Borkis

*See Boris (disambiguation) for other related uses.*

* BatDR
* BatDS

**"***HELLO***"**
— **The translated text on the monolith that Borkis sits on.**

**Borkis** is a paranormal counterpart of Boris the Wolf and hidden enemy in *Boris and the Dark Survival* and an Easter Egg in *Bendy and the Dark Revival*.

## Bestiary

### Physical Appearance

Borkis shares the same exact appearance of Buddy Boris and other Boris Clones. The only noticeable difference are his eyes, which glow a bright yellow.

### Behavior

Borkis behaves similarly to Ink Bendy, the Projectionist, Twisted Alice, and the Butcher Gang. He will run after Buddy Boris upon the latter entering the former's field of vision. Entering the Little Miracle Station will halt Borkis from his pursuit, and he will wander off.

Borkis has the same animations as Buddy Boris and lacks his own signature chase theme, reusing Ink Bendy's "Shadows Follow" track.

## History

### *Boris and the Dark Survival*

Borkis is a very unique enemy and he can only be encountered on Level 414. The chances to get this day are 1/3000 (with the only condition being that the player has to be on Day 11 or later).

### Bendy and the Dark Revival

In Bendy and the Dark Revival, Borkis only appears out of bounds sitting on an obelisk with numbers and letters. The numbers and letters are 8 5 12 L 15. when translated to the alphabet (Example: 1 = A, 2 = B, and so on) it spells out HELLO.

## Trivia

* Borkis was added in *The Wolf Trials* update.
	+ He had no jumpscare in his initial reveal. In *The Unleashed* update, his jumpscare got implemented, but it only has one frame.
* The name "Borkis" seems to be a reference to the game's fanbase, where they use the term "bork" for Boris.
* Borkis originates from a tweet by Matt Goles, the game programmer of Kindly Beast/Joey Drew Studios Inc. In his tweet, he jokingly claims that he wanted to add a new character to *Bendy and the Ink Machine: Chapter 3*'s update for *Chapter 4*'s release but theMeatly declined this idea because he thought it was too "radical". Furthermore, he introduces "Borkis" who turns out to be exactly Buddy Boris with his head rotated upside down, described as the "chillest dude and was afraid of nothing".
* It may be possible that Borkis is in reference to the hidden picture in the mobile port of *Bendy and the Ink Machine* which shows three distorted Buddy Boris' with a *Chapter 1: Moving Pictures*' background with the text "**BORIS COMES FOR THE SOUL**". The image never appears in-game and seems to be merely a hidden joke.
* The number 414 has been used multiple times in the *Bendy* universe. It is unknown what the use of the number means as of now.
* Despite theMeatly confirming Borkis will not return in *Bendy and the Dark Revival* , he does end up making is way into the game along with Sinny as an Easter Egg.
	+ This might be because he is only found in areas that are completely inaccessible by normal means, and doesn't affect normal gameplay.
