Behold! That green bean, tennis shoe wearing, troll-haired creature is in fact... the original Twilly. Before AdventureQuest existed, I was drawing and coding in Flash. I had just purchased one of those digital drawing tablets and... he was the first thing I drew.
The origin of Bean Twilly
But... why Tennis Shoes?
I had imagined Twilly as a time traveler. So he would go to the future and find things like shoes and TVs and bring them back to this fantasy timeline.
The original version of Twilly was more chaotic and full of mischief than the character he would later evolve into it.
Big feet Red Twilly
Twilly evolution
Shortly after, I redrew Twilly. This time he was red with giant feet and a (Stewie from the Family Guy) football shaped head.
Twilly
This is not even my final form!
Twilly would be redrawn a few more times before he became the adorable Red Healing moglin we know today. He has appeared in A LOT of games including AdventureQuest, DragonFable, AQWorlds, BattleGems, Dungeons & DoomKnights, AdventureQuest 3D and more.
...and of course the Plush that you made real.
Thank you!
There is a picture of Bean Twilly in almost every Inn
Nearly all of our Game's Inns have a Picture of Bean Twilly on the Wall
A weird thing... if you look at the wall of the Inn in most of our games, you will find a picture of Bean Twilly. This was original done as a joke. And it just kept going. Bean Twilly is even on the wall in AdventureQuest 3D's Inn.
...and now he is BACK!
It is the 20th Anniversary of Artix Entertainment.
So we wrote Bean Twilly into the crazy finales of our in-game special anniversary events.
Get Bean Twilly as a Quest Reward
You can get bean Twilly in both AdventureQuest 3D and AdventureQuest Worlds by completing the story.
If you would have told me, 20 years ago, that the silly drawing I made would appear in a 3D MMORPG I never would have believed it. This may be one of the craziest and weirdest things we have ever done.
OK.... these 6 adventures are probably the craziest and weirdest things we have ever done.
Perfect for the Halloween Weekend
Written by Beleen, Memet, Alina, and myself, this marathon of "anything-goes" adventures makes up AdventureQuest's Cursed 20th Anniversary of Doom.
Join us and earn your Bean Twilly pet!
You are formally invited to join us in the 20th Anniversary event. Bean Twilly is waiting.

You just received Humbug and Blizzy, our two newest Moglins as pets in AdventureQuest 3D!
Happy Frostval Moglomancers,
Tis' the season for giving. Two new Moglins have appeared in AdventureQuest 3D. Humbug , the endlessly sarcastic, anti-holiday cheer moglin. And Cuddly Blizzy, which may be the most adorable Moglin to appear in game yet. We used our flying reign dragons to get to the roof of the bank, hop down it's chimney (does it even have a chimney?) and...
We added BOTH Humbug and Cuddly Blizzy to your Moglin collection in AdventureQuest 3D!
Your Moglin Collection is accessable on Hootenhiem in the bank
You might notice we already had injected a Humbug directly into your characters inventory. But we added them to the collection too.
AdventureQuest Worlds is creating a version of Humbug for their game too... Alina says you should keep an eye out for next week's release :D
Oh, to play AdventureQuest Worlds and our other amazing web games forever, be sure to grab the Artix Games launcher. It is smaller than a normal game, but powerful enough to run all of ours.
We had jokingly promised that you deserved a badge just for making it through the craziness of 2020. No one is laughing now. The finish line is now in sight. Your badge is waiting for you on the other side.
We have shipped out all of the pre-orders for this year's 2020 Artix Calendar. There are still some calendars available for purchase. You should check out this behinds the scenes story... as a backer of the Moglins project, and all of our transparent posts, you probably have a better understanding what really goes into making and delivering a new product.
We hope you and your loved ones have a fun, safe, and adventure filled holidays. Hop in AdventureQuest 3D and take Humbug and Cuddly Blizzy to the festive and thematically appropriate... uh... vampire and werewolf infested Darkovia Forest? (Did we really release the Werewolf Coliseum this week!? Crazy.)
Battle on!
