Twisted Goob is a roaming Twisted that wanders the halls aimlessly. Much like how every other Twisted attacks, he will start chasing any Toon that is in his Line of Sight. However, quite similar to, when spotting a Toon, he can stretch out his arms to grab and pull them, setting their location to his, and typically being able to use his melee attack immediately after. His ability requires Line of Sight with a Toon, meaning it will not drag them in if it connects through objects. After using his ability, he won't be able to use it again for another 10 seconds. However, he is still able to hit you with a melee attack if you get too close to him.

Appearance
Twisted Goob has a similar appearance to his Toon counterpart, but unlike so, he has longer and sharper claws. His eyes have red scleras, black irises, and small red pupils in the middle with a dark purple blush on his face. He is seen crying Ichor with a distressed expression, and his sharp teeth, that are mentioned in Goob's interaction with, can be shown. His feet are covered in Ichor, and the fluff on his forehead and cheeks is more jagged and sharp. Upon seeing a Toon, his pupils slightly dilate, and his mouth opens, showing a more distressed expression.
Strategies
Since Twisted Goob can grab Toons at range, being alert is important when you know he is on a Floor, especially in a Blackout as he can get you while he is hiding in the darkness. Stay away from wide, open spaces, and look around before turning corners or leaving cover and duck behind something the second he pauses. His ability will fail if the Toon leaves his Line of Sight, and you can tell this if he appears to pull you to no effect. This either means ducking behind cover or outranging him. Thus, s, or Toon Abilities, such as or 's, have the potential to save you if you notice him in time when he spots you. If you can't reach cover, run directly away from him to hope to escape his range as Twisted Goob's ability has a shorter cooldown than Twisted Goob cup tail attack. His ability will also fail if his Toon counterpart or his sister's use their Abilities, due to invincibility frames. This allows Goob to grab Toons before his Twisted can, or allows Scraps to grapple onto Machines or Toons before being grabbed. When Twisted Goob uses his ability, he is stalled for a few moments. Therefore, if you know it's impossible to avoid being detected, approach the edge of your current cover, let him see you, and quickly duck back behind it so his ability misses and you have time to get away. This will put his ability on cooldown and let you run away as normal. In Blackouts it’s advised to be cautious as Twisted Goob can easily catch you off guard, grabbing you from the darkness. Try to look out for his glowing eyes, preferably around a corner.
Patch history
Twisted Goob can pull Toons towards himself, but can't attack them from afar, and vice versa with, similar to their Toon counterparts. This makes him the first Twisted with a potential ranged attack, along with, and Twisted Scraps, with the second being, the third being, and the fourth being. Out of these, Twisted Goob, Twisted Scraps, and Twisted Gigi's ranged attacks are the only ones that can be blocked by. Only Twisted Goob and Twisted Scraps' are blocked by 's Passive Ability, though. In the first encounter with Twisted Goob on any Floor, he will always first attack with his ability. The same applies for Twisted Gigi and Twisted Scraps. This also makes Twisted Goob the first Twisted that can directly move a Toon. Twisted Goob, Twisted Gigi, and Twisted Scraps share some similarities. They are all Twisteds. They all have ranged attacks. In the first encounter with them on any Floor, they will start to attack with their abilities. Neither Smoke Bombs, 's Ability, nor 's Ability, can deny their abilities, but 's Active Ability and Cardboard 'Armor' can. If they spot Blot's Blot Jr. first and attack him, their abilities will be put on cooldown. They all have a yellow Spotted Visualizer arrow instead of white. This also happens with Twisteds, but with red. For all of their similarities, Twisted Goob and Twisted Scraps are the first, with the second being Twisted Gigi. His ability is not what technically damages you; he uses his melee attack right after, which is what actually makes you lose a.
