Sprunki does not revolve around a single, traditional protagonist like many story-driven games. Instead, the “main character” of Sprunki is often seen as the Player-Conductor — the one who builds the soundscape, awakens characters, and shapes the entire universe through rhythm. In Sprunki lore, this figure is more than a player; they are the catalyst who activates each entity and steers the world toward harmony… or corruption.

Alongside the Player-Conductor, certain figures within the mod’s universe feel like core leads. Characters such as the Sprunki Core Host (commonly portrayed as the starting figure who sets the tone) act as anchors for the experience, guiding the player through normal, corrupted, or nightmare phases depending on their musical choices.

In many fan interpretations, these characters are not fully sentient at the start. They come alive only when the player interacts with them, suggesting that the world exists in a dormant state until awakened by rhythm. This blends gameplay and lore — implying that music isn’t just sound in Sprunki… it is life.
