  • Mr. Chipper's dialog can be genuinely dark and disturbing at time, as it goes into detail about how deep his hatred for termites goes, the War of Nineteen Beaverdy-Three, and the death of Tyke's mother. This post by an admin of the Five Nights at Freddy's subreddit goes into more depth.
    • Special mention goes to how Tyke's mom died: Mr. Chipper ate her. She somehow fell into a pie she'd made for her husband, and he didn't notice until he'd already eaten part of her.
      • The worst part is that he says the pie was delicious, "a little gamey", but still good.
      • It goes deeper than that. How would he know what "gamey" meat tastes like? Beavers are herbivores.
      • He had her remains taxidermied. Her corpse stands in the corner at all times, just off-screen.
    • Beyond that, Mr. Chipper's hatred of termites is gradually revealed to be more and more extreme as the game goes on. It starts with him joking about a war between beavers and termites that he plays off as a joke, progresses to him shooting sawblades into the hills for weeks after the termites played a prank on him, and finally ended with him bombing the termite mounds for no explained reason.
      • It's made slightly less horrifying by the fact that the Termite King doesn't really seem all that angry about Mr. Chipper's tendencies, and seems to treat him more like an annoying neighbor. That is, until he talks about the above incident with Mr. Chipper bombing the mole hills. He casually states that mothers were crying over the loss of their children, and immediately laughs it off by calling Chipper "a real kidder".
      • Though he does consider Mr. Chipper to be "murderous" in at least one dialogue.
      • Father Tree. Worst off, a curious and unsuspecting player can go right ahead and build him with no idea what they're getting into. Or they can let a petrified tree grow for a bit too long. And then they find they can't get rid of him. And then he begins sending his seeds after their hard-earned item stations/tree acres to transform into more father trees, which they also can't get rid of. And then father tree begins sending them items...or rather item. A single smelly boot, with a note: The Tree Tolls For Thee.
        Mr.Chipper: I can't say his name out loud or he'll hear me...
