"THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE RIVER" — A hidden message from Bendy and the Ink Machine: Chapter 5.

The Giant Bendy Hand is an enormous cartoon hand that inhabits the Ink River, dragging anything it comes across down below.

Bestiary

Physical Appearance

The Giant Bendy Hand is a giant cartoony hand, very similar to the Ink Demon's left hand, covered with an ink-stained white glove, with a long arm extending from below into the ink river. All four fingertips are stained with ink. It is unknown if the hand belongs to a whole body or if it is an independent entity.

Behavior

When there is ink covering the paddle wheel of Henry's barge, the Giant Bendy Hand will menacingly approach the boat in an attempt to catch it and thereby squashing and killing Henry. The pattern of popping out from the river seems to be randomized.

Strategy

The Giant Bendy Hand cannot be attacked, and therefore cannot be killed, so the only thing possible to do is to quickly unclog the paddle wheel to flee from it before it has the chance to kill the player.

History

Bendy and the Ink Machine

As a minor antagonist of Chapter 5: The Last Reel, the Giant Bendy Hand appears when Henry needs to take the barge to the Lost Harbor. The Giant Bendy Hand is mentioned in a secret message saying "THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE RIVER", implying the presence of the monster. It is first seen taking down the barge Allison and Tom used into the ink and then begins to stalk Henry. When thick ink is stuck on the paddle-wheel, it can be seen rising from the ink. Henry needs to clear the ink before the Giant Bendy Hand smashes the barge, which would instantly kill him.

After Henry gets to the Lost Harbor, the Giant Bendy Hand is never seen again.

Dreams Come to Life

This enemy seems to be significant in the beginning. It is referenced by Buddy's first dream of the book, where it bursts out of a door, grabbing for him.

Trivia

• It is unknown how and why the Giant Bendy Hand was created. Its appearance suggests that it could be the Ink Machine attempting to create a Bendy toon. However, Thomas Connor mentions that only one attempt at creating a physical Bendy was made, and this only attempt resulted in Ink Bendy. However, since the audio log that Thomas Connor mentions this in is from the past, things might have changed sometime in the future after the audio log was recorded.
• Concept art portrays the Giant Bendy Hand having buttons on the glove, but they are absent in the final game's release.
• In the Joey Drew Studios Employee Handbook, it is implied that Beast Bendy is the one in control over the Giant Bendy Hand.
  • This doesn't make much sense, however, since both hands are different sizes, and the Ink Demon has his glove removed while in his beast form.
    • This could only make sense if the Ink Demon's beast form can somehow mutate himself into something larger.
• The Giant Bendy Hand's design seems to be reminiscent of the large cartoon arms seen in Chapter 4, notably above the Storage 9 and Research and Design location.
• The hand that takes down Allison and Tom's barge is left under the area after the barge has been sunk.
• The Giant Bendy Hand could be a strong reference to the Magmanos enemies from The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword.
• When sped up, the strange moaning sounds that the Giant Bendy Hand makes sound reminiscent to that of a Swollen Searcher.
• The Giant Bendy Hand's appearance is very similar to a poster for the 2013 film Escape from Tomorrow, in which Mickey Mouse's iconic gloved hand is dripping with blood.
