Lax

**Lax** is a bean who ate a two-week-old unrefrigerated pie and slid on his own vomit.

## About

*"There isn't a thing that Lax won't eat. During his beauty pageant days his skill was eating a bucket of butter on stage. He also has no sense of smell. This would be grand in a room of farts, however it was rather fateful for dear Lax, who ignorantly delved into a two-week old unrefrigerated pie."*

## Appearance

Lax is a blue, peanut-shaped bean with two ingrown teeth, and a tuft of hair. After his death, he is seen with vomit all over his mouth.

## In the music video

Lax is seen holding a brown crescent moon shape, being the pie that he has taken a bite out of. He then scratches his head, munching, and then after a brief moment, he pukes all over the screen. It appears that the pie is a potpie because his vomit contains carrot and corn.

## Game

### General

Lax can be unlocked for the player's Train Station at the score 1800 in the old version and at the total score of 627200 in the new version. In both versions, he is the 10th character to arrive at the train station, and in the new version, he is the 54th thing that can be unlocked.

### Throw Up Clean Up

Lax vomits without anything shown before it, and the player must scrub his puke off the screen. If you fail, he slides on his own puke and falls down, with the pie landing on his eyes. If you win, he cheers.

### Food Fright

Lax also has another minigame involving him picking the right food. You must touch the screen at the right time so Lax can eat the right food. Otherwise, Lax will barf again, resulting in failure.

### Scrambled Eggs

Lax has an Easter minigame where the player must drag all the fresh eggs to his basket and avoid the broken ones so Lax does not puke. If you win, Lax will eat a fresh egg and burp out a baby bird. Otherwise, Lax will eat a broken egg and barf again.

### Snot Funny

One of the two mini-games during the COVID-19 update where Lax sneezes some snot. Scrub the screen to wipe the snot off the screen. If all the snot is removed, Lax will wash his hands, like the rule for COVID-19. If not enough snot is removed or if the player doesn't scrub the screen at all, Lax will lay down in bed while having a thermometer in his mouth and sweating, and he will sneeze again, causing the thermometer to be blown out of his mouth and hit his left eye, and he will bleed, causing the blood to gety on a pillow, resulting in failure.

### Chocolate Mix-Up

Lax has a new Easter-themed minigame where he fell down to the mixer. The player has to rotate the dials to turn the mixer off (Similar to Bungle's second minigame), if so, Lax will get out of the mixer and get a chocolate that he eats. Otherwise, he will be trapped inside a chocolate bar that breaks itself, resulting in failure.

### BBQ Blowout

Lax has a 4th of July-themed minigame, he is seen in a BBQ party along with Dunce and Ninny, he will notice a gas leak. The player must hold their finger on the leak(s) to stop them. If they succeed, Lax will patch up the leak(s), sigh in relief, and then look at Dunce and Ninny, who seem upset at him. If the player loses, Lax will explode, a burnt hot dog will land on Dunce's plate, while one of Lax's legs lands on Ninny's.

## Kills

* Magic post: Sawed Dippy in half, presumably making him bleed out.
* Christmas post: Set up a Fireplace with Dunce, that he burned Klaus. This is hinted by the mention of Santa.

## Deaths

* Winter post: Crashed into a tree while skiing (with no intentional references to *Snow Safari*).
* Masticating (chewing) Post: Ate some fish without chewing, and choked.

## Trivia

* As part of Australian/NZ Rail Safety Week of 2014, *Dumb Ways to Die* had an interactive activity game; Lax greeted people as they approached the game, and teaches them how to play the game.
* He was one of the characters in dumbwaystodie.com before the Second Website Release was introduced.
	+ Also, he is the only dumbwaystodie.com character to do something after death, this being lying down with puke splat leaking onto the floor.
* He is loosely similar to Munchies in terms of body shape and both also died from eating, but Lax has smaller eyes and has tufts of hair on top of his head, in which Munchies does not have.
* According to the video *Be wary of loose clothing*, he has been hit by a train like Stumble, Bonehead, Putz and Phoney.
	+ His voice can be heard in the same video.
* He is one of two characters to have their one of their minigames made easier in the app, the other one being Botch.
* In an early storyboard, during his line, the screen was zoomed into his head. He also didn't have his ingrown top teeth.
* In the video *Metro - Dumb Ways to Die - BTS*, an early animation showed him as a yellow peanut, similar to Ninny's alternate appearance, and the puke was neon green and didn't have carrot and corn.
* In the winter-themed mini-game Cut the Ropes from *Dumb Ways to Die 2: The Games*, he reveals his skeleton when brutally peeled by Ninny.
