Black is the 20th and last character and the 5th vocal of the Incredibox mod, Incredibox - Sprunki, while also being the character that changes Normal Mode to Horror Mode. He is the last canonical character, as everyone after him are cameo via Incredibox references or memes.
Appearance
Normal (Non-Canon)
Black is a pitch-black Sprunki without a visible mouth, wearing a top hat that is the same color as his body, and a white necktie. His eyes are visible, but only the sclera due to the pupil and eyelids being black.
Horror
Black looks drastically different in his horror version. He is slightly taller than the other characters, and his body is more caved in. He has a balloon-like shaped looking head in Horror Mode, and instead of having the typical cartoonish features of most characters within the mod, Black’s face is replaced by a duotone realistic human face (the majority of which is shrouded in darkness). In addition, Black emits a heavy ambiance similar to distorted radio feedback.
Horror Loop 1 + 2
Black plays a horror ambience or a horror ambient, and his sprite stays idle as the loop plays.
Personality
Black is an ominous and violent character, being the reason the Sprunki world goes down into chaos. He is stated to be "Frick’d up from the start". He is the main antagonist of Sprunki. He sometimes breaks character and acts like a kind grandpa, and is presumably forgetful, due to forgetting to kill Gray and Jevin, however he couldn't kill Fun Bot, as it is immortal.
He was also confirmed to hate brain rot and content farms.
Audio
Black utilizes Mother 3 NEW.sf2/ [0300:7D]: Metal Ambience for his audio. His notes are E3, C3, A2 and D3.

Trivia
- Black is the only character to not appear in Normal Mode, as placing him will instantly bring you to Horror Mode.
- Black is the only character without an officially given name, as seen in the in-game gallery.
- He one of the few Sprunkis named after his color, along with Gray, Oren, Durple, Sky and Pinki.
- If you try to drag Black's icon to an Empty Polo without placing every character before him, a message will be shown on-screen from Black, saying, "Don't mess with me yet... Meet your friends first", and on the Cocrea version, the icon will violently shake and move back to the original position.
- On the Incredimake version, before its deletion, the icon did not shake as it moved itself back to the original position, letting you access Horror Mode before meeting everyone else.
- Black is the only character who isn't animated at all, given that he doesn’t have a normal mode and that he does not move in Horror Mode.
- While Mr. Tree (in Horror Mode) and Tunner (in Normal Mode of the Cancelled Update) also don't have animations, it's the opposite case in the other mode; Mr. Tree has an animation in Normal Mode and Tunner has an animation in Horror Mode. Black just doesn't move.
- Black's old sprite had eyes underneath the face, which means his old sprite is built off of an even older sprite, which is seen in the gallery section.
