saying up-front he has no intent to cheat the cast. He even rules in their favor when Sara takes advantage of the consent form she signed earlier to force Midori to change his coffin selection, even though it could easily be argued that doing so is allowing Sara to change the game's outcome.]]
* BackForTheFinale: Disappears from after his brief appearance in 1-1 to the very tail-end of the penultimate chapter of the game.
* BandagedFace: The only part of his face not covered in bandages is his mouth.
* ChekhovsGunman: Just a portrait and basically a tutorial enemy in 1-1. It's ambiguous if he even exists, and he's quickly forgotten, [[spoiler:only to turn up in-person at the tail end of chapter 3-1 to run an even bigger, deadlier variant on his previous Russian Roulette game. Here, it becomes downright undeniable something is ''up'' with him.]]
* TheDreaded: He is one of two people [[spoiler:Midori]] fears.
* HorrifyingTheHorror: He's [[AffablyEvil fairly nice]] compared to the Floor Masters, but you have to be pretty damn terrifying if a monster like [[spoiler:''Sou Hiyori'']] is afraid of you.
* MoreThanMeetsTheEye: When trying to name [[spoiler: Midori]] after someone you already met (sans Mishima and Shin), he smiles and gives a quip before asking you to pick again. Try naming him Meister? He'll drop the routine, frown and just ask Sara to pick again. [[spoiler: This is the Midori whose rap sheet includes getting Keiji to kill his childhood hero and tormenting Shin as his 'friend'.]] Just what did Meister do to earn such a response? It's also worth noting that when he shows up in person, his build, two of his poses, and his general fashion sense, are nearly identical to [[spoiler:Sara's father's brief appearance.]]
* RussianRoulette: Forces Sara, Joe, Kai, Q-Taro and Keiji to go through a variation of it if they want Miley's arm. Everyone can survive it, and ensuring so keeps you away from a Game Over. [[spoiler:Then he has Gin, Midori, and all the remaining dolls put into another, larger-scale version two chapters later. This one proves much deadlier, with Gin and ''possibly'' one doll the only ones who can leave it alive.]]
* StarterVillain: He's encountered before any of the Floor Masters, and serves as a "lesser" version of them in a way. He oversees the part of the first chapter that contains the game's first debate section, and unlike later ones it's possible for it to be done with no casualties. [[spoiler:His second appearance at the Banquet, meanwhile, facilitates what is, if you’ve been playing well throughout 3-1 and have plenty of living dolls reach that point, the single deadliest event in the entire game.]]
* WarmUpBoss: His antics serve as a way to introduce the player to more of the debate portions of the game.

Hate Sink is about characters who are primarily designed to be disliked. Midori is a terrible person, but his Laughably Evil and terrifying moments make him an entertaining villain. Also Gashu's entry is a ZCE.

* HateSink: Far and away the most loathsome character in the game, Midori is [[ManipulativeBastard extremely cunning]] and [[KickTheDog gratuitously cruel]]. [[spoiler:And that's ''before'' you learn he's ''[[HumanAllAlong not a doll]]'', making him directly responsible for Keiji's trauma and a whole host of other heinous crimes.]] Take that into account, and it's no stretch to say that he's worse than Miley and Gashu combined.
