Bungi is the blue, round-bodied three-eyed creature from DreamWorks Animation’s Forgotten Island. The centered forehead eye, tiny purple horns, pointed ears, sparse textured hair, and cropped bronze-gold armor give Bungi a distinctive silhouette. The exposed blue belly has a tan crossed patch, while the maroon lower garment and colorful thread-spool belt add just enough homemade charm.
For the wearable version, start with the royal blue open-face bodysuit, then add burgundy shorts and your own cropped gold foam armor. Brown rope makes a sturdy belt base, and empty cardboard tubes wrapped with bright yarn become lightweight faux spools. Add the purple horn headband, forehead eye applique, and optional light blue face paint highlight. The blue toy and baby bottle are fun poster-inspired props, but they are totally optional. This look does not require exposed skin or a particular body shape, so you can focus on the color, armor and face details.

How to Put the Costume Together
1. Fit the blue base and shorts
Start with the royal blue open-face bodysuit and burgundy satin shorts. The suit includes a hood, hands and feet, so separate blue gloves are unnecessary. Check the garment’s stretch and size chart. Wear secure shoes for walking; do not rely on the fabric foot section as a shoe sole. Bungi’s round silhouette can be suggested with a little soft padding inside clothing if desired, but it is not required.
2. Pattern the cropped armor
Make a paper pattern over the actual bodysuit. The front should run across the upper chest and stop above the belly, with a shallow center neckline notch. Add short shoulder/sleeve panels rather than a long breastplate. Leave room to raise both arms and sit down. Transfer the fitted pattern to the gold foam roll, keeping the paper pattern for matching pieces.
3. Give the gold foam a bronze finish
The linked roll is shiny gold raw material. Test a small scrap before adding brown or bronze acrylic paint, then lightly brush the color into the edges to soften the shine. Suggest the reference’s woven texture with shallow drawn crisscross lines. Attach panels to fabric tabs or hook-and-loop strips at the sides; make matching broad wrist cuffs with loose closures. Follow the adhesive and paint curing directions before wearing.
4. Make the third eye and shorter horns
Layer a white oval, purple iris and black pupil from the assorted foam sheets. Add a small curved eyebrow above it and attach the flat piece to the forehead area of the hood or a fabric band. The purchased purple horns flare outward more than Bungi’s short points. Keep them for a quick version, or roll two small purple foam cones and fasten them to a plain band for a closer shape. Blue foam triangles on the hood can suggest his pointed ears.
5. Build the spool belt and belly patch
Wrap small pieces of empty cardboard tube with bright green, yellow, pink and turquoise yarn. Add flat cardboard circles at each end, then fasten the lightweight spools horizontally along the brown rope belt with thread loops. Fit it over the shorts without tightening the body suit. Cross two small tan foam strips on the blue belly and attach them to the garment to recreate the patch.
6. Choose the face and optional props
The light blue makeup is a highlight shade, lighter than the royal blue suit. Use it sparingly according to its label, or leave your face natural and let the hood and third-eye applique identify the character. Craft glue belongs on the costume, not skin. Bungi’s poster shows a small blue toy and bottle: make a flat three-eyed toy silhouette from leftover foam or use an empty toy bottle from home for optional photos.
The Details That Make It Bungi
Keep the armor short
A full-length gold vest hides the blue belly and crossed patch. Preserve that gap between armor and belt; it is one of the clearest differences between Bungi and a generic blue fantasy warrior.
Make the eye read clearly
Use a bold white outline, purple iris and dark eyebrow so the forehead eye remains visible in photos. Keep it flat and high on the hood. The face stays unobstructed, and the hood or band carries the craft materials.
Simplify without losing Bungi
For a quicker party version, keep the blue base, third eye, short horns and cropped gold front panel. The spool belt, wrist cuffs, ears and toy add detail as time allows. These are build options for the same design, not alternate canonical outfits.
Bungi Cosplay Ideas
Slip into the royal blue open-face full bodysuit first. The attached hands, feet, and hood create Bungi’s blue shape without requiring full-body makeup. Wear your own secure shoes underneath the suit or foot covers, since fabric soles are not outdoor footwear. Pull on the burgundy satin shorts over the suit for Bungi’s maroon lower half.
The armor is a simple craft project, not a premade costume piece. Trace a paper pattern for a cropped torso band and short sleeves, then transfer it to the gold EVA foam roll. Cut carefully, test your adhesive and paint on scraps, and attach the finished pieces with removable fabric tabs or hook-and-loop fasteners. Dry-brush bronze and brown acrylic over the gold after checking that the paint works with your foam. Use the brown rope belt as the waist base.
For the belt details, wrap lightweight empty cardboard tubes with colorful yarn and attach them along the belt as faux thread spools. No heavy craft-store spools needed. Add the purple horn headband, or cut short outward-pointing cones from craft foam for a closer silhouette. Place a flat white, purple, and black foam third-eye applique on the hood or a forehead band. Light blue face paint is optional, and natural skin is completely fine. Keep all craft glue away from your face, and follow the makeup label near your eyes.
Bungi Halloween Costume FAQs
Practical answers about Bungi’s costume pieces, DIY details and comfortable styling.
Nope. The royal blue bodysuit does the heavy lifting, and the optional light blue face paint can add a highlight. Natural skin is completely fine.
Use the gold foam roll as raw material, make a paper pattern first, and cut a cropped band with short sleeves. Test paint and adhesive on scraps, then use removable fabric tabs or hook-and-loop fasteners.
Empty lightweight cardboard tubes and bright yarn work perfectly. They look the part without adding the weight of real spools.
Layer a white oval, purple iris and black pupil from craft foam, then add a curved eyebrow. Attach the applique to the hood or a fabric forehead band.
No, they are optional poster-inspired props. Bring them only if they are safe and comfortable, and skip them if you want easier movement or a simpler build.
About Bungi
Bungi is a character from DreamWorks Animation’s Forgotten Island, shown in the official character poster and a studio-credited press film still as a blue, round-bodied creature with three eyes. One eye sits in the center of the forehead, giving Bungi an instantly recognizable look. Small purple horns, pointed ears, sparse blue textured hair, and cropped bronze-gold armor finish the creature’s silhouette.
People will want to dress as Bungi because the design is cute, strange, and packed with easy visual markers. The costume has a bright blue body, maroon lower garment, wrist cuffs, a tan crossed belly patch, and a colorful thread-spool belt. The poster also shows a blue toy and baby bottle, which can work as optional props, but Bungi has no signature weapon to recreate. For cosplay, the key is the playful shape and face design, not exposed skin or a specific body type. A blue bodysuit, foam armor, horns, and forehead eye do most of the work.
