5
6The titular character and protagonist of the series, Salad Fingers is a strange green imp-like creature who lives in a small house in the middle of a seemingly vast wasteland. He mainly interacts with finger puppets and figments of his own imagination, but he may not be as alone as he seems...
7
8-----
9* AbusiveParents: It's not clear if the Glass Mother is actually his mother (or at least a hallucination thereof), but she is certainly unpleasant and cruel, ordering him to eat some concoction she knows would give him a fever. [[spoiler:And his father might be, as well, if there's any truth to Glass Mother's WhamLine.]]
10* AccidentalMurder: What is confirmed to have happened to at least one human in the series, and more if Salad Fingers' perception of events is called into question.
11* AffablyEvil: Is soft-spoken, but he's [[ObliviouslyEvil oblivious]] yet [[NightmareFuelStationAttendant creepy]].
12* AmbiguouslyEvil: It's made pretty clear that Salad Fingers is not only a NightmareFuelStationAttendant but he is also [[ObliviouslyEvil generally evil]]. This is best evident in ''Friends'' when he has a frightened child (call Varsity Kid by fans) cooked to death in the oven after he sees a rusty nail jutting out of the wall
13* AmbiguousGender: Salad Fingers is largely depicted and referred to as male by himself and others, and has a masculine body from what can be seen in "Nettles", but seems to have feminine personalities come in from time to time and is shown lactating and performing some kind of apparent childbirth.
14* AmbiguouslyHuman: Although he is officially considered a human, his species is up for debate. [[WordOfGod According to David Firth]], he is not a zombie.
15* BewareTheNiceOnes: Salad Fingers never outright displays any signs of hostility or violence (to anyone other than himself at least), but a few episodes implying incidents of murder and the times we've seen Salad Fingers become angry, it's quite clear why we shouldn't piss him off still. The background music of several of the episodes is called "Beware the Friendly Stranger" in accordance with this.
16** Firth confirmed this in an interview with The Overtake:
17--->"He's a nice guy. I don't think he ever actually kills on purpose. But there's lots of evidence that he may have done. He's like a cat. A cat will kill mercilessly outside but you still bring him in and cuddle him. It's the same as Salad Fingers, he's just a bit of an animal."
18* BreakTheCutie:
19** Though it's generally a minority that find him "cute", Salad Fingers seems to have a genuinely kind, pleasant side to his personality and is very, ''very'' broken. Starting around Episode 5, most of the episodes have some moment that causes him to have an emotional breakdown.
20** Episodes 10 and 11 demonstrate the progression of Firth's art style, meaning that Salad Fingers looks slightly different than in past episodes. Although it's hard to describe how or why, he definitely looks cuter and more quaint than in the earliest episodes.
21* BritishTeeth: His mouth is filled with rotting and yellowing teeth.
22* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Goes along with his Ambiguous Disorder. Salad Fingers is generally quiet and cheerful, but just try to make sense of ''anything'' he's talking about. In fact, it's heavily implied that everything we're seeing is filtered through the lense of his insanity, which makes it even worse.
23* CompanionCube: Interacts almost entirely with some form of one of these. The few times he actually does converse with living people he is implied to be frightening to them at best, and a danger to them at worst.
24* ConsultingMisterPuppet: One of Salad Fingers' favorite things to do. He has at least three finger puppets which he converses with regularly.
25* CrazyMemory: Salad Fingers tends to remember things that either never happened or certainly didn't happen in the way he recalls it.
26* CreatingLifeIsAwesome: In Episode 11, Salad Fingers manages to bring Hubert Cumberdale to life after giving him a handmade skin-suit. This version of Hubert is sentient, able to communicate, and mobile. Considering the series' allusion to the entire narrative just being a hallucination, it may be that this form of Hubert is a hallucination too, but it still stands.
27* CreepyLongFingers: Has these in spades. In fact, they're the reason for his name.
28* CreepyMonotone: A lot of what Salad Fingers says is delivered in a very quiet, unemotional tone. Even when upset or angry, he rarely raises his voice.
