Blotlings are some of the most common enemies found in the video game Epic Mickey. They are, as their name suggests, loyal to the Shadow Blot (in fact they are drips of the Blot). Found throughout the game Blotlings can either be disposed via thinner, which dissolves them into nothingness, or turned friendly through paint. Blotlings come in varied forms, some more powerful than others, together they form the Blotling Army wherewith the Shadow Blot can gain even more control over the dystopian Wasteland.

Blotling Army[]
Normal enemies[]
Seers[]
Seers have one eyeball and two frog-like legs and they ring like an alarm at Mickey to call nearby blotlings. They can also curl into a ball and roll into Mickey.
Spatters[]
Spatters are the weakest type of Blotlings, they look similar Mickey Mouse. They are often seen wearing different costumes depending on the region they are found in. They attack by trying to jump on Mickey.
Dropwings[]
Dropwings are a bat-like type of Blotling. They are also the only type of Blotling that can fly. Dropwings can spit Thinner at Mickey, or grab him to drag him to a nearby hazard.
Sweepers[]
Sweepers are Blotlings taken by the form of the Brooms from Disney's "Fantasia". They throw Thinner to attack.
Spladooshes[]
Spladooshes are Blotlings taken by the form of the Cyclops from Disney's "Hercules". They explode if Mickey gets too close to them. Thinner can also make them explode.
Slobbers[]
Slobbers are Blotlings taken by the form of Oogie Boogie from "The Nightmare Before Christmas". They inhale anyone and will use their claws if Mickey is close to them. They can't be Painted or Thinned at all except for when they're inhaling, at which point Mickey should aim for the mouth.
Bloticles[]
Bloticles are semi-Blotlings that are the Shadow Blot's tentacles. They take Wasteland's colors. They cannot be redeemed, along with the Shadow Blot, Beetleworx, and the Lost Characters. The only way to destroy one is to shoot at all the weak points (the glowing green pores).
Sub-Species[]
Lost Characters[]
Lost Characters are forgotten toons revived by the Shadow Blot, they are invincible, if you take them down they will come back later, they can only be defeated if you destroy the current Bloticle in the area, which doing so will make them melt away, Gus hoping that it returns them to normal.
Blotworx[]
Blotworx are Splatters put into mechanical bodies by the Mad Doctor, they cannot be simply thinned out with Thinner or redeemed with Paint like normal, it requires Oswald's remote control to force the Splatters out from hiding so Mickey can either thin or paint the Splatter.
Leaders[]
False Shadow Blot[]
The False Shadow Blot is the 2nd-in-command of the Blotling army and the 2nd biggest and 2nd strongest Blotling to exist, he can create Spatters and fire giant balls of Thinner from his hands and can also fly.
Shadow Blot[]
The Shadow Blot was the 1st Blotling to exist and is the leader and creator of the Blotlings, he is the biggest and strongest Blotling to exist and is the only Blotling that can't be erased with Thinner or redeemed with Paint, he can create any Blotling listed so far and can revive forgotten toons as Lost Characters.

Trivia[]
- While most Blotlings return In The game's sequel, the Seers are noticeably absent, it's unknown why this is the case, however a pin of them can be collected in the game and they appear in early test animations for Epic Mickey 2: The Power Of Two, meaning they might've returned.
- Ironically their replacements, the Dropwings, were scrapped enemies for the first Epic Mickey, who were replaced in favor of the Seers, before making their official debut in it's sequel.
- So far the Spatters, Seers, and Dropwings are the only Blotlings to have pupils.
- In Early Concepts for the First Epic Mickey there was going to be an enemy that appeared to be a hulking lookalike of Mickey Mouse that resembled a rat, this enemy would later be made into the Slobber.
- Likewise their was also an unused concept for a Vampire Blotling resembling Oswald.
- The Spatters were originally going to come in multiple different colors, but were changed to simply being purple and having costumes depending an the area, possibly to help to not confuse the player.
- There was an unused enemy for the first Epic Mickey, of an almost completely human Blotling without a shirt, had a Mickey mouse ears hat, had a twisted face, and had with four arms.
- Unlike other Blotlings, the Dropwing's name doesn't start with the the letter "S".
- It is also the only other Blotling that's name doesn't end with the letter "R" (alongside the Spladooshes).
- All Blotlings have a variant with a red mouth and eyes, these versions of them are much stronger than their main counterparts. Interestingly their removed from it's sequel entirely.
- They were possibly implemented into the game, due to the Blot originally having Red eyes and mouth during the games Beta, until they were replaced with Green ones.
