Hatty Hattington is one of the main characters in-game alongside the Player, and is the captain of the SS Friendship. He wears a brown coat lined with gold, and a red jabot.

Shortly after the S.S. Friendship crew shipwrecks onto the island that the Theater is on, he gets taken hostage by the Cat Guards, and is forced to put on the haunted theater hat to be proclaimed the new theater manager, with the overwhelming nature of the theater hat and the souls haunting it resulting in him having a constant trail of tears running down his face for the rest of the game, alongside being immobilized at times, such as in the ending cutscene of the game and during the Buckle Your Pants Sequence, the strain of the hat on his mind effectively rendering him brain-dead. He then presumably drowned after falling into the ocean and sinking to the bottom.

Personality[]

Described by the Narrator to be the 'best friend to one and all', Hatty is a jovial and well-hearted person, extremely friendly and quick to break up fights and ensure everyone gets along; when Rigel and Reginald began arguing during the storm, Hatty told them to "be nice."

He's also been described to love hugs by the Narrator. According to Dan Paladin, Hatty "really looked out for his crew", further emphasizing his caring nature.

Trivia[]

  • His outfit may take inspiration from 17th and 18th century sailors, who often wore frills and jabots, alongside long coats lined with golden colors and buttons.
  • Hatty can also be seen in Pit People and Castle Crashers, two other games developed by The Behemoth.
  • Hatty was an unlockable head for Xbox 360 avatars, unlocked just by finishing the intro to the story.
  • Hatty's official Minecraft skin from the Halloween Charity Skin Pack on the Xbox 360 Edition predates the release of BattleBlock Theater by almost 6 months.
  • Hatty's suit seems to have been added very late in development, as a decent amount of his appearances in-game depict him without it.
  • According to Dan Paladin, Hatty was originally supposed to be hypno-crazed into putting the hat on willingly, as opposed to having the hat forced onto him, like what happens in the final game.
  • Henry stickman has a painting of him in the "Breaking a bank" mission
