Lost Ones

Bestiary
The Lost Ones are a group of ink creatures of the Cycle. They are former humans who became ink monsters,[1] and are now desperate to escape the endless cycle of nightmares and return back to the real world.

Physical Appearance
They have a similar appearance to humans, only deformed and skeletal. They are covered completely in black ink similar to tar and are noticeably bald. Sometimes, their forlorn-looking eyes can be seen glowing a yellowish color. They have what appear to be small tentacles for a mouth.

Behavior
The Lost Ones are neutral monsters. The harmless ones seem to be friendly as they are not personally a threat to Henry Stein. Sometimes they just stand in complete stillness, watching Henry pass, as if they are statues. They also appear to be in a state of despair, either hunched over and crying or, in one case seen in one of the rooms while traveling the vents, banging their head against the wall in a suicidal manner. They will move their heads to look at Henry when he comes near to them. Nevertheless, as seen in the fifth chapter, the Lost Ones act as a threat towards Henry, Allison Angel, and Tom after Sammy vanished upon his death. Some carry random weapons to use against the group, like a wrench, a wooden plank, or a Gent Pipe.

Early Life
Other than them being confirmed to be former humans, further details about the Lost Ones' origin has yet to be uncovered.

Boris and the Dark Survival

Only two unique lost ones (the Lost One player and the Patron) appeared in this game. The Lost One Player can been unlocked after the player has collected all the Lost Papers throughout the levels. They can then be played with instead of Buddy Boris or Sammy. The Patron can be found in the Golden Days Gallery. No groups of Lost Ones can currently be found in-game.

Bendy and the Ink Machine

Chapter 4: Colossal Wonders
The first time Henry encounters Lost ones is in the Archives, in which they are all stuck in some position like statues, gathering in front of (and seemly worshiping) the Bendy statue. If Henry returns to the room with the statue after pushing the first book, all of them have vanished.

Inside the hallway entrance to the spiral stairway, a brief horror vision will occur showing numerous arms of the Lost Ones sticking through the walls, which are seemingly grasping at Henry. After witnessing the a lost one standing on a balcony, the next room Henry will enter will have many of them, most either staring into space, sitting in a cage, staring at Henry mournfully, or sitting on the ground in despair.

As soon as Henry enters the vent, two of the Lost Ones are in front of the vent's entrance seen if Henry turns around, blocking the entrance. Another one is found in an unreachable room which can be viewed in the vents, banging their head against the wall.

One with non-glowing eyes can be found in Storage 9, sitting on top of a cage. Another one is found in the hall leading to the structure room from the Research and Design department where the Butcher Gang surrounds a heated barrel, behind bars and sobbing while curled up.

In Chapter 5: The Last Reel, upon sailing to Lost Harbor, a Lost One should be seen peacefully fishing in the entry of the village way from the distance at Henry's left.

In the same location, the Lost Ones will spawn as hostile enemies moments after Sammy is killed. The Lost Ones appear in the middle of the horde of Searchers and are killed in two hits with the axe. During the fight, some of the Lost Ones will carry makeshift weapons (such as a plank of wood) to use against Henry, Allison Angel, and Tom.

They later appear inside the Giant Ink Machine, behind most of the glass cases lining the walls.

Bendy and the Dark Revival
The Lost Ones will make a return, identified as both male and female. The Lost Ones are seen twice in the trailer attacking Audrey, and she had to either run or hide from them without being seen or fight back with any weapon wielded by her.
