Robert
“"お友達の事はお忘れなさい。この廊下で起こっている事は、あまりにも恥ずかしい事だ！"
("Please forget about your friends. The things happening in these corridors are too shameful for words!")”
― Robert, Extinction Party
Robert is a character who appears in Extinction Party.
Appearance
Robert appears to be encased in a green dome-like UFO with circular windows and three orange pads on the bottom, resembling Japanese pop-culture depictions of UFOs. This UFO floats above the grounds of the Maze, simply spinning in place. Upon interaction, they pop up from a hole in the top of the UFO, resembling a masculine figure with a blue long-sleeved shirt, blue pants, a belt, a pair of glasses, and a plain blue tie tied around their head. They also don a stereotypical elder-man hairstyle with hair only near the ears.

Trivia
- The instrument heard when Robert flails their arms is a cuíca.
- The same instrumental sound is also made when Brick Frog hops and when Moony gets surprised.
- Like Merci, the translation of Robert's dialogue from Extinction Party is different from what is shown on-screen. Rather than warning Ena about entering a vertigo-inducing path unprepared, they say that what was going on in the Maze was "too shameful for words" and hope that Ena doesn't become corrupted by the sins of anyone she met there. When the dialogue is properly translated, they say the following:
- 「おぉ～、お嬢さん？ここで何しとるんだぁ？」(Oh? Young miss? What are you doing here?)
- 「お友達の事はお忘れなさい。この廊下で起こっている事は、あまりにも恥ずかしい事だ！」(Please forget about your friends. The things happening in these corridors are too shameful for words!)
- 「私達の罪に汚されずに、ここから去る事を、願うばかりですぞ～！」(My only hope is that you leave this place before being polluted by our sins!)
Cultural references and inspirations
- Robert was confirmed by Joel Guerra in a Tweet to be a reference to Hiroshi Uchiyamada from Great Teacher Onizuka.[1]
