I'm sure it's the best one yet, right guys?

Pen is a male object contestant in Battle For BFDI and was a contestant in Battle For Dream Island. He is friends with Blocky, Eraser, and Snowball, and presumably Coiny. Pen was able to make it to the merge in season one, but he didn't get far; he was the 4th eliminated of the 16 mergers. Since Pen only received 285 votes to join, he did not make it into Battle For Dream Island Again.

In IDFB, the viewers got a chance to vote on one of the BFDIA rejects/eliminated contestants. He got the second most amount of votes with 3,430.[1]

Pen currently competes in Battle for BFDI on the team Death P.A.C.T.


Pen is a generic ballpoint pen. His body is slim and white, and his cap is a light blue color. Despite his blue caps, his ink appears to be black or indigo.BFB4 In early BFDI, his rear was curved, but later on it became straight.


Pen is considered one of the "cool" characters, and is good friends with Eraser, Blocky, and Snowball. However, unlike them, Pen is more optimistic and sensible, and has his nicer moments more often than them; an example is when Firey allows Pen and his three friends into Dream Island, Pen is the only one who thanks him. A more subtle example is whenever the eliminated contestants voted for anyone but Leafy to win Dream Island, Pen is the only one out of his friends who didn’t slap them for it. He tends to be nicer than his friends, as two have been shown to enjoy murdering other contestants, while the other one seemingly does not care much about other people.





Battle for Dream Island

In "Take The Plunge: Part 1", after Woody screamed loudly, Pen and Eraser comment on how Woody wasn't cool. He later appears with Snowball, Blocky, and Eraser. During the contest, he was just standing on the beam until Ice Cube knocked him over, making him lose.

In "Take the Plunge: Part 2", Pen was picked onto the Squishy Cherries team by Match and Pin. He then chose Blocky to be on the team. Later, he, Pencil, and Match was used as the "oars" for the team boat. He pointed out that the finish line was only "20 or so yards away". When Ice Cube was about to win for the Grapes, Pen knocked her away, (possibly for revenge) and thus, allowing the Cherries to win the first contest.

In "Barriers and Pitfalls", during the contest, Pen, along with Eraser, Pencil, and Spongy, came to rescue Blocky. When Pencil was singing to the Fish Monster, it grabbed her. Later, Pen, Eraser, and Blocky tried to pull Pencil out. He lost again because Tennis Ball caused Pin to fall off. At the end, the Cherries were up for elimination.

In "Are You Smarter Than a Snowball?", at Cake at Stake, Pen only had one elimination vote. Pen has looked at the test answers to answer the questions on his test, and that's how he cheated. Speaker found that out when he found the test answers, so he set Pen and Blocky's score to 0.

In "Sweet Tooth", when Blocky was eliminated, Pen was in shock because he was a "great guy" and his friend. Pen also cheated in this episode. Here's how he cheated: He and Eraser asked Leafy why she's making a huge cake. Leafy answered, "So if anyone is having trouble making a cake themselves, I can lend some!". Pen had $8, and he found $1.99. They needed only one penny, so they kidnapped Coiny. During the judging, Pen was in 8th place with 17 points. Then the Cherries were up for elimination.

In "Bridge Crossing", with zero votes, Pen was safe. Later, he found an extra bridge. He asked Eraser if he wanted to win Dream Island. He said he did, and when he won, it would be called "Pen Island" with no spaces and all caps. He fell off because Eraser discovered that the rails were only black bendy straws taped together.

In "Power of Three", Pen was almost eliminated at three votes. If Pin used her Win Token, he would've been eliminated. He was on a team with Eraser and Firey. For a long time, their team was in the last place because Firey died. Later, they were the first ones to find the real key, so all three of them got Win Tokens.

In "Puzzling Mysteries", Before the intro, Pen was able to spin a basketball on his fingertips. Pen was one of the Squishy Cherries who could switch teams. At the end of the episode, Pen finally found two pieces that fit together.

In "Cycle of Life", Pen pointed out that it still wasn't fair that four of the Squishy Cherries had to run twice, so Bubble had made a compromise. In the competition, Eraser had to carry Pen, and Pen had to carry Pencil. Once again, their team lost.

In "Insectophobe's Nightmare", Pen wasn't seen doing much, but during the six-legged race, he was being dragged along the ground, hitting a tree along the way. His team managed to win in the end.

In "Crybaby!", Pen chooses Snowball on his team. After the result of the ski contest, Pen says "Aw, seriously?" when another tiebreaker must be performed. During the handstand contest, he fails to stand as he slips on Rocky's vomit.

In "Lofty", Pen told the Announcer to do a magic trick, and during the challenge, he accidentally popped Bubble. Later on, his balloon, along with Match's balloon, popped thanks to Leafy's nail. The nail then bounced off of Rocky.

In "A Leg Up In The Race", Pen placed first in the contest. He ended up with 71 points, placing first overall. He was safe from elimination.


In "Half a Loaf Is Better Than None", Pen is dared by Eraser to jump over a small pit, Pen jumps it and states it was the easiest thing he's ever done. Eraser tries to do the same thing but almost falls and calls Pen out to save him. Pen calls out to Blocky and they all end up falling off. Pen at one point, says "Which is?", which angers Eraser since that's his line. Pen only manages to jump 1 hurdle in the contest, along with Firey.