29* DarkIsNotEvil: Despite living in a desolate place and having many eccentric features, he isn't a bad person and tries to be friendly with anyone that he encounters, but sometimes he gets people in trouble or harms them without even realizing it because he's such a scatterbrain.
30* DissonantSerenity: Salad Fingers' reaction to such things as a man dying by his house or a horse getting its stomach ripped open is to smile and casually continue to carry on a one-sided conversation with them.
31* TheDogBitesBack: After being abused by Glass Mother and Glass Brother for the majority of episode 11, Salad Fingers gives them their just desserts by retaking Hubert from them and destroying any contact with them.
32* ExtremeOmnivore: Salad Fingers regularly eats things like finger puppets, sand, and hairs on scotch tape.
33* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler:In episode 13, he seems to be okay with being boiled alive, even playing "Taps" on a trumpet as he sinks into the water.]]
34* {{Fetish}}: Spoons, rust, hypovolemia, and nettles are apparently this to Salad Fingers. He's a masochist, as he found getting caught in a bear trap pleasurable enough to experience ''la petite mort''.
35* FreakOut: Salad Fingers has a couple, but the most notable one is in the episode "Picnic", in which he is horrified by the fact that a little girl actually speaks to him after he's put words in her mouth through his usual imaginary play-acting fashion. The girl's voice is the only other confirmed "real" voice we hear in the series.
36* FullNameBasis: How he refers to most of the named characters by default, particularly the finger puppets. It's implied he sometimes, if not all the time, just makes these names up.
37* GlassCannon: In his playable appearance in ''VideoGame/NewgroundsRumble'' he is a very strong character with incredible reach, in exchange of slow speed and low health.
38* GoMadFromTheIsolation: David Firth says that loneliness was the main theme of the series, with Salad Fingers living in almost complete isolation and already well over the madness threshold.
39* {{Hallucinations}}: Salad Fingers seems to exist in a world almost entirely based on the conjuring of his own fractured psyche. Whether or not the reality we as viewers see is completely in his head is the subject of WMG.
40* HearingVoices: Or, rather, ''not'' hearing voices. While Salad Fingers does hear the voice of "Roger" the radio, he tends to make up his own conversations and backstories for the "people" he interacts with, hearing other living beings as making only inhuman screeching noises. In fact, one of his worst freak outs was caused by a little girl actually speaking to him for the first and only time anyone else does in the series. It was so upsetting for him to hear a real voice that he ended the episode hunched in a corner.
41* HiddenDepths: He's completely detached from reality, but he's a lot smarter than one would guess.
42** "Friends" shows that he can speak French.
43** "Nettles" reveals that he can play the flute.
44** "Letter" shows he can communicate in morse code.
45* HorrifyingTheHorror: As of later episodes, Salad Fingers is no longer the source of the horror and fear in the series - it's what happens to him and around him, which means sometimes SF is the one who is scared.
46* ImaginaryFriend: Going hand-in-hand with Salad Fingers' love of his puppets is his habit of giving personalities and voices to inanimate objects, such as Roger the Radio or Kenneth (a radio and rotting corpse, respectively); and speaking of people like his "Old Pal Charlie" who obviously doesn't exist (at least, not anymore).
47* ImAHumanitarian: Salad Fingers at least imagines himself (or other versions of himself) regularly consuming human parts, and no one knows what he did with the child he accidentally cooked in his oven.
48* InsaneEqualsViolent: Beyond the frequent suggestions of off-screen deaths around him, there are bloodstains throughout his house and he is something of a masochist, deriving pleasure from engaging in extreme self-harm. He's an unusual version of this trope, though. It's up to interpretation if he ever intends to actually kill anyone, but he's constantly intentionally hurting himself.
49* InTouchWithHisFeminineSide: He wears a dress in episode 5 and 7, is very soft spoken and has motherly tendencies.
50* LactatingMale: In the third installment, Salad Fingers takes masochistic pleasure in stinging his body/fingers with nettles; about midway through, he is seen shirtless and caressing his nipple with the nettle, giving him some kind of orgasm which causes his nipple to lactate.
