Appearance

Paperball is a bipedal, living ball of crumpled up newspaper. He wears black glasses, and his limbs are scrawny and black as well. His arms are made out of newspaper.

In season 2, he is slightly changed, as he develops eyebrows, dots for eyes, and a mouth. His legs and arms look different, too: they are now no longer made of newspaper, and his arms feature black sleeves while his feet are now covered by black boots.

In and after "The Boss," he gets yet another redesign. He remains the same as he did in season 2 except there are no newspaper writings all over his body. His eyes are also more "realistic."

Despite this, he can be seen in his old design during the car chase in "The Law."
