The concept of humans in Battle for Dream Island is a topic that is rarely addressed. Humans are sentient mammals/non-objects that don't appear in Battle for Dream Island; instead their role is taken by anthropomorphic objects.

In early episodes of Battle for Dream Island, humans seemed to be absolutely nonexistent in the BFDI universe. However, later episodes seemed to imply human existence. Whether humans ever existed or not in the BFDI universe is debatable. It is unknown if humans will truly appear in in the show (though unlikely). If they do, it is unknown what they would look like in the BFDI style.

Despite the evidence, it is currently unconfirmed by the crew that humans do exist in the BFDI universe.

It appears that an average object in Battle for Dream Island is around 3 feet compared to the skeleton.

Background[]

Humans made their very first mention in "Half a Loaf Is Better Than None", in a split second text passage after Announcer gives the remaining armless contestants 10 sympathy points, where the text says that a human would be so excited that their heart's BPM would reach 2,400, ultimately causing their death. The same text passage praises the armless contestants for not experiencing what humans would.

In "Cycle of Life", pictures of a human cooking and a child kicking a soccer ball are seen on the pink "YOU DO!" paper.

It is established that the characters are aware of the existence of humans, such as Firey in "Gardening Hero", where after David is eliminated, he says that David looked like a human with Firey commenting afterwards "whatever that is".

In "Yeah, Who? I Wanna Know", Puffball's favorite screen is shown to be that of Abraham Lincoln on the US penny. However, it should be noted that this could be a reference to the Homestar Runner Easter egg on the "Fluffy Puffs Commercial" animation, where when playing the original flash animation and pressing the L key would create a border of a head resembling Abraham Lincoln.

In "Catch These Hands", someone who enters Hell has a realistic limbs as well having a nose with no ears, and they look identical to real life humans.

In "Lots of Mud", Jack Frew makes an appearance in the episode's opening, where he talks to Fries. After Fries insults Jack's enjoyment of eating mud, he shakes the former until he is unconscious. After this, he exclaims "April Fools!" and disintegrates, leaving only his ears and hair.

In "Getting Teardrop to Talk", Gelatin is choosing the last few members to fill up what would become Team Ice Cube!. He excludes David for being human and calling him weird. David responds saying "Aw, seriously?", presumably in frustration or disappointment.

In "Lick Your Way to Freedom", once Donut is flung away by Four and X, a group of Recommended Characters can be seen, with one of them among the crowd being Jacknjellify, which consisted of the key members at the time: Michael Huang, Cary Huang, and Satomi Hinatsu. Notably, they are drawn as humans rather than Davidian. More recommended characters that are humans would appear later on, such as Amor Boretto, Kenzie Bryant, Jack (based on Jack Frew from I Can Make a Difference!), and Jellify are all based on humans. Although Satomi Hinatsu confirmed the ones based on members of the jacknjellify crew to be cardboard cutouts, their human-like depiction could still imply the existence of them.[1]

Humans would make an explicit mention in "Fashion For Your Face!", where during the epilogue after Flower gets Purple Face to wear a sweater, it is mentioned that "scientists" discovered that the Yoyle dust used as the glitter for Flower's sweaters caused itchiness on human skin, and in rare cases, death.

The voters who vote on episodes are humans. Sometimes, characters will call the voters by name, which was first seen in "Puzzling Mysteries".

David's species[]

While David has been referred to as a human before, there is evidence that points towards him not actually being one. For example, Firey refers to David as a human, but then comments that he doesn't know what a human is. Therefore, it's likely Firey doesn't have much of an idea of what a human is and might have mistold David's species.

David also shows multiple abilities that humans don't have, for example, being able to survive poisonous bugs, grow two more heads, and inflate his head (at least shown in one of his clones).

These instances imply evidence that humans do (or at least did) exist in the Battle for Dream Island universe.

  • Perhaps the most glaring example, David, Dora and Davidians itself looks humanoid in appearance, possibly replaced by humans prior to the series.
  • Another glaring exmaple, Jack Frew and Jellify Frew are humans although clearly humans do not appear in the series itself after a natural or paranormal causes or a nuclear war, in which humans are wiped out in the BFDI universe.
  • In "Lick Your Way to Freedom", JacknJellify appears as a recommended character of human in a cardboard cutout. Slimy also appears as a slime figure of a human.
