''Seems Magenta is awake... This is bad news... Especially for you...'' Magenta is the main antagonist in Chapter 3 and was the first confirmed evil Rainbow Friend that we know of. Due to his size and his unstableness, he expresses high levels of strength and he suffers majorly from anger issues, the slightest thing can send him on a rampage and due to him being the largest and heaviest of any of the Friends, this can be life threatening.
Biography[]
Magenta might have been the first monster to have been created in OddWorld Cove (an abandoned facility which would have been a huge indoor mall like area next to OddWorld). However unfortunately due to him being quite unstable, he does have anger issues and he uses violence and force to get what he wants which makes him quite formidable.
However after he ended up killing a child after one of his out breaks this caused him to be casted away, to become forgotten and casted away by the owners and CEO of OddWorld (later having Cyan to fill his place, which does explain why he's often seen bullying and even attempted to injure and kill Cyan in Chapter 3).
One thing you need to know, even though he results to violence 99.99% of the time, Magenta is also known for his high intelligence, and he uses tricks and fear to conquer his prey (which can be seen in Objective 3 in Chapter 3 when he stalks you) and even being smart enough to take out the power to make it harder for you to see and on the final chased for Objective 5 and 6, Magenta is very smart and is able to wait for you just to ambush you and on the final chase on Objective 6 he managed to ambush you and corner you off.
Appareance[]
Magenta resembles a large Therizinosaurus with a Magenta colour scheme with a large black broad beak covered in blood with jagged bony teeth, also having large eyes and feathers on his head, tail and arms.
He is covered in scars, with them covering his sides, back and face (those scars probably came from other Rainbow Friends since he's said to get into a lot of fights and casualties with them) and running down his neck and back are sharp quill like spines.
He has black claws on his feet and on his long muscular arms he has hands with long razor sharp claws which he uses to attack and slash with.
Behavior[]
Magenta basically works like Cyan but a lot harder. His vision is based on movement in the box, however he's more aggressive as if he sees you move for longer than half of a second he will begin to attack you.
The hard part comes in the form in when he sees you enter your box or if he sees you move in your box and he begins to chase after you once, the box will not work against him and he will go for you every time until Night 5, which makes him extremely tricky to deal with, and if he sees you hide inside a locker or a small hole, he can actually break it and take you out of it, insta-killing you.
Jumpscare[]
First Person[]
When jumpscared by him, he will open his jaws and then he will proceed to raise his claw and slash you completely in half.
Third Person[]
When seeing another player jumpscared, he will bite down on them and shake them around in his jaws before swallowing them whole, crushing and crunching down on you with every swallow.
Trivia[]
- Magenta is the largest Rainbow Friend that we have encountered.
- Magenta was the first Rainbow Friend to be created for OddWorld Cove.
- He is the Rainbow Friend with the most context and lore to him, we know that he at some point took his anger out on a small girl and killed her, he suffers from major anger issues, he was banned and he was supposed to be the main Mascot character of OddWorld Cove.
- In secret notes scattered around Chapter 3, it shows that Magenta might be a bit more dangerous than we thought, it states that the workers after Magenta was casted away were going to restrain him (even try to take his claws) but Magenta always killed the workers or critically wounded them before they got too close, and Magenta learnt to fight off any tranquilisers, making him quite a dangerous opponent.
- Despite his angry and dangerous personality we see in game, on the artwork we see of him, he's presented as a goofy and laid back fella who goes with the flow, he might have been intended to be like that however his unstableness turned him into a monster.
- He is the most unstable Friend who isn't an Anti-Rainbow Friend (that being Black, White, Grey and Brown).
- Magenta was the first Rainbow Friend to shake your screen with his foot steps.
- Due to his massive size, Magenta actually has a crouch animation when he walks through large doors.
- He is also the only Rainbow Friend who cannot walk through standard sized doors due to his size, but Chapter 3's Warehouse area outside is mostly full of large doors anyways.
- If you manage to run away and escape Magenta, you can actually hear him getting angry, every time he loses sight of you or you manage to escape from him, he storms off and growls and mumbles to himself, which shows his anger issues.
- Even though Red/CEO and the workers created the Rainbow Friends and work with them, they all secretly fear Magenta as he dislikes them and due to his unpredictable out breaks.
- The things that trigger Magenta the most are loud sounds (like balloon pops or children screaming).
- He is the first Rainbow Friend we know of to canonically kill someone in the lore.
