We covered way more then just the Granny! There's probably a lot I missed so if you've picked up on something or have a theory I'd love to hear it!

The fact that the Janitor doesn’t kill you in the main game, but brings you back to a previous location makes me smile.

Six: I'm hungry Gnome: Here's a sausage Six: **straight up eats the gnome** Sausage: Am I a joke to you?

"theyre all mannequins" the little nightmares 2 hospital demo: 👀

90% video: talking about characters 10% video: talking about granny

I think this video captures many of the most interesting and noteworthy details, but there are a few more details worth mentioning that add to this theory: - As most have already theorized, the Lady is Six's mother, and this can be inferred based off of portraits in the Lady's Quarters of a little girl in a yellow dress with pale skin and black hair (the same color as Six's rain coat, who also has the same skin and hair color). There is also the portrait of that same little girl and the Lady standing together in the dining hall, which can be briefly spotted as Six runs away from the Guests. But there is more to this, and it may explain why Six has an unnatural hunger and why the Lady has magic. In the kitchen, there is a hidden room that Six can enter via falling through the floor, and in that room there are various pictures of the Lady stored. But there is one picture that stands out above all the rest, and it's a picture of the LADY WITHOUT A MASK! It reveals that behind the porcelain mask, the Lady only has ONE EYE in the middle of her face! Not only does this explain why the Lady's eyes look black and nonexistent when she has the mask on, because her single eye does not match up with the eye holes in her mask, but also explains why every design in the Maw shows a SINGLE EYE - on doors, on carpets, in pictures, everything! The eyes that gaze around the prison and turn children attempting to escape into stone are controlled by the Lady - the only being of the Maw who possesses magic, whose official website description describes her as being responsible for casting the spell that keeps the Maw's engine running; the description of the Lady's Quarters, where she resides, only amplifies this theory, as it is described as being akin to "the heart" of the Maw! Putting all of this together, we can come to the conclusion that the Lady is an ancient, one-eyed otherworldly being (possibly some form of yokai from Japanese mythology) who must subsist by feeding on the souls of the Guests. The more they eat, the more life force she is able to consume from them. If Six is her daughter, then it makes sense that Six would have inherited her mother's insatiable hunger. But why does the Lady hate Six, then, if they are so much alike? Well, we can infer that the Lady is extremely vain, as she is constantly witnessed staring at her reflection in broken mirrors and brushing her hair. If the man we find hanging toward the beginning of the game is in fact Six's father, then his face may have intentionally not been shown by the game developers because he is THE ONLY CHARACTER ASIDE FROM SIX THAT LOOKS HUMAN! Six could have ended up with powers like her mother but physically looking more like her father! The Lady, jealous of Six's human-looking features, wears a mask just to try to mimic her daughter's beauty, but to no avail. As Six continued to grow up and blossom into her beauty, the Lady became more enraged, and eventually attempted to have her own daughter killed so that her blossoming beauty would not pose a threat to her! Six's father, fearing for his daughter's safety, put Six in a suitcase and hid her away from the Lady to protect her, which is where we find Six at the beginning of the game. Fearing what his wife would do to him as a result of this decision, he took his own life. This may be why we find a man hanging near an unopened letter near the bottom of the ship, not far from where we are first introduced to Six! He could have finally discovered the horrible secret of his wife and took his own life, unable to live with the guilt and horror of her true nature! - The Granny may in fact not be the grandmother of Six, but perhaps the grandmother of the Janitor! The dolls the Janitor surrounds himself with look identical to the one the Boy finds in the sewers where the Granny dwells, and the Janitor seems to have a preference for visiting that room. The hallway which interconnects to that room is also filled with grandfather clocks, and there is an identical grandfather clock in the lair of the Granny. Furthermore, both she and the Janitor possess an identical trait - long, slender arms with bony outstretched fingers! The Janitor's website description describes him as being a drifter before he finally found the Maw. The Granny might be the only family member the Janitor has, and he is being blackmailed to carry out his duty to capture children and dispose of their deceased bodies to the kitchen in exchange for the Granny being kept alive in the sewers, where she is fed leftover fish heads. This may be supported during Six's exploration of the Janitor's room, which has several portraits of the Nomes in it, hanging in frames. This implies that the Janitor has a very close relationship with the Nomes, who are themselves not malicious creatures. Consequently, this could mean that unlike other denizens of the Maw, the Janitor is not inherently malevolent in nature, and is only doing the job that has been commanded of him to keep his Granny alive. We never see the Janitor go out of his way to harm a child, merely capturing them instead and bringing them back to their rooms, except for when they've died and he must send them up to the kitchen. As Six, we can even see him checking on the kids sleeping in their cribs, which to me, signifies that he has a soft spot for them and genuinely cares about their needs! The Granny, similarly, doesn't seem to want to intentionally harm children either, and can be seen attempting to give them a hug after she drags them underwater because she is lonely. Unfortunately, because she has been isolated for so long, she does not know that children can't breathe underwater, and accidentally drowns them. It's possible that the Granny knows what horrors befall the children of the Maw and is trying to protect and comfort them - a threat to the lifespan, power, and/or perceived beauty of the Lady, who banished her to the sewers. When the Boy keeps evading the Granny, she is enraged, feeling disrespected and upset that he's trying to leave her just like everyone else has, so she tries to destroy what little floor remains for him to stand on and trap him there with her. When the Boy finally escapes the Granny's lair and ascends a ladder to the floor above it, who does he find? The Janitor! Of all the denizens of the Maw he could have encountered immediately after his encounter with the Granny, he encounters the Janitor, almost as if the Janitor was going down to the depths of the Maw to check on the Granny! Overall, I think Little Nightmares is a story about family trauma and the impact it has on a child, who themself grows up to be a _Little Nightmare_ and follow in the footsteps of abuse, repeating the cycle all over again, which is indicated by Six stealing her mother's powers and we then hear a boat in the distance signifying the arrival of more Guests, meaning Six will continue her mother's legacy.

