A Closer Look at the Bug within the Bed of Chaos

Judging by the shape of the bug, you're looking at izalith's brain. You can see the wrinkly frontal cortex, and the spinal cord, and it was all twisted and ripped from her original body.

The Witch has certainly seen better days

that godamn little bug has caused fall deaths than probably any other boss in DS1

[ceonortex]

What an adorable little flaming ball of agony

[Kidna_el_Invicto]

So, for what I interpretate, this bug IS the Witch of Izalith, and the giant branch & fire creature is just her puppet to defend herself, I mean, if we kill the bug, the Bed of Chaos dies too

"isn't my dog cute?"

Ouch, The Witch and her daughters really let themselves go...

[DeepWeeb]

Considering the Bed of Chaos (as in, the giant tree-like monster) is internally referred as "King Izalith" it makes sense that the bug it protects so dearly inside is the Witch of Izalith

She was fearless
And crazier than him
She was his queen
And God help anyone who dared to disrespect his queen

I always liked that little touch that a lot of the "fire" doesn't seem to be fire. Looks like text, of some kind.

Behold, the last Queen of Izalith, Mother of Demons, the Witch of Chaos.

I feel like they wanted this to be like the moment in demon's souls you realize the core of the great one is a pathetic slug like monstrosity. But here players are too pissed off at the boss to take time to look at it, plus you can still be hit by fire storm magic and die while inside the bed of chaos with little to no room to avoid it. So it's best not to hesitate to kill it.

Despite us hating this boss, we can't help feeling fascinated about it

[voxfoxclips]

The witch of Izalith turned into a tiny bug piloting a fre tree mech at the end of a fun slide. Weird when you say it out loud.

[ironrex]

The way it moves the more I stared at it the more disturbed I felt. Never really got to see it that up close.

[itamae]

I didn't know that the parasite in Lost Sinner was Bed of Chaos.
However, you can get the witch's soul with NG+, so it makes sense.

Офигеть, спасибо! Давно хотел увидеть близкий взгляд на этого жука

[AsAugustSleeps]

Just now realizing how much the Bed of Chaos looks like an Amygdala.

[luterm]

I wouldn't mind getting a marketable plushie of this tbh

[dragons_advocate]

You could call it... a _bed bug!_
... I'll see myself out.

[johncasey]

Never realized it was actually that bug-shaped. I thought that the Witch of Izalith was still mostly herself, just on fire and with tree and bug bits growing out of her.
