Cameramen are some of the central characters in the unconventional and captivating “Skibidi Toilet” series. They serve as adversaries to Skibidi Toilet and possess a unique character trait – their heads are closed-circuit television cameras, hence the name.
Cameramen are the first characters in the series to have hardware heads, and their technological prowess and accomplishments make them essential figures in the storyline.
Appearance
Cameramen’s appearances can vary significantly depending on their variants. However, the defining feature of all Cameramen is the camera head. They appear as sentient robots or cyborgs with independent wills, and their behavior varies from one individual to another.
For example, there are Brown Coated Cameramen and Jetpack Black Cameramen, each with their distinctive combat capabilities and methods. Interestingly, their camera head seems to be a vulnerable spot, as most deceased Cameramen are found with their cameras detached, while others only suffer injuries to their bodies.
Cameramen can even recover from amputations or broken circuits. Additionally, Cameramen have access to various vehicles, such as the Strider Camera and Camera Truck.
Sizes
Cameramen’s sizes can be classified into eight categories, ranging from Mini (Camera Rover) to Titan (Titan Cameraman).
Size | Typical size compared to Normal |
Mini (Camera Rover) | 0.2 |
Small (Camera Toilet) | 0.5 |
Normal | 1 |
Medium (Engineer Cameraman) | 1.2 |
Large (Large Cameraman) | 1.6 |
Very Large (Ep.18 Large Cameraman) | 1.8 |
Giant (Strider Camera) | 5 |
Titan (Titan Cameraman) | 150 |
These varying sizes play a significant role in their roles and abilities within the series.