51* LastNameBasis: He's not usually referred to by anyone, since intelligible dialogue from anyone but himself is rare. However, when he is referred to, he's always been "Mr. Fingers" (implying "Salad" is his first name), rather than "Salad Fingers". The phrase "salad fingers" itself has only been spoken in reference to his fingers.
52* LivingDollCollector: Whether or not he's actually killing the people and imagining them to have died in other ways is up for debate, but Salad Finger's keeps and converses with at least two corpses throughout the series, Milford Cubicle and Kenneth; both of which he refuses to acknowledge as being dead, despite their advanced states of decomposition.
53* LooksLikeOrlok: While lacking any nose or ears, Salad Fingers is bald, hunchbacked, and has creepy, claw-like hands and filthy teeth.
54* MentalWorld: May or may not be living in some version of one. David Firth leaves it open to interpretation.
55* MoodSwinger: Salad Fingers can flip from anger, tears, and creepy serenity in less than a minute with no outside influences.
56* MrImagination: Whether he's living entirely in his own world or using his imagination to survive in a Crapsack World is up for debate, but there's no doubt that he loves to make up characters and scenarios on the fly that coincide with his delusions.
57* NighInvulnerable: He appears to be able to gradually recover from anything that happens to him, most notably in Episode 9, when a ''thing'' covered in black goop tears itself out of his body and puts him about as near death as we've seen him. He languishes for a bit, but shows no injury by the end of the episode.
58* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: Salad Fingers is creepy mainly because he treats the insane, gory world filled [[CrapsackWorld with crapsack]] he lives in with a generally accepting, nonchalant attitude. Find a decaying corpse in your backyard? Call it Kenneth and have tea with it! Just be sure to kick it back in the ground at the end of the day so it can continue to fight in the war.
59* NightmareFetishist: He seems to have a disturbing love of ''Franchise/{{Saw}}''-esque meat hooks, self-harm, and decomposing corpses- to name just a few things.
60* NoFourthWall: Mostly during the earlier episodes, Salad Fingers will address the audience with a friendly "Hello" and then explain his adventure for the day.
61* NoodlePeople: How he's drawn, with his long, thing fingers only extending his noodly appearance.
62* NiceGuy: Salad Fingers is creepy but benevolent and non-malicious.
63* ObliviouslyEvil: Salad Fingers tends to come off as a kind, soft-spoken person; albeit severely deranged. The amount of people dying/dead around him, however, seem to suggest that he's not as harmless as he seems. Debatable as of Episode 11. Salad Fingers is very proud of and protective of the new and improved Hubert Cumberdale, to the point where he [[spoiler:sets out to rescue him from Glass Brother and Mother. Upon escaping after retrieving Hubert, Salad Fingers does this without hurting anyone.]]
64** Then again, the new Hubert Cumberdale is sewn together with pieces of raw human flesh that Salad Fingers keeps in a drawer, so...
65* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: He calls Hubert Cumberdale a "dirty immigrant" for being covered in muck.
66* PsychopathicManchild: Though he presents as an adult male (although his actual gender is also a subject of WMG), Salad Fingers often acts like a child, playing with toys and making up imaginary scenarios to fill his days. Of course, most of these scenarios are more psychopathic than childlike.
67* RealityWarper: Of course, it's not sure whether or not anything we see is actually going on, so it's not clear if he's changing reality or just (often unconsciously) altering his delusions. Not that it really matters, since everything going on is real to ''him''.
68* RedEyesTakeWarning: PlayedWith. He has these, and bad things tend to happen to people in his vicinity. However, he is almost always a well-spoken NiceGuy towards those he comes across, if a little out there. It's open to interpretation on how much he actually means harm.
69* SanitySlippageSong: Though he's already well slipped over into insanity, "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" is used to great effect in illustrating just how far he's gone.
70* SelfHarm: ''Constantly''. Salad Fingers has a euphoric high when hurting himself with nails or glass. Played for grossness.
