First appearance: S5E4 — Chaos in Chinchilla Forest — Tormiir v Granny Edith · watch it on YouTube
The Box of Chaos’s shadowy figure is the thing that lurks inside the Box of Chaos during the Season of Fate. It is a pair of yellow eyes and a set of claws hooked over the lid, and it has strong opinions. This resident is the Arbiter’s own shadow. When the Box was left empty, the shadow of the Lord of Fate became its new soul. What it has shown of itself is part predator, part fashion critic and part picky eater who insists it isn’t picky.
Story
The figure was present in S5E4 — Chaos in Chinchilla Forest — Tormiir v Granny Edith, the bout between Tormiir and Granny Edith in The Chinchilla Forest. That match gives no detail about what it got up to.
It made a much bigger impression in S5E6 — American Amphibian — King Man Frog Bofus v Richard Knottley. With its yellow eyes glowing and its claws out over the lid, it accepted a sacrificed frog and chomped it down like a shark. In the same episode it turned its attention to Richard Knottley and critiqued his beard. Very few champions get grooming notes from inside a box.
By S5E10 — BoneBound Brawl — King Bofus v Bone Daddy (and Darcy), the figure had built up a small wardrobe. It now wore Bone Daddy’s sunglasses, and it tried on King Bofus’s pom-pom hat. It also clarified its diet: it claimed to be “not picky,” but made clear it prefers real cheese products.
Personality and Abilities
The figure is mostly darkness, with two defining features: yellow eyes and claws, hooked over the lid of the Box. It eats offerings with alarming speed, chomping like a shark, as the frog in the American Amphibian bout found out. For something that lives in a box, it is surprisingly vain. It wears Bone Daddy’s sunglasses, tries on other people’s hats, and freely judges other people’s facial hair. Its tastes are particular in a very specific way. Anything will do, apparently, as long as the cheese is real.
