"Dennis" first appeared in the version of Thy Dungeonman seen in the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[video games]], nonsensically listed as an "exit" alongside the cardinal directions north and south. The full game revealed Dennis as a character that [[Thy Dungeonman (character)|Thy Dungeonman]] can speak with, a man wearing a sporty frock coat and a long "jimberjam" (which he purchased on sale at a discount market) who enjoys pacing around nervously. The "obvious exit" from visiting him is to head in the direction of "[[Not X|Not Dennis]]". Although he is boring to have a conversation with, Dennis is quite knowledgeable about what [[parapet|parapets]] are and will happily share this information if given a trinket.

Dennis' role is much diminished in the other [[Thy Dungeonman (series)|Thy Dungeonman games]]. In [[Thy Dungeonman II]], typing "dennis" will [[Thy Dungeonman II Messages|tell the player]] that Thy Dungeonman "hasn't seen Dennis in a fortmoonnast." He is not referenced in [[Thy Dungeonman 3]].

The email [[web comics]] features a brief clip of the cartoon show ''The Animated Adventures of Thy Dungeonman'', where the characters all appear as barely-anthropomorphized words. "Dennis" is seen angrily chasing "[[Ye Flask]]".
