Box

Box, labeled The Box, is an actual insentient contestant on Inanimate Insanity II. He was placed on The Grand Slams.

Box competed as a contestant on Inanimate Insanity Invitational on the Sinkers before his elimination.

Personality
Box is not shown to have a personality, since he is not alive. Despite this, other contestants treat Box as it were sentient, often speaking to and for him or seeing his silence as shy, wise, emotional or rude depending on the situations.

Trophy is the only character to call out the cardboard material's lifelessness prompting everyone else to defend the inanimate object. Despite that animosity both teamed up in The Participation Trophy were it's also revealed Box idolizes Trophy and "mimics his exercise regimen" using it to swiftly (offscreen to the viewers) navigate the kiddie pool obstacle course earning Trophy's respect despite both of them also losing to Team Cinnamonfinity.

Even though Box seemingly moves sometimes, it's been stated multiple times Box is not a very good swimmer sinking rapidly in any body of water being rescued by Lifering and Yin-Yang.

Appearance
Box has a simple appearance that accompanies his rather plain and nonexistent personality. He is an ordinary rectangular cardboard box with four sides. A bump-like design runs along Box's sides and splits them into a lighter half above and darker half below. His top can be opened by two small flaps.

The inside of Box is completely empty, except for the written word "box", which Apple notably misreads as "Taco".

Trivia

 * On the official site, Box's biography is intentionally vague, hinting Box's simplicity and mysteriousness.
 * Box is the first limbless and faceless character to compete on Inanimate Insanity; the second was Black Hole.

 * In AnimationEpic's video "Inanimate Battle 2", Taco was in Box, as a joke. It also refers to the fact about what was inside Box, and when Apple opened it, she thought it said Taco, but it turned out to be a mistake since Knife corrected her with it saying Box.
 * In the credits of "Breaking the Ice," it says that Box is voiced from Derek Napolitano, because of the secret line is made in that episode.
 * As stated in the description of "The Best of Box", Box was originally never supposed to be a contestant, but he became one when Derek and Adam were laughing at the idea of just making a cardboard box a character.

 * As revealed on the new Inanimate Insanity Site, he "enjoys transcending time and space."
