Description
Ben-The Prize He is just a normal boy. Well, he never had any good friends, but is fine with this. Ben always liked to roam the ruins and bleak fields around his neighborhood, where he one day discovered something unbelievable. Ed, an undead, walking around the dreary landscape. Ben chummed up with Ed and started to feed his new friend meat and dead animals he found. This went well, until Hans Showmaster heard of Ed. -Ben's description on steam

In the Game
Ben is used as a prize for Ed at the end of the levels, being locked in a cage at the end of each course.

At the end of the final level, Ben is not in a cage and greets Ed with a hug as a congratulations for winning and saving him, but Ed then eats Ben and kills him, revealing he never saw Ben as a friend at all, but rather as his next meal.

Winning the game unlocks Bencalypse, where Ben has become a zombie himself and is trying to escape the studio. Along the way, Ben kills and eats several of Hans Showmaster's workers. He eventually escapes feeling hungry.

Ben can then be played in the original levels, with a secret ending occurring if the player wins the final level with Ben.

Trivia

 * When playing as Ben, it is easier to dodge spinning swords due to his shorter height.
 * Considering Ed's in game description, it's likely that Ben is the second Undead.
 * Given the title of his spin-off levels 'Bencalypse' it's possible that after Ben escaped, he caused a zombie outbreak.
