Phonty Phonograph

Phonty-Phonograph, also called Phonty for short, is a character exclusive to the Language Level of Advanced Education With Viktor Strobovski.

Appearance
Phonty is a robotic phonograph with a gold speaker and crank and a brown machinery box. The legs he sprouts when his crank completely unwinds are thin and grey, with two pivots. His Christmas costume consists only of a white headband with white and pink cat ears. In the New Years Special, his design changes significantly. His pedestal is replaced with a large pink blanket with hearts, which covers Phonty's legs. His model has also changed a lot and now looks more 3D. When he emerges, his legs are now different and are more similar to tubes.

Behaviour
Phonty plays a similar role as Mr. Mix does in the Math Level, although much less tedious and time-consuming. When the Language level starts, Phonty will be sitting idle in the middle of the art room, blaring his soundtrack across the room. Angell needs to regularly rewind him in order to make sure he doesn't finish playing his soundtrack. This can be done by going up to him and interacting with him. Similar to using a Fortune Cookie, there will be a screen overlay, but this time showing Phonty's record with a needle on it. The needle shows how close Phonty's soundtrack is to finishing;  it will slowly move towards the center as it continues to play. The disc can be rewound by dragging it, which slowly brings the soundtrack back to the beginning and moves the needle away from the center. However, being close to him will slowly drain sanity.

Once Phonty's soundtrack finishes playing (i.e. when the needle reaches the red section in the center of the record), he will sprout six mechanical legs/limbs and begin pursuing the protagonist at a speed slightly faster than the protagonist's walk speed, similar to Mr. Mix. However, he will also bust over any doors he comes into. In recent updates, such as 0.1.3 Experimental, he will also break down the wall around the door as well as the door itself. At this point, it is almost impossible to win, since Angell has to constantly be running away from him, and if they reach a dead end such as a classroom or supply room it is very difficult to get around him. If he reaches the protagonist during pursuit, he will bowl the protagonist straight over and end the game.

In older versions, Phonty's record is replaced with a crank that must be unwound.

Christmas Curse DLC
In the Christmas Curse DLC, Phonty will sit on a pedestal bench in the Dining Room/Caféteria with the other characters, where he will blare out his soundtrack as usual. He won't be able to be interacted with, and since sanity is removed in the CC DLC, going up to him won't drain any sanity. Once Erie goes to the table next to him, either when she's finished placing and decorating all of the Christmas trees/pines or when she's "offended", Phonty will point upward towards her, with lots of floating pink hearts surrounding him. Once Viktor has gathered everyone at the Dining Room/Caféteria, he will stop playing his song, but he will keep looking at Erie.

If the staff manage to stay at the table without the Cursed Ending occurring, once Viktor gets the presents, Phonty will blare another song out.

If you "offend" Erie while she is next to Phonty, he will drop his headband and emerge, causing Erie to panic in his direction telling him to calm down, and he will chase the protagonist with lots of floating red angry faces surrounding him, chasing them until he reaches them and bowls them over, leaving them to die while Erie questions his decisions and Viktor exclaims how much of a stupid idiot he is, triggering a Bad Ending (similar to a normal Game Over).