I have an idea, from around 12:00, and then on, I realized that the granny doesn't seem at all like a mannequin. In fact, if she was, she wouldn't be able to withstand water. If was a mannequin, she wouldn't have been killed by electricity. When he said grandmothers tend to make gifts, for their grand children, I thought that the granny might actually have been Six's grandmother. She couldn't have been anyone else's grandmother, judging by the guest's poor lifestyles, she wouldn't have being able to live that long. The granny could have been making all those dolls for Six or The Lady. The Lady then saw the granny's use, and abandoned her in the depths of the Maw. She was then enslaved into making larger mannequins or puppets for The Lady to make into servants like the janitor or the chefs, which perfectly explains why the granny is fed and even worth keeping alive.

7:44 six stands for the 7 deadly sins where six is gluttony that's what I think

Also I’m pretty sure that in that room filled with shoes it one of the guest still alive trying to eat you

The janitor is cool, He just trien to keep his cleaning job. He a real Custodial Artist

I have a theory: You know the "dad" (or whatever his name is) the chair is far too small for his long, tall body. Or when the man hung himself the chair should've been knocked down... So, what if someone killed the man and made it seem like he hung himself?

Here's my theory: The runaway kid and Six's story start at the same time, hence the reason we only see Six and the kid together once the janitor catches them. So once they escape, the Hideaway begins. And the reason why every switch/lever are child size because of the Granny, she doesn't get out of the water remember, so I'd imagine she reaches out of it. The lever to rise/lower the water level could be used for food reasons, to catch rats or something like that. And am I the only one who thinks that this GRANNY theory is more about the Maw and NOT the granny? Edit: Oh one more thing, that doll gave me hellish nightmares

12:43 "Awwwww!" "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" I freaking choked up i was laughing so hard at that XD

Who else is binge watching Little Nightmares videos after Little Nightmares 2 was announced?

I honestly think the granny was the original lady but her daughter ( the younger lady ) took her place and locked her in the depths of the maw,

"But hey! That's just a theory, a beaver theory!" Mat *inhales deeply* "Hold my beer!"

