— DOROTHI |
DOROTHI is an enemy in OMORI. It is one of the many variants of SOMETHING that can be fought in-game, only through VAST FOREST's TRAIN and LOST LIBRARY.
PROFILE[]
DOROTHI is a black, four-legged creature resembling a deer of sorts. It has sharp, pointed limbs and ears and has a texture that isn't regular for HEADSPACE. It seems to have a single eye, or its head is turned so that only one eye is shown.
STORY[]
DOROTHI is first encountered on the TRAIN that leads to ORANGE OASIS. Right after the train slightly blacks out, DOROTHI emerges from the shadows and attacks the party. Despite its attempts to attack the group, DOROTHI constantly apologizes to "SUNNY" as the group fights it. Eventually, DOROTHI is defeated, allowing the group to enter ORANGE OASIS in the aftermath.
On the first visit to LOST LIBRARY, it also makes a brief appearance as a silhouette alongside a few other SOMETHING variants at the trees near the end of the library. This hints of them manifesting more of themselves into HEADSPACE. Upon completing BLACK SPACE, DOROTHI can later be fought at LOST LIBRARY as a regular enemy like the other minor SOMETHING variants, only on the OMORI ROUTE.
If one accesses RED ROOM, a hidden BLACK SPACE location only accessible via the SUNNY ROUTE or the MIXED ROUTE, the player can discover a zoo of multiple SOMETHING variants lurking around. This includes multiple roaming DOROTHIS as well.

TRIVIA[]
- DOROTHI originally had battle sprites and was referred to as DOROTHY in the 2018 Kickstarter demo. They were unused for unknown reasons. Its design from the demo also appeared slightly different from the one used in the full game.
- DOROTHI's encounter inside the TRAIN originally had different behavior. Instead of charging straight at the party, DOROTHI would attempt to move away whenever they get close to her. Along with that, she had lower stats and an unfinished moveset.
- Although DOROTHI has a move (SELF HAPPY) that turns the user HAPPY, it doesn't work as it is immune to EMOTIONS. This is also because enemies related to BLACK SPACE cannot feel EMOTIONS.
- DOROTHI has one unused move titled ATTACK THRICE, in which it will kick three random enemies rapidly. If it was used in-game, the text mentions "??? kicks violently".
- It even has a DO NOTHING skill but it is also unused in-game. If it was used in-game, the text mentions "??? cries into the darkness". However, the text in the game is replaced with "Liar".
- In the game's data, the DO NOTHING skill named as LIAR has the description: "Just for the little basil in black space Not for Abyss".
- Like with the other minor SOMETHING variants, everyone in the party will be AFRAID at the start of a battle, except for OMORI. This will not be the case if a character has equipped with PAPER BAG.
- When prancing around, DOROTHI uses the same sound effect as HORSE BUTT and HORSE HEAD.
- DOROTHI was originally intended to be fought within BLACK SPACE.
