Named in the current description
Grandpa on a scooter, the gym bro, the creepy doll, the Tall Man and the escaped prisoner are written as people who answer a door you knock. The shared advice is the same: leave immediately, break line of sight, locker, hold breath. I will not invent a unique speed for each of them. Nobody published one.
Security and Police are tied to noise, not to a single map. The Principal is the one chaser the description puts in a place: Ditchwood Middle School. Too much noise brings him out of the office. That is the row I would send a new player to read first.
Names that only other sites print
Grandma, Screaming Dad, Military Guy, the Gunman, Bruiser the Dog and BIG EARL are on the wiki, theditchhotel.rest and Roblox Den’s about text. GachaPocket also mentions BIG EARL. The current experience description does not list them. They may be older nicknames, or they may be residents the huge update stopped naming. I do not have a sentence that settles it, so the table keeps a verification note instead of merging the two casts.
Armed is only filled for the Gunman and BIG EARL, and only from those other sites. If you are looking for a safe route, assume a knocked door can be any of the named residents and pre-pick a locker. The maps page says which map actually changes the chase: Party Houses, and the noisy school.
FAQ
Who is BIG EARL?
BIG EARL, Grandma, Screaming Dad, Military Guy, the Gunman and Bruiser show up on the wiki and on theditchhotel.rest. They are not in the current official description. I keep them in the table and label that gap.
How do you escape?
Sprint, break line of sight, and hide in a linen locker while you hold your breath. The Principal is the exception: he comes out when the school is too loud.
Which chasers have weapons?
The Gunman and BIG EARL are described as armed on those other sites. The official description does not say either of them is armed, because it does not name them.
