Chester is a cartoon monster and the first boss of Bendy in Nightmare Run, appearing in the Bendy Walks the Plank level.
Bestiary[]
Description[]
Chester appears as a large anthropomorphic treasure chest with large eyes and huge sharp teeth. He moves around with large octopus tentacles sprouting underneath him. His mouth position switches between the low part of his chest-head and the opening of the chest. There is a load of treasure coins filled inside Chester's mouth.
Behavior[]
Chester has shown to be bent on vengeance, trying to defeat and eat Bendy to the point of death. Even creatures trying to help him such as Krawls, Stickles and Gwens, are not safe from his wrath. On Nightmare Mode, if Chester is brought down to 0 health then he will revive himself angrier than before until the player character dies.
Like all the bosses in the game, Chester disposes of a land-attack, an aerial one, the abilities to throw obstacles on the lines and summon minions, and his own special attack :
- First introduced in Act I, he launches a land-torpedo, blanking everything on the ground of the targeted line and damaging the player if they are running on the said line.
- Later introduced in Act II, he spits barf on a line, killing Gwens and removing the flying items. The ball then falls on the line's ground damaging the player if he stays on it.
- Later introduced in Act III, he throws wooden barrels on a random line. The barrels are jumping and stomping, they can be avoided by doing a double jump or simply changing line.
- Finally introduced in Act IV, Chester throws three Barfs in the sky. These Barfs are falling on each of the three lines with a very short interval between the drops, so the player must be very careful to avoid the barf.
Strategy[]
No strategy is required. Just focusing on attacking him at all cost, especially when the target sighting in one of three positions is ready to be hit. Remember, when his health is low he will get faster and faster out of desperation.
Role[]
Chester appears in the level "Bendy Walks the Plank" as the first boss of the game. Bendy the devil stole Chester's "thunder", enraging Chester to the point of wanting to murder Bendy and his friends. It is unknown how Bendy stole Chester's thunder, however, Chester seems to care about it a lot, to the point of murdering someone and their friends if they took it.[1]
As the player progresses in each act of the level, Chester will become more and more aggressive as he gains more attacks in his attempt to defeat Bendy.
If Chester defeats the playable character, he will pick them up, opening his mouth wide to swallow the playable character whole.
If Chester is defeated on four acts, he will stop, threatening to the player to gobble the player whole, then out of mind, facepalming himself with his tentacles for getting defeated at the playable character's hand, and walk away.
If Chester is defeated in the final act and in Nightmare mode, then his eyes will become X-shape because of cartoon logic and will collapse face-first on the ground.