The girl that you follow in the DLC might be the one the janitor wrapped up becuase the both have that teared black coat and she did die in the DLC

I have a theory explaining Six's hunger: As we all know, Six's campaign starts when she wakes up in her suitcase. But if you look closely, you can see pictures taped up on the inside of the suitcase, which she must have had time to do; this means she has been there for a while. Also, Six wakes up in the suitcase (as previously mentioned), which no-one does, and this shows she is not wanted, so she wouldn't be fed. Assuming she has been scavenging food, Six does not belong anymore, which is why the Lady (possibly her mother) left a suitcase for her and sent her to the deep depths of the Maw, showing she loved Six when she was sent down. The boy, however, wakes up in a bed, which shows he is cared for, and fed, maybe by the Janitor, so he doesn't have the occasional hunger spikes. This is the end of my theory. Loved your theories, Beaver, and I hope you achieve greatness!

Look. A lot of the theories include having the lady be six's mother, but the creators confirmed that Six is in no way related to the lady, which really changes things up.

I once saw a very interesting theory about the granny being the last person who occupied the Lady's "job" in the maw. As if, when she got older, someone replaced her with a younger version. And, if you've already seen the "Very Little Nightmares" game, the Pretender would be the one who would be the one being raised to be the next Lady, the next boss of the Maw.

i dont think that the runaway girl was eaten by a leech but maybe killed by one there is a scene where the janitor is rapping up dead kids in.. bags or something. the first child he holds up is the runaway girl not sure if am right but hey it just a theory

After playing through this dlc I decided to play the main story again and I noticed a few things 1: During the final chapter when u are going up the stairs to the lady's room there is a picture of an old lady on the wall this is the granny 2: leeches do eat children like in the comics the little girl in the dlc probably wasn't watching what was in front of her and ended up being eaten by the leech 3: The granny has been abandoned to rage and decay maybe she saw what her daughter the lady was doing to the guests and the children and tried to stop her and the lady banished her to the depths this is why she hugs children she is sad and wants to comfort the poor children but she has forgotten how to 4: The monsters as puppets doesn't really make much sense because puppets don't make sound and also when u chop the janitors arms of he screams in pain puppets don't feel pain because they aren't alive 5: The boy doesn't get hungry because he has been living in a room which the janitor probably hands food out to but six has been living in a suitcase away from everyone so she wouldn't get food given to her 6: The furniture in the depths is tied down because it makes up the granny's house underwater there is a picture of it in the concept art 7: All the paintings of little girls in the lady's room that people say are six could actually be the lady as a little girl think about it the lady hates looking at herself in the mirror and banishes anyone prettier than her maybe she would only rather look at herself as a child because she feels ok with looking at a younger version of herself

Wait, am I the only one thinking, that in that part where we see, *"You can only understand her, by finishing his story."* Do they mean by completing the RunawayKid's story, will they understand Six's story.

It'll be crazy if the entire little nightmares universe started out good and wholesome and then you see if montage of how everything turned dark and twisted.

but why dose the chef need to scratch under his mask if hes just a mannequin? please like so James can see....

This game seems based on Spirited Away. The gnomes are like the Suet Balls, the guests are like the spirits, 6 is like Chihiro, the runaway boy is like Haku, the janitor is like Kamaji the spider limbed boiler man, the guests are also like Chihiro's parents when they pig out, and the geisha is like Yubaba.

My theory for the granny is that she was hired to be the caretaker of the captured children when the Maw started. Hence the abandoned playground we see between the electrical doors. She wanted to keep the children happy and was a loving person until the others started to kill and prepare the children for eating. She tried to stop them somehow but was overpowered and sent to the Depths. After so long being there she will attack anything, even the children she loved, as she has gone insane. She also may have been connected to the hanging man in the prison chapter. This happens relatively close to her old playground. Since the chair doesn’t reach the mans legs, maybe she killed him when he tried to take the children, explaining why she was sent to the Depths.

Who else finished Little Nightmares 2 and watching part 1 videos to tie it all together?

When it says,"her story will be explained by completing his adventure" maybe that means by completing Seven's adventure that Six's story will be explained.

8:00 look at the painting on the bottom left it looks like six is wearing the janitors hat like so people can see

One thing I noticed was that the Granny was much smaller than the other monsters. The Janitor, the Chefs, and the Guests were all 4 or 5 times the size of Six, while the Granny was only 2 or 3 times. Dunno if this really helps any theories, this was just an observation

The ‘Runaway girl’ may have been the dead child you see the janitor rapping up.

i think the legs of the hanging man are actually the janitors, it would make sense why they are so long. just like the janitors arms.

