The creator of one of the more popular pieces of fan content was Igor Gordiyenko who is TryHardNinja on YouTube. He created the controversial Huggy Wuggy song that has around 5 million views.

In Log 08502, Huggy was briefly mentioned as Experiment 1170, and was dubbed the most optimal subject, as he possesses the ideal amount of intelligence and is obedient to the scientists working at the company. Huggy Wuggy, otherwise known as Experiment-1170, is a toy produced by Playtime Co., who makes his titular debut in Chapter 1: A Tight Squeeze. As stated by Playtime Co., Huggy is one of their most successful products.This leads to a muddled response to actual concerns children have. Banning a child from a game they are enjoying because of a related video makes it much less likely for them to talk to parents if something genuinely upsetting happens online. His monster counterpart remains largely the same, with the exception of his eyes being dilated bigger than intended, giving off a deranged and disturbing physique. Behind his lips is a maw of dozens of jagged needle-like teeth. Closer observation of Huggy's mouth shows a secondary set of jaws located by his throat, akin to that of a Moray Eel. In a trailer headshot close-up of Huggy, it seemed that behind his plastic "eyes" lie big shot, human-like eyes. I asked him what he had done to ensure that younger children didn’t have access to the video. “As a YouTube creator I have done everything in my power to make sure the video is not served to kids younger than 13. Since the moment of upload the video has been marked “Not made for kids.” Since reports of the song being served on YouTube Kids started about a month ago I have been doing my own periodical sweeps of that platform and I have never found that video or song. I understand how my video being recommended to young kids would be concerning and inappropriate, but all evidence points to the previous reports saying that it’s on YouTube Kids to being false.” According to Micah Preciado, Huggy Wuggy was not actually inspired by any animal like a dog. Instead, he was unironically inspired by Sour Patch Kids [2].

In the Monster Tutorial for Project: Playtime, it is divulged that Huggy Wuggy plays a vital role as one of the selected toys assigned by The Prototype to provide sustenance to the smaller, more vulnerable experiments such as the Wuggies. These unfortunate creatures are fed with the remains of the Resource Extraction Specialists, employees hired by Leith Pierre, who have been sent into the monster-infested factory and its attractions in an ill-fated attempt to revive the Bigger Bodies Initiative.

This however can be proven as false, as three different entities can be depicted talking to us throughout the Vent Chase via the conveyor walls. This is evident by the fact that some writings say "Starving" and "I'm so hungry." Further proven by the fact that he seems to eat you when you die. I asked what he made of the response to the song and the warnings that were appearing in headlines. “As a father, I completely understand the concern. I didn’t intentionally make the song to scare young kids. It’s a song based on a monster from the indie horror game Poppy Playtime rated for teens and up. My video is targeted to the same audience.” Huggy Wuggy was initially introduced in Chapter 1 as a statue in the Main Lobby of the factory. However, once the player restores power to the entire facility, Huggy Wuggy mysteriously disappears. Throughout the chapter, Huggy Wuggy makes occasional, brief appearances until he finally reveals himself and starts chasing the player during the intense Ventilation Chase sequence. Towards the end of the chapter, he is witnessed plummeting deep into the depths of the Playtime Co. Factory. In Chapter 1: A Tight Squeeze, Huggy strictly adheres to the objectives given by The Prototype. His task is to surveil and protect the Playtime Co. Factory, alerting others to the presence of any new intruders. Huggy takes a stealthy approach, stealthily stalking the player until finally confronting them with a lethal embrace.

Huggy Wuggy is presumed to be the one who wrote the countless words within the walls during the Vent Chase. I spoke to Zach Belanger, President and CEO of Enchanted Mob who made the Poppy Playtime game. I asked who the game was aimed at. “Poppy Playtime was not created with the intention to target any specific audience. Bear in mind that this was the first game our studio ever created, and our main priority was to create something that we would enjoy playing ourselves. Beyond that, we have a passion for any content we create to be enjoyable by audiences of all ages. To us, it isn't accurate to say that we created Poppy Playtime to be consumed by kids or adults, but rather our goal was simply to inspire and entertain anyone who decided to play the game.”As far as we are aware, all of these warnings from schools are originating from fan made content based off of our game, but if you want my personal opinion, I do not think that any of these videos should be cause for concern, and we appreciate all the hard work and dedication our fans are put toward creating content inspired off of Poppy Playtime.” However, this has been proven false, as it turns out the eyes assumed to have been viewed as a reflection of the floor. After managing to momentarily escape Huggy and landing on a brittle catwalk, the player pulls a crate onto the crumbling structure just as Huggy bursts from the vents, causing it to collapse. Though the player manages to land safely on another catwalk not far below, Huggy strikes the railing and proceeds to fall into the abyss on the facility, slamming into several pipelines and leaving behind dark red blood splatters.
