General Information
Dynamite is the fifth main character featured in Objectified in the episode "Playing Hooky" alongside Mushroom, which released July 29th in 2022. Dynamite first appears in class next to Mushroom when a fire drill goes off, allowing the two to slip away and skip class to play on a playground in a nearby park on a hill. As the outbreak begins to hit Middle Ring, Dynamite and Mushroom avoid its spread by skipping class and return to find the student body assimilated. After fleeing, they assess the situation and end up staying at Mushroom's house after discovering that Dynamite's parents have fled their home and left him behind. Mushroom and Dynamite wait for Mushroom's father Cattail to return home from Center Ring, but he never arrives. Both Mushroom and Dynamite comment often on the fact that they're not sure where the assimilated objects in Middle Ring are or how they spread to everyone else except for them, but currently their main conflict is that they're facing starvation because of Dynamite's carnivorous diet and a power outage in town causing the food in the grocery stores to spoil quickly. Mushroom urges Dynamite to learn how to hunt small animals in episode 17 instead of searching buildings for food. Mushroom and Dynamite seem to be really close and various concept art pieces detail them spending time together and clinging to each other at various stages of their lives, suggesting they've known each other since childhood. Dynamite also brings up events from the third grade that Mushroom was a part of in episode 17. Despite his outgoing nature, Dynamite seems to be insecure about being a monster object, even keeping his claws sheathed when he tries to pounce on the bird in episode 17 and describing the animal-like qualities that Mushroom insists upon him embracing for his survival as "embarrassing".

Additional Info

 * Dynamite appears to be a melanistic jaguar, his fur being a dark purple as opposed to orange.
 * The state of Dynamite's home life seems to be questionable at best, with concept art featuring Mushroom's family packing his lunches, and his parents leaving him behind/ignoring his phone calls in episode 11 coupled with Mushroom's expression of disgust that she casts towards his now empty house.