The hanging man could be the opposite version of the janitor. Long legs, short arms.

Title: WHAT IS THE GRANNY? me: a granny

Looking at it again it looks like it is the runaway girl that gives six the bread not the runaway boy

for a place so unkept they have so many fresh rolls of fluffy white toilet paper...

My theory is that the chefs are wearing flesh suits out of the guests and underneath are hideous monsters. As we see one of the chefs going up to the guest area means that they are allowed to up and be seen with the guest which implys to the fact of wolf in sheeps clothing. The chef need to make the guests think that they are one of them in order to kill the guests. About the geisha, both she and six consume souls meaning that they aren't human, now my theory is that the father of six is the hung man and was controlled by the lady to commit the murder on himself. Therefore we see the doll in the depths, could the granny have made it or were the dephts just the janitor's old lair, and about the granny, what realation/purpose does she serve in the maw, pipes cleaner, drainage checker etc. Now about the janitor, I believe that he isn't a puppet like the rest of the inhabitants of the maw, but rather a misunderstood monster of the shadows. In his description it says that he fled the world and found the maw. This proves that the janitor has never lived a normal life because of the ridicule the world gave him, he found the maw and has made comfort in isolation, away from the real monsters. And I believe that all those dolls are from and for the janitor because living in a submursable resort in the deepest part away from social interactions can make someone lonley, and because of his looks he has no friends, so he makes friends. As we see the dis-arming of the now smitten janitor, I saw a feint liquid, blood-like essence escape his shoulders to his arms. I believe this is blood. And that is my theory on the characters of little nightmares, thank you for read this. :)

I always believed the tiny dress mentioned at 10:55 was of the little girl that had the flashlight, not the granny. Since her description says she was abandoned.

Well 2021 kinda ruined this theory, Their not puppets their just deformed humans from the broadcast

The room of shoes is reminiscent to the Nazi concentration camps...a truly horrific visage.

8:08 Look To The Right There is a paper with a girl in yellow clothes or something... Could that be six?

2:56 DAT HAT DO BE LOOKIN NICE THO-

After LN2, "some pieces of HER story will be revealed after completing HIS adventure", HIS meaning MONO.

I believe there could be Six runaway children. In the comic there are four other children who have escaped and asked Six to stay, showing they dont know her. So, including Six, that's five run away children. Where's the last one? I believe that to be the runaway boy. Perhaps the boy was part of that group of children before? He also had a chain on his leg. Maybe he was consistantly trying to escape and at some point met the group, then got captured again, hence why he woke up in a bed. Maybe the othr children just named themselves numbers as they never had names and or they needed to keep count of how many people escaped. In the comic, it also stated how Six can't remember much. This could be another reason for her unusual name as she can't remember her real one. I believe, since there has been six children seen, there could be six story lines.

Normal man Sees 'theories' in title. Sees that it is by The Gaming Beaver 😱😱😱

Now your theory of the monsters being mannequins makes sense. During the first part of the new Little Nightmares 2 demo you see them making giant mannequins. And, they move and chase after you.

16:20 My one question is how the hell does that meat have SUCH GOOD MARBLING

the runaway girl was killed by leaches and taken by the janitor

When the janitor looks scary. But you think he’s friendly and cute at the sametime :)

I come back to gaming beavers theory videos a lot. They made up a lot of the experience of LN 1 for me. He really contributed to the charm and feeling of the game. ✨

I have a theory, so you know how the janitor had all of those manikins or dolls, why would he have that. And why would there be drawings on the wall of what looks like the janitor and children. When the janitor came he was supposed to take care of the children, he did that job and the children loved him. So you explain that he must’ve had eyes at some point, so when he came he could see these children, but who where making the toys. The janitor could’ve but he would have to brought someone with him to make it, she the janitor didn’t come alone. He brought the granny. So that is why he has all of those dolls, he very much misses her. They had a close relationship then so maybe they where actually together, because they both have a thing of grabbing and not killing people. So maybe the janitor and the granny where the hanging mans parents. The janitor has long arms and the hanging man is pretty long or tall. And in one of the pictures, the lady seems to have one eye. So if she had one eye then where would six get her jeans from. The hanging man be six’s father. That is a huge theory that I believe but it might sound stupid to you, idk.

