Lost Ones

**"***"ONCE PEOPLE, NOW FALLEN INTO DESPAIR"***"**
— **A hidden message from *Bendy and the Ink Machine: Chapter 5*.**

The **Lost Ones** are a race of ink-made entities and dwellers of the Cycle. They are former humans who became ink monsters, and are now desperate to escape.

## Physical Appearance

The Lost Ones have a similar appearance to humans, only deformed, skeletal, and slimy. They are composed completely out of ink, with skin texture similar to black tar. Their eyes glow a yellow and orange color, and they have what appears to be drool-like slime in place of their mouths. Though the females have hair, males are very bald.

## History

The Lost Ones are human beings who became ink creatures due to transferring from the real world to the Cycle. Their original personalities remain almost untouched, but they appear to be suffering in a state of despair; most will stand in complete stillness, some either hunched over and crying or, in one case seen in some occasions, banging their head against the wall in a suicidal manner. If provoked, the Lost Ones act as a threat towards anyone they deem dangerous.

Most of the Lost Ones that can still speak have been driven insane and are hostile to everyone they encounter. However, there have been a few notable exceptions such as Porter and Heidi who aren't aggressive towards Audrey Drew and actually help her out.

## Trivia

* Gavin McCarthy's concept art for the Lost Ones in *Bendy and the Ink Machine* originally featured a visible nose, non-glowing yellow eyes, four digits of toes instead of five, and deformed arms with a mass of ink drips resembling coat sleeves. The Lost Ones in *Bendy and the Dark Revival* were now redesigned to bear some close resemblance to their early concept art.
* Even though the male Lost Ones appear in *Bendy and the Ink Machine*, the females were nowhere to be seen until their debut in *Bendy and the Dark Revival*.
	+ An explanation for this might be because at the time they shared the same model and thus lacked any gender-defining characteristics.
