Box Spy

Noun

A Box Spy is a type of player in the 2007 video game Team Fortress 2.

This player is a Friendly, which means they will not try to kill you, and are generally harmless.
As with most Friendlies, they can mostly be found on CTF and PLR maps, but can be occasionally be found on other kinds of map.

The Box Spy is a Spy player who uses the Box Trot taunt. This is a disguise to ward off danger. Most players know how to recognize a Box Spy, but newer players will think they are just a prop.

The Box Spy is a timid creature, usually they will sit still upon detecting movement. However, they are also very curious, as if you stay still near a Box Spy, they will usually come up to you.

If attacked, a Box Spy will discard their box, either to flee or to fight back.

How to approach a Box Spy:

Approaching a Box Spy is a careful task, as you must not spook them. Crouch-walking is the best way to approach them, as Box Spies see crouching as a gesture of good will. Once close, do not use any voieelines that may frighten them. Use reassuring voicelines like 'Cheers' or 'Positive'. If you are a Heavy, giving them a lunchbox item is also a good way to show a Box Spy you mean no harm.

Fun Fact: Although related, Box Spies are NOT a kind of Spy Crab. This is a common misconception among those who study Spyology.