71* SerialKiller: There's an awful lot of humans dying around Salad Fingers, and the fact that he has items like meat hooks on his walls, a corpse in his backyard, random people's hairs in his house, and a top-hat pieced together from the remains of a dead man he's been storing on one of said meat hooks can certainly lead one to suspect. It doesn't help that he is confirmed to have killed a child in the second episode, whether by accident or not. The eleventh episode reveals him to have a collection of strips of human flesh.
72* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: He speaks in a highly intelligent, strangely eloquent manner using a lot of old fashioned phrases.
73* ShellShockedVeteran: While it, like most other things in the series, is never confirmed, Salad Fingers regularly talks about the Great War (implied to be WWI), knows morse code, and speaks fluent French. He's also deeply paranoid and suffers from a definite split from reality.
74* ShiftingVoiceOfMadness: Salad Fingers switches from his "normal" voice to other voices at the drop of a hat and often within the same sentence, usually to indicate that he is flipping personalities/moods.
75* SplitPersonality: One of his most prominent habits is switching from character to character without any seeming fluidity and then forgetting what he did as that person; a classic sign of Dissociative Identity Disorder, or DID. He even goes so far as to imagine there being more than one of himself and then confusing them with his finger puppets.
76* {{Teleportation}}: While trapped in Tony's cage [[RealityWarper he apparently manifests a red curtain]] closes it, and vanishes into thin air.
77* ThroughTheEyesOfMadness: What may or may not be the entire series.
78* TranquilFury: He's had incidents of these usually when going through multiple personalities:
79** In "Present", he repeats, "Jeremy Fisher, I thought you were out fighting the great war", in a calm but unimpressed tone.
80** In "Glass Brother", after retrieving Hubert Cumberdale from the Glass Brother and Mother. Surprisingly, he's not violent to either of them, and simply escapes, but the calm, quiet tone in his voice somehow exemplifies how angry he is, especially when he smashes the mirror.
81* TroubledFetalPosition: Does this a couple times in the series, most notably when Roger makes him cry and when hearing the little girl's voice causes him to have a panic attack.
82* UnreliableNarrator: The closest we get to any cohesive story is what Salad Fingers tells us, and between his bouts of SplitPersonality changes and being a CloudCuckoolander, he isn't the most trustworthy source of information. This framing through his eyes extends to pretty much nothing visibly depicted in the series being reliably acceptable as the reality of the story. In fact, he is intentionally written to have his characterization shift to confuse viewers.
83* WideEyesAndShrunkenIrises: His eyes do this during his freak outs.
84* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: He may be an ObliviouslyEvil murderer, but due to the sheer extent of his madness, it's forgivable to feel sorry for him.
85* VillainProtagonist: Salad Fingers seems to have gone too far enough to fall onto that trope from [[SelfHarm constantly hurting himself with nails or glass]] leaving a horrified Varsity-wearing child cooked in the oven after he finds a nail in ''Friends", finding a decaying corpse in his backyard and calls him Kenneth in "Shore Leave'', having random hairs in ''Cupboard, and having a collection of strips of human flesh in "Glass Brother".

88[[folder:The Finger Puppets]]
89[[quoteright:164:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/friends_9.png]]
90[[caption-width-right:164:Jeremy, Marjory, and Hubert]]
91Three finger puppets, named, Hubert Jason Cumberdale (or "Barbara Logan-Price" in Episode 5), Marjory Stewart-Baxter, and Jeremy Fisher, that Salad interacts with, starting in Episode 2.
92------
93* AmbiguouslyBrown: Jeremy, who, from what can be guessed, appears to be of African/Non-European heritage.
94* ClingyJealousGirl: Marjory gives this sort of vibe in Episode 5, when she's shown ominously watching Salad having a picnic with Mable (the little red-haired girl).
95* CompanionCube: They serve as this to Salad, though Hubert seems to serve this role the most, as he's Salad's favorite.
