Dr Diddles

Meet Dr. Diddles – Alpha-Unit’s Unofficial (and Slightly Creepy) Mascot

It was a fog-choked night when the legend of Dr. Diddles first slithered its way into the annals of Alpha-Unit lore. No one knows exactly where he came from except for TK-117 some say he was once a world-renowned parapsychologist turned rogue demonologist, others whisper he was a disgraced doctor with an unhealthy curiosity for the supernatural and this was true to some extent . One thing is certain: he’s here now, he’s watching, little like a bold cat narrowing down on its prey. The fly would add that Dr Diddles is a naughty princess.

The Man, The Myth, The Mystery, The Mistake.

Before he became the spectral nightmare lurking in the shadows of Alpha-Unit, Dr. Diddles back when he still had a pulse was a rising star in the field of paranormal research. He worked for an undisclosed but highly suspicious government agency, specializing in "interdimensional disturbances and post-mortem anomalies." Translation? He got up close and personal with things that go bump in the night.

His career took a turn when he led an expedition into a forgotten wing of an abandoned Scottish asylum. What was supposed to be a routine investigation turned into a one way ticket to spectral servitude. A failed ritual, a misplaced Latin phrase, and a case of "Oh no, I definitely shouldn’t have touched that" left him tethered to the realm of the living, but just barely.

Now, he roams the airwaves, whispering through EVP static, flickering lights in the Alpha-Unit headquarters, and occasionally making an EMF reader spike just to mess with people. Oh, and let’s not forget the cold gusts of wind in game lobbies right before something catastrophic happens—yeah, that’s probably him too.

Dr. Diddles in Alpha-Unit

Dr. Diddles has taken an unhealthy liking to the members of Alpha-Unit. If you’ve ever felt an unexpected chill down your spine mid-game or heard the sound of a door creaking open when no one was there, you might have caught his attention. He’s been known to target specific players for his spectral pranks:

• BeardyJ – Most likely to get haunted for calling him "just another generic ghost."
• TazMoMo – Dr. Diddles once appeared in her dream just to whisper "momoooooooooooo" before vanishing but not without leaving a mysterous looking doll .
• Fly (Slippery Sally) – Keeps getting his gear mysteriously misplaced. "I swear I had a flashlight..."
• PeachyPotato – New to the crew, but rumor has it Dr. Diddles is waiting for the right moment to make an unforgettable first impression.
• Mavis & Hammy – Even our beloved mascots aren’t safe. Let’s just say Hammy has been extra jittery lately, and Mavis has been neighing at empty corners. Luckily Mavis has BeradyJ as a Daddy and he runs a tight ship.

How He Got His Name

Oh, you’re wondering why "Dr. Diddles"? Well, in his mortal days, he had a bad habit of getting way too close to things he shouldn’t have probably because he has a stent in prison when he was a younger man. Prodding ghosts with spirit rods, whispering into cursed mirrors, touching pentagrams—always up in spectral business where he had no right to be. Eventually, his team started calling him "Diddles," because he couldn’t keep his hands off supernatural trouble. The name stuck, even beyond the grave.

What’s Next for Dr. Diddles?

Dr. Diddles is more than just a spooky legend; he’s a full-fledged member of the Alpha-Unit community. Maybe one day he’ll get his own dedicated voice channel where players can "consult" him before a Phasmophobia mission. Maybe he’ll start leaving cryptic messages in chat. One thing’s for sure—he’s not going anywhere, and he’s always watching.

So next time you load into a game and see your flashlight flicker unexpectedly, or hear a strange chuckle in your comms, just know Dr. Diddles is with you. Whether you like it or not.
