X

Nickel, Rocky, Balloony, and Woody!!

X is and/or was the co-host of Battle for BFDI, the fourth season in the BFDI series.

X's first appearance in BFDI was in Getting Teardrop to Talk where he and Four lead a game to win "a BFDI" (which means the winner will get another Battle for Dream Island). X appeared alongside Four, another abstract being representing a real-life number or variable, or the multiplication sign.

Appearance
X is simply a yellow drawing of the letter X with limbs. Similar to Four, he is purposefully drawn simplistically, with different assets and four fingers.

Personality
X seems to be much more friendly than his partner, Four, and is usually seen to be quite happy and friendly toward every contestant. However, X also seems to be quite soft-hearted, crying after Four stated nobody noticed his disappearance except for Cloudy, and becoming frightened after Four screeches at him. He can also be considered a bit ignorant, such as congratulating the ground for "catching" as they were falling from their plane.

Coverage
X's first appearance was in a 2008 animation X Finds Out His Value along with Four, nine years before first appearing in the BFDI series in Season 4, with Four possibly making up as a host and running gag because of the season they first come back in. This also shows that X doesn't refer to the English letter, but the algebraic variable or the mathematical symbol of multiplication.

X played a major role in the challenge in Getting Teardrop to Talk. The contestants had to return his baskets back to X, who was standing on a tall platform, in order to avoid elimination. At the end of the episode, X puts on 4 of his baskets on the night, causing him to spin fast eventually.

In Lick Your Way to Freedom, X collaborates in the Cake at Stake as the character who throws the cakes, with Four being the one who says who is safe and who goes home/gets eliminated. Later in the episode, he warns Beep that Four won't like the fact that Roboty was missing. Once Beep loses, X tells them that one of them will be eliminated.

In Why Would You Do This on a Swingset, X reminds Four that it's called Cake at Stake, and not Brake at Flake, prompting Four to insult X. Four later causes X to cry when they say that nobody noticed he was gone, despite Cloudy being the only one noticing.

In Today's Very Special Episode, Four once again causes X to cry during Cake at Stake when X got the number of votes wrong. X also translates Four's muffled speech. X assists Four in placing the team tags on the rating scale during the challenge and offers his opinion on iance's and Death P.A.C.T.'s make-overs. The Loser's make-over was a papier-mâché mold which was encasing X, which may have contributed to their low placing at 7th.

In Fortunate Ben, X insulted Pen as, after Four started screeching, he stated that he is a "disgrace to the entire art community." Four said that he was thrown in the limb reattachment center, but when collided with the cliff in the challenge, he thanks the ground. In the stinger, he is "dancing" (on which is actually swinging it's hands) with 2 singers, one distortioned, and one low-pitched in the audio.

In Four Goes Too Far, X first appeared at Cake at Stake. Four asked X that who's also safe. X answered by mentioning all of the contestants from except for David and Roboty. When was pushing Donut to the sledding, they also have got X, then Four. That makes it the last appearance of X so far.

Abilities

 * As shown in Getting Teardrop to Talk and Fortunate Ben, X has the ability to float in mid-air.

Role
X plays a role as Four's assistant. He is passive by his latest appearance in Four Goes Too Far.

He sets up the challenges, as seen in Getting Teardrop to Talk, where the contestants must reach X to bring his baskets back, and in Fortunate Ben, in which the contestants must keep their respective teams' plane in the air as long as possible.

X is the person who hands out prizes to the safe competitors at Cake at Stake. He did not do this in Why Would You Do This on a Swingset because he was sent to the "burn center" after being insulted by Four, and in Fortunate Ben, in which he didn't hand out prizes because his left leg was broken by Four and was sent to the Limb Reattachment Center after interrupting Four and "taking his line".

Deaths

 * Four Goes Too Far: Is multiplied by Four and Donut.

Quotes

 * "Oh, I dunno, I just don't know what I am; what my value is." - X's first words (X Finds Out His Value)
 * "Yeah! Too bad!" - X's first words (BFB)

 * "I love that prize!"
 * "Don't you mean Cake at Stake?"
 * "It's time for the intro, Four!"