96* CreepyDoll: To elaborate, Hubert can become human-sized, gain red eyes, and scream for no apparent reason, as well as randomly turn into a black liquid that burns at the touch. Marjory jealously watches Salad Fingers have a picnic with a little girl through the window. Jeremy can also become human-sized, stores a weird green fluid in his plugged-up mouth, and can suddenly transform into a second Salad Fingers to get eaten alive by the first.
97* HellIsThatNoise: The weird screeching sound that Hubert made.
98* NoodleIncident: Going by the bits of a scene that Salad reenacts (which ends with the puppet getting eaten), there was ''something'' that happened with Jeremy and an unnamed daughter and, whatever it was, things didn't end well on the Jeremy's end.
99* NiceGuy: New improved Hubert Cumberdale is agreeable and helpful to Salad Fingers, Salad even calls him a good lad.
100* PinkIsFeminine: Marjory is shown wearing something of a lilac.
101* ShoutOut: Presumably, Jeremy's name might be a reference to Beatrix Potter's ''The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher''.
102** Hubert's surname of "Cumberdale" is [[https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/h3700/comment/c1s834f/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 apparently]] a reference to ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' episode [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS6E1BartOfDarkness "Bart Of Darkness"]].
103* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Marjory is the only girl finger puppet.
104* SuddenNameChange: Hubert gets called Barbara Logan-Price in one episode--this is deliberate, however, and presented as a case of Salad Fingers coming up with a name because he couldn't remember the regular one.
105* SuddenlyVoiced: Hubert and, though he doesn't talk, he does let out a screeching sound. As of becoming a "real boy", he actually does talk, asking why Glass Brother is so mean.
106* TastesLikeFeet: Hubert, apparently, tastes like "soot and poo"
107* TastesLikePurple: Marjory is described to taste "like sunshine dust".
108* UnexplainedRecovery: Jeremy. The last time we saw him, Salad ate him, but we see him again in Episode 11, where he appears to be mostly okay (just dirtier and more battered than usual). He's also seemingly wearing a military uniform.
109[[/folder]]
110
111[[folder:Varsity Kid]]
112[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/varsity_child.png]]
113[[caption-width-right:300:Varsity Kid]]
114A kid with a pink varsity jacket that gets trapped in Salad's oven in Episode 2.
115------
116* CruelAndUnusualDeath: He dies after getting trapped in Salad Fingers' oven.
117* NoNameGiven: He's not given a name and is referred to as "Varsity Kid" by the audience.
118* WeHardlyKnewYe: He gets offed pretty quickly in his debut appearance.
119[[/folder]]
120
121[[folder:Harry ("Milford Cubicle")]]
122
123An armless man with a BBQ shirt who chases after Salad Fingers in Episode 3.
124-----
125* {{Angrish}}: His entire dialogue consists of feral screams.
126* ArmlessBiped: He doesn't have arms, though, oddly, his skeleton appears to have arm bones.
127* CallBack: As we find out in ''Birthday'', [[spoiler:he's still hanging on that meat hook]].
128* CompanionCube: Sort of, as Salad pretends he's still alive.
129* DidntThinkThisThrough: Trying to use one's head as a battering ram obviously isn't going to end well, as he bleeds to death after repeatedly banging his head against Salad's door.
130* PapaWolf: Assuming a baby was in the carriage (he at least thought there was), this might have been why he chased after Salad Fingers.
131* TooDumbToLive: He rams his head against Salad's door, which leads to his death. He didn't even think to use his feet kick at the door.
132[[/folder]]
133
134[[folder:Bordois]]
135A woodlouse that Salad tried to pet in Episode 4.
136----
137* AmbiguousGender: Though Bordois is referred to as female.
138* AndCallHimGeorge: How it died, as Salad tried to play with it.
139* AlienBlood: Yellow goo squirts out of it when Salad Fingers squishes it.
140[[/folder]]
141
142[[folder:Tony]]
143[[quoteright:216:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/stitchhead.png]]
144[[caption-width-right:216:Tony]]
145Otherwise called "Stitch-Head", it appears in Episode 4, where it falls in love with and captures Salad.
