**Hapless** is a female bean whose head got eaten by a grizzly bear after he poked it with a stick.

## About

*"The kindest nuns in the entire world brought up Hapless. Every day and every night his childhood was filled with love and happiness. The downside for Hapless was that she thought everyone was like this. And everything. This includes the grizzly bear who escaped after years of torture at the hand of a circus trainer."*

## Appearance

Hapless is a yellow oval female bean with a mouth that is slightly wider than most other beans; sometimes she is seen holding a stick.

After prodding around with the bear, she is now headless with a fountain of blood squirting out of her spine.

### Dumb Ways to Die

Hapless is seen poking something brown and fuzzy with his stick. Then it bends down, revealing it is a bear, eating Hapless's head, and a fountain of blood spurts from his remaining body.

## Game

### Dumb Ways to Die (Application)

Hapless can be unlocked for the player's Train Station, as the 2nd bean to arrive at the train station in both versions. In older versions of *Dumb Ways to Die*, the player have to just play through the game for the first time to get her, which is nothing compared to the 12800 points required to unlock her in the newer versions. She is also the 6th thing to be unlocked in newer versions.

### Duck Duck Bear

The player must tap the screen when the bear icon is on the yellow highlighted strip of the bar below Hapless. If the player taps too early or late, Hapless will be killed by the bear. Otherwise, after doing so successfully for several times, the bear spits out candy.

The player must tap the screen when the bear icon is on the yellow highlighted strip of the bar below Hapless. If it's too early or late the bear will eat Hapless's head. If perfect, the bear will spit out candies.

### Tip Toe Tap

Hapless has another game in the update, in which the player must tap the screen one second at a time to make her tiptoe past a sleeping bear. If the player taps too fast or too slow, or not at all, the bear wakes up and eats her head, resulting in failure. If the timing is perfect, Hapless will sneak past the bear and get some ice cream while winking at the player.

### Candy Catch

Hapless has a Halloween game, in which the player has to drag the bag to catch the falling candies. If the player drops one, the bear eats his head, resulting in failure. If all the falling candies are caught, she and the bear shares the candy.

### Huge Missed Steak

Hapless has an animal game where the player must swipe to fling steaks into each of the bears' mouths. If done successfully, Hapless will walk up to one of them and the bear rewards him with candy. Doing it incorrectly causes a piece of steak to land on her and a hungry bear eats both it and him.

### Mistake Mountain

Hapless has yet another mini-game, this time, she must climb up a mountain. If the player wins, Hapless places a flag on top of a mountain that features the Dumb Ways to Die 2 beans. If the player fails, Hapless will be stalked and killed by the grizzly bear.

### Sneak 'n' Snack

Hapless has an Easter-themed minigame which is similar to his second one, the player has to tap to make Clod tip toe to the window. If so, Hapless will wake up and see some melted eggs. Otherwise, he will notice that Clod is stealing eggs and leaves the place, breaking the window bloodily, resulting in failure.
