How it works.
- Swallows a flying nightmare whole, any but the Moth Queen, a boss, then chews: 9s for a mouthful of up to 1,800 health (all it has left: health, helmet, shield, blanket and ice), and that many times longer for a meal that many mouthfuls big. While it chews it can do nothing else, and it holds its catch, smaller and smaller, until it swallows it.
- The Moth Queen gets a bite of 450 damage every 3 seconds instead.
- It only ever targets flying nightmares; ground nightmares walk past it.
- Toughness 300: what nightmares have to chew through to get past it.
The Bedtime Book says, at Lv 1
Swallows any monster but a boss or a Wardrobe Golem. Chews 9s for up to 1,800 HP, longer for a bigger meal. Toughness 300.
And at Lv 25
Swallows any monster but a boss or a Wardrobe Golem. Chews 4.6s for up to 5,060 HP, longer for a bigger meal. Toughness 660.
Every level, 1 to 25.
Upgrading costs coins, once, and lasts for good. Lv 25 costs 373,600 coins in all. The green rows are the levels with a milestone perk.

Lv 1 against Lv 25.
The same scene twice, recorded in the game: on top with the toy at Lv 1, below at Lv 25.
Measured from the recording. Nightmares in a real night have more health the deeper the level (the curve), so times there differ; the ratio is what an upgrade buys. Every toy's comparison

Ranks 1 to 5 are free; from M6 a rank costs 10 gems × the rankfrom M6 a rank costs coins: 10 × the rank × what a gem is worth at your progress (92 coins once the story is done, less before). Every rank also needs 20 × the rank counted wins with the toy at Lv 25. Dream Light adds another 0.5% damage and toughness per level to every toy. How Mastery works
Using it.
The game's tip
Butterfly Nets catch flyers that come close. A big flyer takes longer to empty out; the Moth Queen just gets a bonk.
