Talk:Charlie (Night Monster)/@comment-78.62.130.161-20130910005317

The way I see it, both Maxwell and Charlie got transported to the world of Don't Starve by accident, while working on a new finale for their magic show (assuming the 6th puzzle is the last prologue one), which was likely made possible by nightmare fuel.

At the end of the Adventure Mode, Maxwell says a specific set of lines:

"I don't know what they want. They... they just watch."

"Unless you get too close. Then..."

"Well, there's a reason I stay so dapper."

By too close he could mean going too deep into insanity, dapperness making a person more sane seems like a logical reason to be dapper. It could very much be a hint as to what happened to Charlie. As in -- Charlie went beyond insane.

An other explanation could be that Charlie physically got too close to "them" for whatever reason (or, possibly, just overused nightmare fuel, as seen with ancients) and as a result got changed into the Grue. In which case, Maxwell could be dapper as a means of mourning.
