## Character Description

### Physical Description

Short. He has two large horns that are curved in like a crescent moon. He is almost completely covered in black fur except for some white fur around his face, and he has a thin tail with a hard, spiked barb at the end. While his eyes are normally a light color they will glow red while he is using his magical abilities. From Chapter 225 onwards he also has a scar over his left eye running down to his cheek comprised of two slashing claw marks.

Bendy usually wears a short sleeve shirt, a vest over it, and pants that are tucked into his boots. And he almost always have his pair of goggles worn on his head.

As is typical for a Demon, Bendy has also shapeshifted in various other forms throughout the series. His first alternate form is seen in Chapter 79 while fighting the possessed Cala Maria. In this form Bendy is taller than all the other questers with his claws and fangs noticeably larger, and sharp spikes protruding from his elbows. He drips with ink, though it doesn't seem to bother him in any way in this form, and a red tinge seems to surround his entire body. His eyes become almost entirely black with bright red irises as the only other color within them. He also gives off a chill typical of most Demons.

Bendy's most extreme physical transformation to date is his "beastly" form. In this form Bendy is absolutely giant, far bigger than any non-demon toon could ever be. He moves on four legs, however a smaller pair of arms also extend out of his chest. A line of vertical black and red eyes starting from his chest and traveling all the way down his body onto the two long tails cry acidic black tears. A line of sharp spines start at the neck and continue along the back onto the tails as well, which end in giant versions of Bendy's normal tail barb. The head towers up above the body, adorned with both a larger pair of Bendy's usual horns and a new secondary pair jutting out of the side of his head. There are two pairs of eyes on the head, a large pair of black and red ones at the bottom with a smaller pair above, all of which are crying the same acidic tears as the rest of them. The mouth is shark-like and easily large enough to eat a person. On his back are a pair of large bat-like wings which allow him to easily take to the sky (Ch 199). Bendy is incredibly strong in this form, his claws and tail easily able to cut through trees and concrete, but he is also practically feral and will act mainly based on his emotional impulses (Ch 200).

### Powers and Abilities

Bendy is a very good mechanic and has learned through the years by dismantling things and putting them back together along with some teaching from others. He can be efficient, problem solve and be creative in his work. We see him display his building abilities when he and Boris made a mechanical leg for Mickey.

Bendy, as a Demon, has the power of shadow manipulation which he explains a little at his trial, saying he can “move them around, make them solid enough to touch and pick up things, and pick up on strong negative emotion.” (Chapter 63). For a long time he believed this was his Talent and, although to date his true talent remains unknown, this gets contradicted early on by Wilson. It is shown later on that all Demons have this control over shadows to some extent but It is also important to note that Bendy's shadows are notably different from the shadows utilized by other Demons, even those of the shadow Demon subclass that naturally has the strongest connection with the darkness. His shadows are powerful and, as mentioned before, can pick up on strong emotions and react to them. The shadows even seem to have emotions themselves, usually violent ones such as bloodlust. This is not normal and, when a shadow Demon interacted with one of his shadows they described at is feeling denser and heavier then normal. When the shadow Demon took control of one of Bendy's shadow there was a noticeable feeling of something peeling away from it before the as his shadow lost the usual emotional, energized feeling to it and became a normal shadow in the hands of the other Demon. It is currently unknown why Bendy's shadows are different and what this extra layer they seem to be posses is (Ch 310). The light in a given area also doesn't seem to impede or weaken Bendy's ability to access/use his shadows as it would for other Demons (Ch 311).

Another thing that comes from being a Demon is his super strength. He can pick up boulders and other heavy things as well as break metal with his bare hands without much effort.

He’s been shown to have super speed too.

As a Demon, Bendy can also shapeshift, though when he has used this power he wasn’t completely conscious about it the first time. When we first see him shapeshift into a larger more intimidating form was when the Questers were at the cliffs fighting Cala Maria (Ch 79). Bendy had no memory of this event once he returned to his ordinary form. The other times this other form of him has been displayed was when Black Hat forced him into it and during Nightmare Night. However, with him being a fledgling he’s at constant danger of becoming a beastly Demon, which is turning into a monstrous looking form of himself and going into a practically feral state.

There are still a lot of his demon powers he has to develop including the powers from his subspecies that is yet to be revealed. Black Hat has stated that Bendy doesn't feel the same as other Demons do. Apparently there is an odd build up hiding underneath his magic that Hat could only describe as potential. According to Hat, Bendy has the potential to be incredibly powerful despite seeming fairly weak by Demon standards and Black Hat has been unable to identify why this is. For some reason something within Bendy is repressing this power but it is unclear whether Bendy just refuses to use it or doesn't even know it's there (Inky Extra's Ch 109).

### Personality

Bendy is usually humorous and cracks jokes often. He loves to make puns and is especially delighted when there is another person joining him in the effort.

He is quite energetic and loud, quick to quip back with anger when mocked but is able to restrain when the time calls for it. And despite his loudness, he is described to be distant or secretive.

He can be confident in the face of danger, but also crack easily when the right buttons are hit. Bendy is quick to grow nervous when the people he’s close to are taken away or he doesn’t know what could be happening to them, such like the time Boris was kidnapped.

Bendy is considerate and thoughtful around his friends. Knowing not to push when it is necessary, and keeping away when he thinks the other is uncomfortable with his presence. But when he is pushed past his limits, he will become cold, sharp, and angry.

He cares a lot about Boris and is extremely protective of him. At the beginning of the story he used to be really cautious and calculating of new people, this was a need as Boris was trustful to a fault and Bendy needed to be wary for both of them. As the story progressed, Bendy grew to be more open, yet still slightly distant, and trustful of others. To the point where he began trusting suspicious people quite quickly despite their short interactions, which quickly made him start to doubt himself.