In "Vomitaco", Pen joined the taco-making contest, where he cheated for the third time in the series, and in the same way as in Sweet Tooth only without Eraser because he was eliminated. Leafy got 6 likes for her taco, but Pen received half of Leafy's likes, even though he had the same taco and ended up in the danger zone.




In "The Glistening", Pen votes Ice Cube to be eliminated. Pen only got 32 votes and doesn't rejoin.


Battle for Dream Island Again

In "Yeah, Who? I Wanna Know", Pen was one of the characters seen chasing after Leafy. When they are in the forest, Pen said that Leafy went through the top row, put then Pencil interrupts him, pulling out a Leafy Detector and said "Why prospect, when you can detect?". Later, with only 285 votes to join, just one place away from being in BFDIA, he is one of the characters who did not join and was flung to the LOL.


Pen is only seen briefly inside the TLC in Welcome Back, where he is waving at the camera with a crazed grin on his face.


Battle for BFDI

In "Getting Teardrop to Talk", Pen is the first character seen in the season, excited to show Eraser his rectangle, but not before tripping over Rocky. After being told by Eraser that he is instead holding a parallelogram, he shows him a pentagon, which Eraser finds scary. Pen doesn't think it's scary at first, but is then scared by it. He cries for Blocky to help them, which he does by cutting the pentagon to a square and a triangle using Saw. Pen is the last contestant to be chosen for a team, ending up on Death P.A.C.T., despite wanting to be with Eraser and Blocky, as they both wanted to go to different teams which had one space left. He also won the challenge first by simply blowing the basket to X.



In "Today's Very Special Episode", after Four tells the everyone next challenge, Pen will ask Black Hole if he could do the drawing, but is interrupted by Tree, who says: Let me guess - "do the whole challenge for me"? , and he says he can not talk to Black Hole as many times as he wants.

Later he is seen protecting Four of the forks, and then he asks with his teammates what they are going to do, and they come up with the idea of calling Black Hole to absorb the forks; after trying, Remote says that the Black Holes do not have a good sense of hearing, then Pillow says to go tell him, and that she stays to stop the forks. But Pen tells him that it only takes one person to go and tell Black Hole, but Pillow interrupts him saying that if one leaves, they will all face a painful death. After a while of arguing, he sees himself and his teammates going to tell Black Hole. After being asked and Black Hole said yes, Pen is dedicated to drawing four in the 5 seconds that he had left. After finishing it, it flies away and fortunately, Bottle catches it. Later when Four wonders that he does not know what to think about the drawing, Pen says he is the best so far, and then the recommended characters come out, shouting at all angry to Pen. His team lost, placing 8th in the worst to best line.

In "Fortunate Ben", he says in Cake at Stake that his legal name is actually 🅱️en when X states that he is the first contestant with the fewest votes whose name doesn't start with a 🅱️, and reads a fortune cookie that Four gave with the other 6 who were safe.

In "Four Goes Too Far", he and the other Death P.A.C.T. members closed their eyes to avoid the Twinkle. However, Pen opened his to see what sound he is hearing, which appears to be Bubble and Match doing a staring contest, while constantly passing the Twinkle.

Pen eventually receives the Twinkle and he attempts to give it to Free Food. He ends up giving it to Marker by running around them multiple times in order to find an opening.





In "This Episode Is About Basketball", Pen gets angry at Tree for not throwing the balls far, despite the fact that Tree was stuck in Bottle. After Pie says that there's a much simpler solution, Pen misinterprets her and throws the balls into Black Hole. Pen then gets frustrated and decides, along with the rest of Death P.A.C.T., to throw the balls himself, thus securing his team safety.

In "Enter the Exit", he was stacked by Blocky, along with Needle and Match, to make a shape of Four in an attempt to bring Four back. The plan failed, however.

In "What Do You Think of Roleplay?", Pen talks with Eraser and Blocky about the competition so far. Pen mentions that he doesn't even know how Tree got into Bottle, followed by everyone laughing. Blocky plans to do another prank, but Pen declines helping because he was preventing death. He then compliments Eraser on how tolerant he's been, since he's on a team with Foldy and she looks like a pentagon. Later on in the episode, when Death Pact find out the fake on their team, Pen smugly poses before walking off.

In "Return of the Rocket Ship", Pen and Death P.A.C.T. run towards the Evil Canyon in search of X's treasure, but is stopped by Black Hole, who reminds them their mission is to prevent death, not cause death (as falling into the Evil Canyon's spikes means dying), and how Pillow had recently died. Pen flutters his arms in response, disappointing Black Hole.

Pen compliments Pie when she stops, but Pie says that Pen did flutter his arms. Pen boldly tells Four that "five is greater than four," something which was rebutted with a Screechy, which Pen and his team blocked. They jump into Four's mouth.

    • It is also the first time in the series he has been seen without his cap (not counting Last BFDI since it's non-canon).
    • Coincidentally, neither were in the comics.
  • He is the only original contestant on Death P.A.C.T..
  • Apparently, his legal name is Ben with the "🅱️" emoji, referring to the meme.
    • This makes him the only contestant with a legal name which is not what they are called by.
    • If one were to read into the joke, it seems to imply that the objects live in a place with a legal system, or at least an organization that recognizes the legality of the objects' names.
    • If this was canon, Pen won't be the first lowest-voted contestant whose name doesn't start with a B. Instead, Cloudy would take that title.
