Expanded Poniko/Uboa's section with more info on Uboa.


* AdaptationExpansion: In the game, she's just another dream resident that aimlessly wanders her room. In the manga, she's a character in her own right.



* AmbiguousSituation: Why is she the only dream resident who looks like a human? And what exactly is the deal with her turning into Uboa?
* AlasPoorVillain: [[spoiler: She's a complete jerk in the manga, but after learning about her backstory, it's hard not to undertsnad where she's coming from.]]
* {{Foil}}: To Madostuki. They're both human girls living alone in a single room that they refuse to leave under any circumstances. But while Madotsuki at least kind of leaves her room to explore the dream world, Poniko doesn't leave hers ''at all'' and you could argue about whether she's really human or not.

* EldritchLocation: Uboa's Trap World, accessible only by interacting with Uboa, is a nightmarish otherworld with nobody but Uboa itself and the [[https://yumenikki.fandom.com/wiki/Bloody_Touching_Monster "Bloody Touching Monster"]] in the distance to keep Madotsuki company. It's also a dead end; the only way to leave is to pinch Madotsuki awake or use the Eye Palm effect.

* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler: In the manga she is killed by Madotsuki, after purposely corrupting her.]]
* NotSoStoic: She'll be drawn to Madotsuki if she wears the Cat effect or run away from her when the Knife effect is equipped.

* JumpScare: When Uboa is summoned, the screen suddenly flashes, the room starts shaking, and mocking faces appear on the furniture.
* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler: In the manga she manga, Poniko is killed by Madotsuki, after purposely corrupting her.]]
* MeaningfulName: Uboa's name is a corruption of "uhoa", a Japanese scream [[note]]for example, Emperor Mateus' death scream in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasy2''[[/note]]. However, the syllables in the creature's name [[TheUnpronounceable don't sound right together]] in Japanese, not unlike "Cthulhu" in English.
* MorphicResonance: In the manga, Uboa grows features similar to Poniko's ponytail and arms.
* NotSoStoic: She'll Poniko will be drawn to Madotsuki if she wears the Cat effect or run away from her when the Knife effect is equipped. Even Uboa moves toward Cat Madotsuki, which is the only way to make it move at all.

A quiet girl who lives in a house located in the Pink Sea, which can be accessed through diving into a pool in an igloo in the Snow World. Upon flicking the light switch in her room, there's a 1/64 chance she'll turn into [[EldritchAbomination Uboa]].
----
* AmbiguouslyHuman: She ''looks'' like a normal human girl, but then there's the fact she lives in a vacant area, shows no visible reaction to meeting another human in a world as strange as DreamLand and can turn into a horrifying blob-like creature if you turn off the lights in her room.
* AmbiguousSituation: Why is she the only dream resident who looks like a human? And what exactly is the deal with her turning into Uboa?

** The manga takes this a step further. [[spoiler: Poniko is a human girl trapped in the same dream world as Madotsuki, but while the latter is a somewhat naive newcomer who is friendly and optimistic, Poniko has figured out the purpose and nature of the world they're trapped in long ago and has absolutely no qualms about using violence, theft and blackmail to escape it.]]

!Severed Head
* CosmeticAward: There's no point to collecting the Severed Head Effect besides completion.
* DidntNeedThoseAnyway: Madotsuki is reduced to just a head, nothing else. Given that this is AllJustADream, this trope is actually justified.
* OffWithHisHead: Obviously.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: You can use this Effect to view Closet Madotsuki in the Checkered Tile Path, since Madotsuki is too big to do it otherwise. Except you can also do it with the Midget Effect, and the Severed Head Effect reduces Madotsuki's movement speed to a crawl and Madotsuki can't pinch herself awake.

!Cat

!Umbrella
* AbilityRequiredToProceed: Either the Umbrella or the Yuki-onna effect are required to douse the flames leading to the Poop Hair effect.
* AllYourPowersCombined: Switching to a different Effect allows Madotsuki to use another Effect while it's still raining. It lets Madotsuki use the Oni effect's thunder clap anywhere the player wants.
