Twisted Boxten

Twisted Boxten closely resembles his standard Toon form, consistent with the minimal visual changes typical of Common-tier Twisteds. His model features only subtle modifications, including Ichor-stained feet, orangish-red sclera with black irises and small red pupils, and a dark purple blush between his eyes. His mouth is stretched into a wide, sharp-toothed grin. The most striking change is his unlatched lid, which hangs open and drips Ichor, revealing two additional arms that he uses to strike at Toons. A broken clip that once secured the lid to his head is also visible. When he spots a Toon, his pupils constrict and his grin opens wider.

Twisted Boxten is a standard roaming Twisted with no special abilities according to his Research data. Consistent with his Toon counterpart's well-rounded stats, his speed, detection range, and attention span are all average. If he spots you, prioritize breaking his line of sight and try to keep 40-70 Stamina in reserve for sprinting away from him, especially on later Floors where chases become more frequent. Running out of Stamina leaves you completely vulnerable and could end your run. Sprint-tapping can help if your Stamina is nearly depleted, letting you gain a small distance while allowing some regeneration. Since Twisted Boxten is functionally identical to Twisted Cosmo and Twisted Poppy, you will encounter this archetype often and learn to handle it quickly. That said, stay alert to your surroundings since he can ambush you thanks to his lack of audio cues and darker color palette, which makes him particularly hard to spot during Blackouts. Also note that his hitbox is somewhat large because he leans forward during chases and the Ichor arms in his box reach outward similarly to Twisted Yatta.

Completing 100% Research on Twisted Boxten unlocks:

• Twisted Boxten, Twisted Poppy, and the Common Event Twisteds share several characteristics in common. They are all Common rarity, their Research descriptions acknowledge them as among the most frequent encounters, they have average stats across the board, and their Toon counterparts likewise have average stats, straightforward abilities, and high pick rates in public servers due to easy unlock requirements.
• He has two extra Ichor arms that emerge from his open head, which he uses to attack players in a manner similar to Twisted Gigi's Ichor claw, though his arms are smaller and lack claws, appearing as ordinary Toon hands instead.
• His winding key spins while he chases a Toon, reflecting his heightened focus, similar to how his Toon counterpart's key rotates during Machine extraction and in interactions with Cosmo and Ginger.
• Due to how texture sheets are applied, Twisted Boxten has an unintentional texture error where Ichor appears to leak from the back of the bottom of his head.
• He was the first Twisted to visibly show Ichor inside his head, a trait later shared by Twisted Razzle & Dazzle, Twisted Toodles, Twisted Teagan, Twisted Shelly, Twisted Finn, Twisted Glisten, Twisted Gigi, Twisted Bobette, Twisted Bassie, and Twisted Ribecca. Twisted Ginger may also qualify, though it is unclear whether the Ichor originates from inside her head or simply sits atop the bite mark.
• Twisted Boxten, along with Twisted Cosmo and Twisted Poppy, were the first Common Twisteds to receive optimized models after originally launching without optimization.
