Lloyd during his part in Rambley's Railway
Lloydford "Lloyd" L. Lion, also known as Lloyd the Lion, is a mascot and character in Indigo Park. He is the main attraction and host of Lloyd's Main Stage Theater. He also serves as the secondary antagonist of Chapter 1.
Overview
Description
Move out of the way, for the performer of Rambley & Pals is here! Lloydford L. Lion, the regal lion of the mane stage, is decked in the finest tailored suits that make royalty look like mere commoners. Lloyd struts across the stage with an air of arrogance that could rival any monarch. He's friends with the main cast, but he's really starting to push it... Meet Lloyd today, only at Indigo Park. Located in [REDACTED].
Appearance
Lloyd is a lion with orange fur, a blue nose, blue eyes and blue paw pads. His design is rather top-heavy, with short legs beneath a long torso. His mane is a darker orange, with red bangs, and yellow streaks throughout it. In some artwork, he lacks the yellow streaks and instead has them in red. He wears a suit with blue sleeves, with a dark waistcoat and cuffs, along with a matching blue bowtie in his mane. He has a long tail that ends in a yellow and orange tuft of hair.
(Cardboard cutouts or murals appear to have him with yellow streaks in the mane. This excludes the character information card. While he’s a monster, he loses the streaks in his mane and tail.)
Gameplay
Chapter 1
Entering the Theater
During Chapter 1 the player must go into the backstage of Lloyd's Mane Stage Theater to find the keys to Jetstream Junction. Upon entering the theater, the player is greeted by a sleeping Lloyd who awakens as they walk closer. Lloyd gets spooked and runs behind the curtains into the backstage area.
The Backstage
Lloyd can be seen hiding behind some shelves, staring at the player as they enter the room behind the stage, but he goes away as the player starts approaching him. As the player walks through the mostly sheltered walkway, Lloyd can occasionally be heard. Once the player reaches a dead end, Lloyd jumps towards them, causing some boxes to fall. Lloyd gets pinned by a box falling on top of him, and a path is cleared allowing the player to continue to the office, where they find the keys to Jetstream Junction. After acquiring the keys, the player makes their way back to the entrance of the room, where Lloyd attacks them, only to be repelled by a high-pitched sound from the Critter Cuff.
Trivia
- When asked about Lloyd on stream prior to the reveal of his bio, UniqueGeese said, "Who's Lloyd? I don't know what you're talking about. (...) 'Lloyd the Lion'? Did you just make that up?"
- Lloyd is apparently a theater kid. This was confirmed in a stream.
- Rambley really dislikes Lloyd but when riding Rambley's railway, the player can see a painting of Lloyd passing some sort of deed to Rambley.
- Lloyd is the only one of the main cast to get a "throwback" plush. This fact really annoyed Rambley who asks where the rest of their throwback plushies were.[1]
- When showing Rambley a certain collectable at the info kiosk, he replies: "Ew... Lloyd".
- While not stated, it's implied Lloyd was the main mascot of Indigo Park before Rambley.
- In the theater’s backstage there's a gold statue of Lloyd similar to the ones at the entrance.
- There’s a sign for a "Lloyd’s Limos," possibly being the old name for Rambley’s Railroad.
- The Lloyd's Limos ride is inspired by the Disneyland ride Superstar Limo, what's interesting is that the ride was replaced, possibly like in the game. For more information, watch this video by Defunctland.
- Lloyd's the only one with a throwback plush shows that he is older than the other mascots.
- Lloyd giving Rambley a deed could represent Rambley replacing him as the new mascot.
- Rambley didn't have a mascot costume till the process of replacing mascot performers with real beings shows that he is a more recent addition than the others (recent enough to where people didn't know his name and just called him "the raccoon”).
- During the black & white footage in the game's intro cinematic, Lloyd's face can be seen on the wall to the right of the gate.
- In UniqueGeese's "Indigo Park's Creator Reacts to Fan Animations" stream. He has confirmed Lloyd the lion will return in future chapters. (Citation needed)
- In Lloyd's voice actor's Livestream, he confirmed that HE was the one who made the idea of Rambley hating Lloyd.