146----
147* AbhorrentAdmirer: Salad Fingers is freaked out by it, particularly after it proposes.
148* AmbiguousGender: It's not clear what gender it is, though the name "Tony" could point toward it being male.
149* AmbiguouslyGay: Assuming it's male, as it tried to propose to Salad Fingers.
150* FetusTerrible: Tony's appearance is reminiscent of an embryo/fetus, invoking this.
151* LoveAtFirstSight: With Salad Fingers.
152* StalkerWithACrush: It's in love with Salad. While he doesn't return those feelings, it doesn't stop Tony from trying to court him.
153* TheUnintelligible: Outside of baby babble, he angrily says something to Salad that can't be made out.
154* {{Yandere}}: Captures Salad in a cage and proposes to him.
155[[/folder]]
156
157[[folder:Mable]]
158[[quoteright:197:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mable.png]]
159[[caption-width-right:197:Mable]]
160A little red-haired girl that appears in Episode 5.
161----
162* CreepyChild: {{Zigzagged}}. Though a little strange, she doesn't do anything scary. To Salad, however, she's this trope, as her speaking scares him.
163* EyeScream: It's implied that Salad scratched her eyes out.
164* NiceGirl: Her interactions with Salad are nothing but friendly, even if her suddenly speaking to him drives him even ''more'' insane.
165* NonStandardCharacterDesign: While most of the characters in this show have strange designs that vary constantly, Mable is the closest character to look normal. This could be a hint that she's not a hallucination conceived by Salad Fingers.
166* SuddenlyVoiced: She's mostly quiet, except for when she spoke most clearly and at a different volume.
167* UncertainDoom: She is last seen asking Salad Fingers what's wrong when he freaked out, and never seen again after that, the episode ending with the implications that she had her eyes ripped out. Although, [[spoiler:in "Glass Brother" he is holding a dress that looks like the one that she wore during the picnic.]]
168* YouthfulFreckles: They're around her eyes.
169* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: She's not seen after episode 5, though it's implied [[EyeScream Salad scratched her eyes out.]]
170[[/folder]]
171
172[[folder:"Aunty Bainbridge"]]
173[[quoteright:253:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/60674_1205804397106_full.jpg]]
174[[caption-width-right:253:"Aunty Bainbridge"]]
175A weird bug-eyed yellow person that appears in Episodes 1 and 9, who owns a lot of rusty things and a house.
176----
177* AmbiguousGender: While Salad calls them an aunt, it's not known what their actual gender is.
178* NoNameGiven: {{Downplayed}}: Other than being called "Aunty Bainbridge", we never learn their real name.
179* TheVoiceless: Only communicates by making an odd screeching sound.
180* VagueAge: Salad calls them "a young child" yet they seem to be an adult, so it's not clear if they're a short adult or a young child.
181[[/folder]]
182
183[[folder:Mr. Branches]]
184A dead tree that we see in Episode 7.
185-----
186* OrWasItADream: It's not clear if Mr. Branches is really alive or what we saw was a hallucination.
187* WhenTreesAttack: In an odd sequence, he wraps his branches around Salad's torso, when Salad tells him that he can't come in the house.
188[[/folder]]
189
190[[folder:Kenneth]]
191A corpse that Salad calls his little brother in Episode 7.
192-----
193* AmbiguousSituation: Is he really Salad's little brother, or does Salad just think that he is?
194* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: Really, he's a bisected corpse.
195* NoodleIncident: It's unknown how he died or if Salad had something to do with it.
196* UnknownCharacter: The corpse itself, as we don't really know if that ''is'' Salad's brother or if he thinks it is.
197[[/folder]]
198
199[[folder:Roger]]
200[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/8itz3.png]]
201[[caption-width-right:350:Roger]]
202
203A broken radio that we meet in Episode 8.
204----
205* CompanionCube: "He" acted as this to Salad, given that he's called a name and treated as though he were alive.
206* {{Jerkass}}: As much as an (presumably) imaginary disembodied voice can be. He torments Salad, demanding him to clean the house and bring back one of the hairs he found, driving him to eat the collection of hairs, hide in his safety cupboard and cry.
