Morris is an animatronic court jester and the mascot of Watchful Eye Toys.

## Appearance

Morris is a large animatronic bat with a round head and large ears that flop down to give the appearance of a jester's cap, tipped with bells. Underneath his hat is a pair of large bat ears. His body's color is split down the middle, his left side being black and purple in coloration while his right side is white and green. He has large wings underneath his arms, and he has three fingers per hand. His eyes are a vibrant green with purple spirals inside of them. Around Morris' neck is a maroon bow with a bell and a cream-colored frill, with similar frills around his wrists.

## Personality

Morris adopts an excitable and energetic show persona, appearing happy to promote his company and share everything in store for the Watchful Eye collaboration. His true personality appears more subdued and nervous as after he believes the camera is off, his smile drops and he anxiously asks if he may go home.

## History

Morris, given life with the soul of Andrew Owens, is the mascot of Watchful Eye Toys and assists Norman on hosting the Dreamworld Interactive Tapes. Throughout the tapes, he reads viewer's comments and facilitates compiling the viewer-chosen traits for the "Amazing Automation" project.

In his first appearance, Morris introduces himself to the audience and lists the toys and innovations of Watchful Eye Toys, placing special emphasis on the company's flagship Twimblos. He also introduces the concept of the "Amazing Automation" project, a collaboration between Watchful Eye Toys and Dreamworld Entertainment to create a design for a new animatronic by involving viewer participation. Morris encourages viewers to comment what traits they would like to see for this new animatronic and explains that the top 10 most liked comments would dictate the outcome. The first tape ends with Morris looking nervously off camera and asking if he can leave.

Morris begins the second tape by reading a story about two sheep brothers, hearkening back to the story read in Episode 8, until he is interrupted and scolded by Norman for going off script. He then goes on to announce the winning traits chosen by commenters, describing the animatronic as a fluffy anthropomorphic bird with great flexibility, a mischievous yet child-friendly personality, affinity for astrology, and multiple sets of arms. He pauses on an odd comment wondering if the new animatronic would help "uncover the horrors of Dreamworld," asking Norman what that could mean. When Norman brushes it off as speculation and tells him to cut the feed, Morris speculates the possibility of the horrors referring to "dead people," which Norman immediately shuts down. After this tension, Morris closes out the tape by encouraging viewers to comment and vote on more ideas for the colors and clothing for the new animatronic.

The third interactive tape begins with Morris unveiling the new mascot, Astra. He is confused by her inability to speak, prompting Norman to explain to him that she still needs the "special something" that helps her to do so. After Norman exits with Astra, Morris runs through the comments that decided the final aspects of her design until he goes off-track reviewing comments that explain the sheep story and once again bring up Dreamworld's dark secrets when he is aggressively interrupted by Norman, who instructs Morris to end the broadcast. Once the recording session ends, Oddity approaches him with a video tape in his mouth. His curiosity piqued, Morris goes against Norman's instruction to end the video and plays the tape anyway.

The tape shows a conversation between Celio Klein and Wiatt Nicholson divulging their experiences with gender and coming to terms with being trans. Seeing humans' affirming their own identities as a commonality with robots' functionality, Morris is inspired to let Astra have the freedom to choose some aspects of her design for herself, and he runs to show Norman the tape.

When he finds Norman however, he sees several blood-stained Twimblos eating an arm that Morris recognizes as belonging to his human self, Andrew, and demands to have it back. He asks Norman if he had anything to do with it, to which Norman calmly explains that Watchful Eye Toys is the main supplier of souls to Dreamworld Entertainment. He then threatens to reboot Morris, who vehemently protests against the idea until Oddity rips off half of Norman's face. Morris, concerned, asks if he is okay, to which Norman angrily replies and then explains how Sara Covetman intends to kill Celio at her birthday in the Dreamworld Entertainment Facility. When Norman asks to have his face returned and promises to answer any questions, Morris agrees.

Morris accompanies Norman to the facility wearing a disguise. He follows him closely, eventually losing Oddity much to his dismay when he sees Wiatt again.

## Trivia

* Morris's spiral eye pattern is reminiscent of the Watchful Eye Toys logo, a large eye with a spiraling pupil.
