Some of these cutouts appear to move on their own, especially the one that pops up near the theater room and the other appearing behind Henry in a hallway.īendy also appears on multiple posters throughout the workshop and sticker-like objects on the walls and desks. Several of these can be seen throughout the Workshop (the setting in the game). Ink Bendy first appeared in the first chapter as the main antagonist, although also as a cardboard cutout. History Bendy and the Ink Machine Chapter 1: Moving Pictures

However, in chapter 3 of Bendy and the Ink Machine, Bendy never attempts to kill Buddy as Boris (Buddy is the Boris with Henry in chapter 2 and 3 and is turned into "Brute Boris" by Alice in chapter 4). Bendy also tries to kill Buddy as Boris in Boris and the Dark Survival. Bendy is shown to toy with them as he squeezes Dot, "Not hard enough to kill her but hard enough to hurt her." Bendy kills Buddy after Buddy tries to drown him in ink. Later, Bendy faces off against Buddy and his friend, Dot. When Buddy releases Bendy, Bendy pushes Buddy but doesn't kill him and quickly escapes. In the Dreams Come to Life novel, Bendy was shown to be sad about being locked in the infirmary. Bendy is also implied to be unaware of what he is doing due to the fact that he is soulless.Ĭhapter 5 also shows that the one thing that can wipe that grin off of his face is discovering that his show has ended, meaning that he is not supposed to exist anymore which causes him to breakdown as he disintegrates as a result of this. In Chapter 5, an audio log from Joey Drew showed that Ink Bendy used to be harmless and merely wander around the studio, not harming anyone, but was locked up by Joey due to concerns that he would scare people and was implied to have been driven insane as a result. Ink Bendy also appears to be slightly narcissistic as he reacts poorly to having his cardboard cutouts destroyed and violently hunts down the perpetrator until they're dead. After they traded blows, Ink Bendy overpowers Norman and strangles and decapitates him and afterwards looks into the Miracle Station and sees Henry, only to drag The Projectionist's corpse into the darkness with him and spare Henry's life. Later, in the same chapter, Bendy appears to save Henry from The Projectionist when he corners Henry in a Little Miracle Station.

One example is in Chapter 4, when Henry is climbing through the vents and Bendy jumps up and grabs the vent, but makes no attempt to harm Henry. However, Ink Bendy has spared Henry multiple times. Unlike his cartoon counterpart, who is a friendly, harmless, kind, and heroic cartoon character, Ink Bendy is deranged, hostile, dangerous, destructive, and homicidal, as he first attacked and tried to kill Sammy Lawrence (but didn't due to Sammy escaping or Bendy sparing him) and then tried to kill Henry next.

However, unlike Ink Bendy, Beast Bendy is taller and skinnier, showing much broader spines on the back and the shoulders, no eyes, and bearing rows of sharp teeth and longer but slender horns. This form is also notably taller than Henry.īeast Bendy is the second form of Ink Bendy, having a slightly similar appearance. His right foot appears more claw-like, while his left foot appears to just be a blob. His bowtie is also crooked on his body, being more in the center of his chest rather than the top. His left hand appears to have a glove, whilst his right hand appears to have a glove "painted" on it.

Ink Bendy is an ink character similar to the original Bendy, except that he himself has a huge humanoid shape his face is covered with dripping ink and he has a large left arm and a small right arm. His eyes are in a pie-cut style, resembling that of an old, 1920s cartoon character. In addition to this, the top of his head resembles cartoony "horns", he wears a white bow tie, and sports black shoes. Ink Bendy is set to return in the second installment Bendy and the Dark Revival, although his role is unknown.īendy resembles that of an old-fashioned cartoon character: having a black and white color scheme, cartoonish gloves, and a cheerful-looking expression (which apparently never changes). In Bendy and the Ink Machine, he is the main antagonist of Chapter 1, 2, and 5, the secondary antagonist of Chapter 3, and an anti-hero in Chapter 4. He also appears in the novel Dreams Come to Life, once again as the main antagonist. Bendy serves as the titular main antagonist of Bendy and the Ink Machine, the titular main protagonist in the mobile spin-off video game Bendy in Nightmare Run, and the main antagonist of Boris and the Dark Survival.
