"What the heck is this?" |
theMeatly is both a character and a recurring Easter Egg from throughout the chapters of Bendy and the Ink Machine, and he can only be located in a small secret room behind Boris the Wolf's "Sheep Songs!" poster.
Background
Description
Based on the mascot of the game's developing company and comic series, he is tall with long, skinny black limbs, and a floating circular white head with black eyes, a complete lack of neck, and a line for a mouth.
Even though his rectangular body is red in the comic series, it is light, yellowish-brown in color due to the color-style for the game itself. His entire self also appears completely flat, as if made out of paper.
Personality
It is technically not explained what theMeatly's in-game personality is. He just remains standing, never moving an inch, and barely does anything.
