{{Character top navigation}}{{The Floor}}

'''The Floor''', labeled '''The Down Under''', is a male contestant on ''[[Inanimate Insanity Invitational]]'' who was placed on [[The Thinkers]] until the merge. He is voiced by [[Samuel Thornbury|Sam Thornbury]]. He was eliminated in "[[Pesty Besties]]" after he was blindsided by two of his [[Candle|alliance]] [[Silver Spoon|members]] flipping to the [[Looney Balloonies]] to quickly gain control of the vote. He then became a co-host in "[[Home Is Where the Heart Is|Home is Where the Heart is]]" due to him being unable to leave the island (as he is the island), and by extension, the competition, and as a result, was ineligible to go to [[Indefinite Island]] and compete in the second re-entry challenge.

== Appearance ==
The Floor is simply a face that mostly appears on the ground. His face always looks the same, though his color and size can change depending on what terrain he is occupying. He is known to do his signature grin as presented in the intro. 

== Personality ==
The Floor is quite cheerful, laid-back, and a generally good-humored person. He enjoys eavesdropping on others' conversations and occasionally offering his own commentary. However, he has shown to be angered if stepped on, specifically his face, as he scolded [[OJ]] for unknowingly stepping on him in "[[Stranded in Paradise]]". The Floor is forthright when voicing his opinions or concerns, and often will scare others by shouting erratically to be heard from below them. He can, however, forget important details long after they're relevant.

He's been shown to be rather selfless and willing to help anyone in need, such as in [[Home Is Where the Heart Is]] where, despite not wanting to leave the island, he comforted [[Cabby]] and gave her the opportunity to capture him to bring to [[MePhone4]] for the challenge. He's also shown to be very easily trusting of others, also shown in the episode when he immediately befriends Nickel's [[Clover's Butterflies|butterfly]], stating he trusts it implicitly before promptly being betrayed by it.

== Abilities ==
The Floor has the following abilities:

*'''[https://powerlisting.fandom.com/wiki/Teleportation Grounded Teleportation]:''' The Floor has the ability to transfer himself to different parts of the ground, such as from the top of a cliff to the ground below. He's also capable of transferring himself to other inanimate objects.
*'''[https://powerlisting.fandom.com/wiki/Earthquake_Generation Earthquakes]''': When angered, The Floor has been shown to be able to cause earthquakes on the island he inhibits, as well as possibly being able to cause volcanic eruptions.
*'''[https://powerlisting.fandom.com/wiki/Size_Enhancement Size Enhancement]''': In [[Home Is Where the Heart Is]], as Silver Spoon waves goodbye at The Floor, joking he's getting smaller, The Floor makes himself (more specifically, his face) much bigger.
*'''[https://powerlisting.fandom.com/wiki/Terraforming Terraforming]''': The Floor has the ability to modify parts of the island he's currently occupying, such as in [[Friend or Froze]] where he builds a wall on the island from scratch.

== Official Site Bio ==

He's an unnervingly great eavesdropper since you never know where he could be! Because of The Floor's powerful abilities, many are intimidated by him… but he only wants to be your bud! He's a very humble and down-to-earth guy! Just watch where you step, mate.|origin = Inanimate Insanity Site, 2021}}

==Trivia==
*The word "The" is part of The Floor's name and is capitalized.<ref>https://twitter.com/jaybudva/status/1378393949757452292?s=21</ref>
*Depending on the situation, The Floor can be either the largest and widest contestant or the smallest.
*Thus far, The Floor has been shown to be a part of grass, sand, the top of [[Volcano|Paradise's volcano]] as well as the lava within it, a basket, a hot air balloon, the ocean floor, and the wooden flooring of the [[Calm-Down Cabana]].
**This means that The Floor can occupy man-made flooring, inanimate objects, and even liquids, not just natural terrain.
**In [[Home Is Where the Heart Is]], he's also shown to be able to be picked up in several ways, including by someone digging up a piece of the land he is occupying.
* The Floor's coloring depends entirely on what ground he is occupying. For example, he is typically green when on the grass, but can be tan when on the sand.
*The Floor has stage fright, despite being the stage.
*The Floor is one of few characters that speaks with an accent that differs from most, the others being [[MePhone4]], [[Suitcase]], [[Silver Spoon]], [[Tea Kettle]], [[Taco]], [[Toilet]], and [[Yin-Yang]].
*The Floor is the third limbless contestant (The other limbless contestants are [[Goo]] and [[Box]] while she was competing as a corpse.)
*The Floor is the third and final limbless contestant to be eliminated, meaning that al<nowiki/>l of the limbless contestants have been eliminated in [[Inanimate Insanity Invitational|Inanimate Insanity Invitational]].
**The Floor is the only limbless contestant to make it to the merge.
**The Floor was the only male eliminated since the merge until Yin-Yang got eliminated.
*The Floor is the first contestant of the original [[The Thinkers|Thinkers]] to be eliminated since [[OJ]] in "[[The Overthinkers]]".
*After his elimination, instead of an Exit Interview, The Floor answered questions from the fans on [https://x.com/Thisisntflying/status/1625164519667339271 a Twitter post] on Brian Koch's account.
*According to [https://twitter.com/PiggiesGreen/status/1625278670918103040 this Tweet], The Floor was rooting for [[Suitcase]] to win [[Inanimate Insanity II]]. This is not a coincidence, as Suitcase and him share [[Sam Thornbury|the same voice actor]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/Thisisntflying/status/1625282637077020675]</ref>
*In [[Home Is Where the Heart Is]], The Floor implied he is unable to leave [[Paradise]].
**This is not true, as he's been seen occupying objects outside of the island like he did with the basket and the hot air balloon in the same episode, as well as in "[[Objects in Mirror]]" where he is seen on [[Inanimate Island]].
**Brian Koch confirmed in [https://x.com/Thisisntflying/status/1863384615718650107 a Twitter reply] that The Floor was simply unwilling to leave Paradise, not incapable.
