This seems curious to me, as he doesn’t outright kill her. Six fleeing from The Janitor in Little Nightmares.Īnother thing I found interesting is that when The Janitor captures Six at one point in the game, he tucks her away in a cage.
Instead, they seem to sustain themselves through a sort of essence or life force (as indicated by Six gaining strength from living things like the rat, the Nome, and The Lady at the end). So, it’d make some semblance of sense that they wouldn’t be interested in eating human meat. Six retrieving the bread thrown to her in the beginning of Little Nightmares.īoth The Lady and Six appear the most “human” of all the characters you meet in Little Nightmares, aside from the hanging bodies and shadowed children (who are likely there as food). In contrast, when you see Six consume the piece of bread tossed to her at the beginning of the game, the bread is fully eaten and nothing is left behind. The same can be said of the rat she comes across, as its corpse is also left behind when Six is done with it. Is this because the sausage is made up of human meat, and Six either cannot ingest it, or refuses to?įurthermore, does Six really "eat" the Nome in the traditional sense of the word, or does she simply consume its life essence in a similar manner to the way she consumes Guests at the end of the game? We ask this because the Nome's body is still left behind after she’s done “eating” it. What’s interesting is that when Six is offered what appears to be a sausage by a Nome towards the end, she rejects it and consumes the Nome instead. The same can be said of Six, who consumes a variety of things, but never any of the meat that the Guests eat. In a way, she feels somewhat similar to a vampire as her weaknesses are both the light and mirrors (vampires reportedly cannot see their own reflection). Instead, she consumes their life essence which resembles a sort of black mist. This is further emphasized by the bodies found hanging around The Maw, the strange shoe graveyard, and the variety of cages meant to harbor children prior to consumption.įrom what I can gather, The Lady doesn’t appear to eat humans in the same way that the Guests do. The Guests of The Maw appear to primarily dine on human children that are butchered by the Twin Chefs and processed into meat. However, could Six's hunger actually be by choice and/or design? Well, aside from her small stature and extreme hunger pangs. Going a step further, Six actually seems quite well-off compared to everyone else aboard The Maw. Out of everyone and everything you encounter, Six bears the strongest resemblance to The Lady (aside from her size being nearly identical to that of the Nomes).
In contrast, the other entities aboard The Maw are either dirty, damaged, monsters, captive children, or gluttonous Guests. Six stands out thanks to her bright yellow raincoat and lighter. When you first meet Six, you instantly notice her bright yellow raincoat and her endless lighter. There are several pieces of evidence to suggest this, so let's start with the things that set Six apart. How did Six end up aboard The Maw in Little Nightmares?īecause of Six’s relatively untouched status at the beginning of Little Nightmares, it's plausible that Six is in fact the daughter of The Lady of The Maw. Furthermore, it's obvious that the only real way to reach The Maw is by boat. Little Nightmares makes it clear from the very beginning that The Maw is a dangerous place to anyone who isn’t an employee (The Janitor, Twin Chefs), one of the Guests, or The Lady who appears to run The Maw. This resulted in us asking several questions, such as how did Six end up at the bottom of The Maw in the first place? When we finished playing Little Nightmares, we couldn't help but wonder whether Six is actually the daughter of The Lady. Note: This article contains several story spoilers for Little Nightmares. We’ve already covered the story summary and ending explanation of Little Nightmares here at Indie Obscura, but we didn’t go into detail about one theory in particular that we can’t seem to shake off… is Six the daughter of The Lady? A few fan theories have cropped up following the release of Little Nightmares, specifically in relation to the game’s strange story and ending. In Little Nightmares, players are given little to no information regarding the various characters aboard The Maw, including Six and the infamous woman known as The Lady.
