Rainimator Production Team

The Rainimator Production Team is a group of writers, animators and skin/set designers working under Rainimator. They were formed during the creation of Wishing Dead and have helped create subsequent episodes. The faster release intervals after "Falling" have been attributed to their work.

** Dano appeared in Cold as Ice, running from the Ender Dragon.
*** Dano also appears in We Are the Danger living in Glacierford.
** The_MLG_Pizza appeared in 1 of a Kind as the second zombie Zach was forced to fight, as well as holding a "tribute character" in the form of Doctor Fegelin in Be Afraid.
