Taygedo is a character in Neverness to Everness classified as an Oddity a type of supernatural creature in the game's lore. He is a small humanoid creature with a distinctive TV-shaped head that displays a dog's face on its screen. Taygedo is affiliated with the Eibon Antique Shop, where he serves as a restorer of antiques and artifacts. He is a three-time winner of "Eibon's Best Restorer" a title described officially as "well-earned and well-deserved."
Taygedo's playability status is uncertain. He may function as a playable character, an NPC companion, or a support unit. His classification as an Oddity makes him unique among the characters associated with Eibon, and his status within the game's roster has been a subject of community speculation.
Taygedo's design is one of the most unusual in the game. He has a small humanoid body with a bushy tail and small limbs. His head is a vintage television set that displays an animated dog's face on its screen. The dog face serves as his primary means of expression, showing emotions through simple animations on the TV display. The contrast between his organic body and mechanical TV head creates a surreal, endearing appearance that has made him popular with the community.
The official character introduction describes Taygedo as "gentle and lovable" and "harmless to all." He communicates primarily by repeating his own name ("Taygedo! Taygedo taygedo taygedo!") a speech pattern that has been compared by the community to how certain creatures in popular media express themselves.
Despite occupying what is described as "the bottom of Eibon's food chain", Taygedo maintains a cheerful and positive demeanor. He is characterized as having a humble nature, though he sometimes entertains small schemes and dreams. Official character materials provide translations of his vocalizations, revealing thoughts such as enthusiasm about recruitment, concern about his secret hoards being discovered, and a wistful hope for a memorable love story, though this last aspiration is noted as being "respectfully turned down."
Despite his limited verbal communication, Taygedo is highly skilled at his work as a restorer. His three consecutive Best Restorer awards demonstrate a level of craftsmanship and dedication that speaks louder than words. He approaches each restoration project with care and patience, treating damaged artifacts with the same gentleness he extends to the people around him.
Taygedo serves as the primary restorer at the Eibon Antique Shop. His role involves evaluating and repairing antiques, artifacts, and other items that pass through the shop. Given that Eibon handles Anomaly commissions in Hethereau, Taygedo's restoration work likely extends to supernatural objects as well as mundane antiques.
His three-time winner status as "Eibon's Best Restorer" indicates that the shop holds periodic evaluations or competitions among its staff. This recognition, combined with Hotori's continued employment of him, suggests he is valuable to Eibon's operations despite his position at the bottom of the shop's social hierarchy.
The Eibon Antique Shop's full roster of affiliated characters includes: Hotori (proprietress), Nanally (family head and Esper), Sakiri (hammer-wielding Esper), Daffodil (security), Zero (the player character who recently joined), and Taygedo (restorer).
Taygedo is classified as an Oddity, a type of supernatural creature in the world of Neverness to Everness. Most Oddities encountered in the game are hostile entities spawned by Anomalies, but Taygedo represents a rare exception: a benign Oddity that coexists peacefully with humans. His integration into the Eibon Antique Shop as a working member challenges the assumption that all Oddities are threats.
How Taygedo came to be at Eibon, whether he was always benign or was somehow pacified, and the nature of his TV-head physiology are open questions. His existence raises broader lore questions about the range of Oddity behavior and whether more Oddities could potentially be allied with.
Taygedo's playability status in the standard combat roster is uncertain. Community coverage has specifically questioned whether he is playable, and he is not consistently listed alongside confirmed playable characters in game databases. He may function as:
A playable character Controllable in combat with his own element, weapon, and ability kit.
An NPC companion Present at the Eibon Antique Shop as a non-playable character who provides restoration services.
A support unit A companion that assists in some capacity without being directly controlled in combat.
Eibon Antique Shop Taygedo's home and workplace, where he serves as the resident restorer.
Hotori The shop's proprietress and Taygedo's employer.

Taygedo's habit of repeating his own name as his primary means of communication has been compared by the community to creatures in the Pokemon franchise.
Official character materials provide translations of his vocalizations, revealing surprisingly complex thoughts and desires behind the simple repeated name.
His TV-head design with a dog face displayed on the screen is one of the most visually distinctive character concepts in the game.
He hopes for a memorable love story, but this aspiration has been "respectfully turned down" according to official materials.
As a benign Oddity, he challenges the game's general portrayal of Oddities as hostile threats and raises questions about whether other Oddities could be similarly domesticated.
Despite being at the bottom of Eibon's social hierarchy, his three consecutive Best Restorer awards make him the undisputed champion of the shop's restoration work.
He was introduced in an official character introduction post on August 30, 2024, on the NTE official website.
