** The Tattletails themselves; all they want is to play with someone, but their mama always takes it the wrong way and usually ends up killing whatever new friends they make.

* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: The party that Tattletail has you throw for Mama starts out with some normal stuff. Cupcakes, fancy lights, all his friends and candles! When you go get the candles, however, [[spoiler:they have arranged the fancy lights into ''a summoning pentagram'' with no explanation]].

** With the expansion there's a bit that could be applied to Mama. [[spoiler:After watching the VHS behind your memory alteration, you must escape as Mama chases you. She will first tell you that you can't escape... then asks you ''not to leave her'' before saying that she loves you. Is it possible that Mama knows just horrible she is, but can't help herself being programmed to be 'protective' of the Tattletails?]]
