The Box of Gavrok was a mystical chest containing "about 50 billion" spider-like creatures.[1]
History
In 1999, Richard Wilkins had the Box of Gavrok shipped to Sunnydale[1] for him to perform the Ritual of Gavrok in preparation for his Ascension.[2] Mayor Wilkins kept the box guarded by vampires and magically protected in the Sunnydale City Hall until Willow performed a dissolution spell over its protection and Buffy took the box.[1]
The Scooby Gang intended to destroy the box with the Breath of the Entropics; however, Faith captured Willow and they decided to trade the Box of Gavrok for Willow. In their meeting at Sunnydale High School, Principal Snyder intercepted the box with a security guard, who unwittingly opened the Box of Gavrok and freed two of its creatures. After the guard and the two creatures died in the fight, Mayor Wilkins left with the box.[1]
On the night before his Ascension, Mayor Wilkins readied himself with the Box of Gavrok, performing the Ritual of Gavrok by ingesting its creatures.[2]