207* KnightOfCerebus: To a certain extent. He's the first unambiguously evil person that Salad Fingers meets and emotionally breaks him down. After his appearance, the show brings in much more ''disturbing'' characters such as Yvonne, Salad Fingers' "Platoon", Dr. Papanak, and the Glass Family.
208* NoodleIncident: Exactly how Roger got broken.
209[[/folder]]
210
211[[folder:Glass Brother]]
212Salad's reflection that lives in the mirror with Glass Mother.
213----
214* AntagonistTitle: Of episode 11, though he functions more as TheDragon to Glass Mother.
215* BigBrotherBully: The way he talks and acts towards Salad invokes this.
216* EvilTwin: Well, he's Salad Fingers' reflection, after all. And assuming that he's not just one of his hallucinations, he seems to have a will of his own.
217* FauxAffablyEvil: He says hello to Hubert Cumberdale, only to then capture him through the mirror.
218* {{Jerkass}}: He's extremely unpleasant. According to Salad, this is because he was "raised under the beast's sun."
219* TheManInTheMirrorTalksBack: It's often unclear if we're watching the "fantastic" or "merely subjective" version of this trope with Glass Brother. The majority of his scenes are set up so it seems like Salad Fingers could actually be monologuing and berating himself under the delusion his reflection is another person— but Glass Brother occasionally has clear autonomy from Salad Fingers, [[spoiler:particularly when he reaches out of the mirror and kidnaps Hubert Cumberdale]].
220[[/folder]]
221
222[[folder:Glass Mother]]
223[[quoteright:264:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/salad_fingers_11_review_10yq01t2z3.png]]
224[[caption-width-right:264:Glass Mother]]
225An old hag-like creature who lives in Salad Fingers' mirror in Episode 11.
226----
227* AbusiveParents: Assuming that she's actually Salad's mother, she forces him to eat some sort of concoction that she knows will give him a fever, and frequently berates him.
228* AnimalMotifs: Her appearance seems to invoke a insectoid one
229* BigBad: She's the main antagonist in "Glass Brother", making Salad Fingers' life a living hell.
230* CharlieBrownBaldness: She's bald outside of a few grey hairs.
231* CombatTentacles: Her fingers are so long, that they might as well be this.
232* CreepyLongFingers: Even longer and creepier than those of her son.
233* DeadpanSnarker: Of the cruel, BlackComedy variety, saying "I'd rather starve than watch this pathetic display".
234* EvilOldFolks: Appears to be elderly, and is an [[AbusiveParents Abusive Parent]] toward Salad Fingers and takes delight in it.
235* {{Expy}}: She is similar in appearance to [[WebAnimation/SpoilsburyToastBoy Spoilsbury Toast Boy's]] grandmother, and both have a preference of speckled huckleberry leaves.
236* GoodSmokingEvilSmoking: Of the evil sort, given that, in some shots (like the abovementioned) she has a cigarette holder in her mouth.
237* {{Jerkass}}: Spends most of her time verbally abusing Salad Fingers, ordering him to poison himself.
238* SealedEvilInACan: [[spoiler:Salad destroys the mirror fragments that she uses to taunt him to the best of his ability, then places what's left of them in a jewel box, which he promptly shuts.]]
239* WhamLine: ''[[spoiler:"Just wait until your father gets home!"]]''
240* VillainousBreakdown: She becomes deranged and completely loses it when Salad Finger finally one-ups her by taking Hubert Cumberdale back from her.

243[[folder:Boyfingers]]
244A smaller version of Salad Fingers that grew out of his back.
245----
246* BornAsAnAdult: Seems fully capable of speech right from the get go. If he's at all incoherent, he's not LESS coherent than the original Salad Fingers. Salad Fingers does spend time raising him as a "child", but he quickly becomes barely distinguishable from his "parent".
247* DreamWalker: Claims to have been this to Salad Fingers for decades, suggesting he existed in some sense before having a distinct body from the original Salad Fingers.
