**The Darkness** (also known as **The Glitch** or **The Corruption**) is the main antagonist of Learning With Pibby: Apocalypse.

It is a glitchy, rampaging ink-like blob of darkness that assimilates everything in its path and whose origin is unknown. All that is known about it is that its a mindless force that seemingly targets cartoons and turns all characters it assimilates into mindless agents that it uses to spread its influence. It is believed to be embodied by its first victim, Bun Bun.

## Appearance

### Body

Its appearance is mostly depicted as an amalgamation of its victims. The Darkness's main body consist of a glitching substance (it could be ink or black slime, but it's currently unknown.) that consumes and assimilates the various characters it encounters. It is partially made up of colorful pixels that move at a rapid speed. Its main host is hinted to be Bun Bun, but it’s currently unknown to what extent.

## Personality

The Darkness seemingly has no mind of it's own, simply causing and destruction all around its area.

## Relationships

### Bun Bun

Bun Bun serves as the main face of The Darkness and has corrupted him to fight Pibby.

## Powers and Abilities

* **Corruption**: The Darkness corrupts those around it, turning them into scary zombies that it can control.
* **Absorption**/**Destruction**: When it doesn't slurp up its minions, the Darkness can destroy or absorb whatever is in its way.

## Trivia

* There are many theories which suggest that **The Darkness** has a specific origin to it such as a bad treatment of cartoons, the true form of a specific villain (Black Hat from Villainous, for example), it being born from the jealousy and hatred of canceled and less popular cartoon characters, not moving on from shows being canceled, or how it has a relation to The Void from The Amazing World of Gumball (which is obviously the most unlikely theory, considering their major differences between each other). These theories, however, have yet to be confirmed.
* The fact that Corrupted Bun Bun was originally going to taunt Pibby with internet slang to antagonize her (mentioned in the story bible for Learning With Pibby) and that The Darkness is very glitchy with TV static being all over it suggests that The Darkness has some relation to the Internet, a representation of some part of it more so.