18:40 I have another thing to support that : After six kills her “mother” she walks down the path to the entrance to the Maw, with the guests franticly trying to grab her. With the guest making all of that noise, wouldn’t the staff heard (since the chef was known to be nearby)? If the lady is the heart of the maw and is controlling the mannequins and then she died, she no longer has the ability to control the mannequins therefor they end up “lifeless.”

The part you mentioned of her story being explained by completing his adventure might mean monos adventure is how we find out more about six. I also think the hanging man is what six thinks of mono since it’s her nightmare.

"Those gnomes so cute" is my favourite line in this video and I agree thay are so adorable!!!

Wait at 2:30 in the video when The janitor is wrapping the bodies he is wrapping the body of the girl from the DLC version that had the flashlight and disappeared like if you saw that or agree

MatBeaver the smartest beaver in the world

"the chefs being the only ones who do this" The Guests, who eat you: Are we a joke for you?

“The lady” doesn’t kill you, she turns you into a nome thingy I can’t spell so I’m sorry if It’s the wrong spelling. *lil spoiler ahead* (By the way this is kinda a theory because of what she does to the kid in the dlc. She turns him into a nome and he then gets eaten by six.

My theory is that before the runaway kid was able to reach the runaway girl is that she was grabbed by the leach either by the foot or arm. She put up one hell of a fight before the leach was able to kill her... But once the leach grabbed, and had killed her, the janitor found her and took the leach off and took her away to take her back to where she came from... But had found out she was dead...

I'm not sure if your noticed/ saw this already but in the original little nightmares game when your escaping from the twin chiefs for the final time by jumping onto the hooks, if you look in the background their is a noose. I found this interesting! :)

0:56 GamingBeaver: "there is no kids turned into stone" Statue below the eye: hey how you doin'

“Also to look awesome wit DAT H A T!”

I think The Janitor is the grandpa of six, Granny is Her Granny (well, of course xD) And the dead person hanging is her dad and the lady is her Mother ? Maybe? :D If you read this and want me to write my whole theory down then just ask Please :D (Its morning this is why i cant write things for a long time if ya know what I am talking about ;) ) Also have a good morning/Day/Night/ Boiiiiii

"who else do we know who is a girl?" ahem flipping runaway girl!

12:40 made me laugh so hard 😂

I think that the Janitor actually made the dolls we saw for the kids to play with.As the first chapter called the prison in six's campaign it had a lot of things for the kids to play.There were toys,balls,small trains,and the dolls wich the Janitor made for the children.That is why there was elecric fences.Because the Janitor didnt want for any of the kids to leave because he wanted to protect them.As the video said that the Janitor cared only for the kids wich were alive.He cared only to put the kids back because he knew that if he didnt do that they would all died.Especially he cared about Six as well.Because when the game started after the bed-suitcase there were cans of food,Buckets of water and a candle for heat.That Means that the Janitor gave six the only things she needed to survive for a couple of days.He is known as the Friendly Janitor.He was the only one in the Maw that didnt kill six.And one more thing.I dont think that the monsters are puppets.If you look closely when the door chops Janitor's arms there is blood coming out.not a lot of bleeding but you can probably see it.Maybe if you put the game's gamma on 100% then you'll see it.But I think you can see it anyways.Or maybe the Game Creators didnt want to show a lot of blood because it would probably be for 18+ not 16.

An idea I would like to add to your puppet theory: I think she might've used trapped souls that she sucked from their bodys, and they are kept in those bottles that you find that when broken, something comes out, And that something would be trapped souls that you free, but the janitor, chefs, and granny are puppets with souls so broken and lost they have foorgotten what they were before.

Maybe the lady uses the eye security cameras to monitor the mannequins? Just a sugestion. But i do think the eyes play a significant role

4:09 I just imagine Six gets bored, and when she sees a shoe she sings: 🎵Shoes here shoes there shoes everywhere On the Maw Shoes shouldn't be Nom-Nommed.🎵 I call it "Six's Shoe Song of Silliness".

