Ranboo is a Minecraft YouTube and Twitch streamer known for his role on Dream's survival-multiplayer.

Ranboo created his original channel on January 30th, 2020, though he would only start his first stream months later, on September 12th, 2020. The first video uploaded to his channel was one of him playing Skywars, which is a popular minigame.

The growth of his online audience seemed to explode when he declared to his stream chat on November 27th, 2020 that he would run for president of L’Manberg (which is a nation on Dream’s survival-multiplayer server). At the time that he made this statement, Ranboo wasn’t a member of the survival-multiplayer.

Later, during this same stream, he was raided by Floris “Fundy” Damen, and Phil “Ph1LzA” Watson, two popular streamers on Dream’s survival-multiplayer. It was here that Dream invited him to join the server, and Ranboo accepted.

Not much is known about the elusive streamer due to his choice to keep his face, and personal life, separate from his online fame. But there's still plenty of facts about this streamer that are worth going through.


Ranboo's Character in the Dream SMP

Ranboo's role in Dream's survival-multiplayer takes on, debateably, one of the most fleshed out, complex characters.

After being invited to the server, he immediately made a name for himself by helping Tommy "TommyInnit" Simons burn down George "GeorgeNotFound" Davidson's house. This action led to the exile of Tommy from L'Manberg and forced Ranboo into the plot of the server.

Ranboo's plays the role of an enderman hybrid with memory loss. His character has a state called "enderwalking," which is similar to sleepwalking in nature. He can't remember what he does once he wakes up from this state, so he's manifested a voice in his head that tries to explain to him what's done while asleep.

Dream, the main antagonist of the server, has been repeatedly helped by Ranboo while he's enderwalking. Ranboo struggles with this fact, and his current mission is figuring out how to control his enderwalking state so he can prevent himself from helping Dream.

Ranboo's "lore streams" are some of the most popular out of the many perspectives. He's been credited for impacting the writing of the server's lore as a whole. Other featured streamers have begun fleshing out their characters more since Ranboo's own complex character became such a staple to the lore.

March 16th, 2021 — Ranboo announced that he would be creating an alternate reality game called the "Enderwalk ARG." The purpose of this spin-off is to keep developing his character on the survival-multiplayer sever. The plot is set to follow the journal entries of a researcher named Z, as they investigate the "enderwalk state."
