Stage Actors |
The Stage Actors are performers in Gloria's Theater in Psychonauts. They are actors who are continuously performing a dual-mood play that retells events from Gloria Von Gouton's life.
Appearance[]
Some are dressed as flowers, some wear dog costumes, and some bird costumes. Their appearances change whenever the Mood Machine setting is swapped.
When the positive candlelight shines through the Mood Machine, the sets appear as bright, happy meadows full of sunlight. The actors appear as cheerful flowers, playful dogs, and happy birds. When the sad candlelight shines through the Mood Machine, the sets become dark, dreary, and sorrowful. The actors become monstrous thistles, vicious hellhounds, and horrifying bats. The aggressive actors also have teeth, while the friendly actors do not.
Actors[]
Flower/Thistle Girls[]
There are three flower girls on stage. The head of the flowers wears a green flower costume with blue petals. The froggy-voiced one wears a blue flower costume with orange petals. The smallest one has a high, squeaky voice and wears a light green flower costume with pink petals. When they turn aggressive, they have dark eyes, small sharp fangs, and wear dark green thistle costumes with sickly green thorns. When spinning, they can only be harmed by Pyrokinesis.
Dogs (Puppies)/Hellhounds[]
The dogs appear with brown floppy ears, beige-colored fur, tan spots, and panting tongues. When they turn aggressive, they transform into feral hounds with deep purple fur, spiked purple collars, and yellow eyes that are immune to fire. They can attack with their claws and jaws and will even breathe flames at their foes.
Birds/Bats (Harpies)[]
The birds resemble happy little bluebirds and are suspended by support wires. When they turn aggressive, they become large, dark purple bats. They use a ranged attack that consists of emitting a piercing shriek that deals massive damage.

Strategy[]
The actors won't attack Raz unless the machine is in the sullen mood. The thistles use a deadly spin attack, the feral hounds breathe fire, and the bats shoot shrieking soundwaves. In this case, Marksmanship is the way to go. Pyrokinesis can also sap away their health. If Confusion has already been acquired, Raz can use Confusion Grenades on them. During the battle with Jasper Rolls, several demented actors will try and stop Raz. More actors attack as the fight progresses.
