Ink Widows
- This article is about spider-like ink creatures that infest the depths of the ink realm. For other uses, see Ink (disambiguation).
"Ink Widows have begun to infest where the light grows darkest." |
The Ink Widows are arachnid-like creatures that mostly inhabit the sewers, being the offspring of the King Widow.
Ink Widows are hunted by Amok's cult followers for preserved use, such as weapons and head decorations.
History
Early life
It's currently unknown how these spider-like creatures were created, but it's likely that they were created from the King Widow, as he has the ability to spit out eggs containing these Widows. Whether the Ink Bulbs were created from the Ink Widows or the King Widow himself is unknown, but the bulbs seem to house most of the widows.
Predatory
After being ejected from the elevator, Audrey falls into a circular room. She wakes up to a widow trying to grab her Gent Pipe to which she swats it away. Audrey then stands up as Ink Bulbs release more and more Ink Widows, and she then hits multiple levers throughout the room. These levers reveal lights that cause the widows to retreat. Suddenly, their king emerges from a manhole in the middle and begins his attacks against the intruder.
During one of the King Widow's attacks, he spits out brown eggs that burst and reveal more Ink Widows. Once they're all killed, he continues his other attack. While the King Widow attacks, the Ink Bulbs can still summon Ink Widows, if all the Bulbs haven't been destroyed.
However, Audrey isn't the only prey that the Ink Widows will go after as the Ink Widows can travel far from their nest to hunt more prey to feast on. Somewhere within the Ink realm, Boris was traveling through each floors on his own when he encounters a single Ink Widow running towards him to attack. From then on all the way to the end, more Ink Widows emerged to attack Boris on every floor.
Characteristics
Physical appearance
The Ink Widows appear to be small, spider-like creatures with four legs. Each leg ends with a sharp point. The main part of the body is a simple inky sphere with a mouth in the middle.
Behavior
The Ink Widows, whenever they spot their prey will run towards to their victims and will use their pincers to stab their prey or their mouths to bite onto them. If their prey is in a far range, they'll leap foward to catch up to them in short distances.
Behind the scenes
The Ink Widows are minor enemies that appear in Bendy and the Dark Revival's Chapter 3: The Eternal Machine. They reappeared in Bendy: Lone Wolf as one of the main recurring enemies throughout every floor along with other enemies.
Development
The Ink Widows originally were able to walk on walls and ceilings. This was scrapped because the environment got in the way of the widows and was deemed to not fit with the game very well.[2]
Widows were originally planned to appear more around the sewers and other areas.[Citation needed]