13:48 ← so at this time stamp, the gaming Beaver tried to connect the doll with the hanging man, but I also believe that the hanging man is the Pretender's father, (from the mobile game) And maybe the Pretender threw away that doll because it reminded her of her dad and how he just "passed away" so she chucked it and it somehow ended up in the maw, but it could also be a random doll idk- (also I know I'm late but I just found out about this game and starting to get really into it.)

When six walking by all those “people” it look like she takes there energy/life.So maybe the lady gave the puppets life and six is taking them :0 just a Theory

dose it seem to anyone that the nomes kind of struggle to get out of six's grasp when she hugs them.....i just thought it looked weird....

Now that Little Nightmares II is coming out, and we've seen plenty of puppets/mannequins(?), I think you nailed this one on the head.

Who else lost it at “BaD lEeCh”

The Granny still gives me nightmares. I don't even take baths anymore

come on guys! the grand maw just wants a nice little child to tell her boring stories to (also in my word she kinda looks like a kappa with her hair like that

POV: You know why she's hungry now after littlenight mares 2

little nightmares dlc: hanging man little nightmares 2: tHiN mAn

... ... im so..surprised?....confused?... i dont know...just,...ive never heard this theory from anyone before..you did a great job on coming up with this theory....

18:23 BEST PART

"Perhaps all she needs is a hug" Everyone: Awwww! Kid: *shrieks* My sides hurt xD

Your theory is right on the nail, I think that they took an older person though and used him with a puppet and that’s what the janitor is and that’s probably why he’s not trying to kill you when he sees you. I think he somehow didn’t get killed but lost his lower portion somehow . And him and the granny are somehow connected as well as the children. Perhaps a trip gone wrong?

The hanging man is the wax bellmen because the song with the janitor says hung hung hung the wax bellmen hope this helped you out

The Granny is my grandma

im late to the party and this is probably already known. but alot of the theories are more easily explained and come together better here when you take into account the mobile game. the lady has a connection to the pretender, the craftsman clearly makes dolls. etc. this can connect back to the granny and six etc.

When I saw mono turn too tall man and the chair I thought it was the man that hung himself in the beginning

It happened before because at 5:00 the curtain rope thing is what six climbed up to get into the nursery

a

I know I'm 3 years late and watching this but. The Granny might be Geisha's daughter or so... The girl in the picture with her, I mean. I think Geisha looks young because of the children that she turned into Gnomes. I'm just piecing it out.

The black coming out of the janitors arms were probably some of the lady’s powers since if they were cut off the lady would probably not have the ability to control them anymore.

08:13 there is also a drawing of six on the box on the right

I think that once u start eating human meat u cant stop, so i think the guest are eating their own kind so once they start they cant stop eating till they fall asleep then the get killed and then get made into more meat. But i dunno it just my theory. :P like if u think it is a good theory:P

2:44 That’s not necessarily true. The kid was wrapped in that bag and he was still alive and escaped.

Actually, the runawaykid is some kind of before six but at the end the same time, because when the runaway kid escapes the play room in the depths, the girl puts a rope and gets down on it, and six then see’s the rope and climbs it, so it makes sense that its before, and because at the same time, at the rope, the janitor drags someone, I thinks thats the runaway kid, if it is him, its wayyyy before six, but then at the end of the dlc same time.

WE HAVE TO WAIT TILL NOVEMBER FOR PART 2 NOOOOOOO

1 of the deaths in the kitchen is you get put into a fish head and the granny eats them so there are children inside of those fish heads.

I just thought I'd revisit this after a few years. I used to watch your Little Nightmares theory videos back in 2017 as a ten-year-old. I always thought you were really good with your theories. I miss 2017, Little Nightmares, and being ten years old. Thanks for the cool memories.

The janitor with his dad hat! Love your videos

I knew it! So there are hints that the guests ARE killed and/or fed to the next guests. In the second Little Nightmares game, many 'adults' seem to have vanished entirely in some cases, and all that's left are their shoes and clothes. I saw the 1st game in full AFTER the second, so I wasn't all that surprised until the revealing of the children who died, and guests being present in the ship as well. I knew the shoes were the 'adults', but until the Lady was revealed, I wasn't sure WHY there were so many.
