Sorry I didn't see this comment right away-  I'm happy to answer!!

1. Yes, Fun Computer is infected!  The darkness couldn't penetrate their hardware since it was built to be durable/sturdy, so it seeped into their software instead.  Since they're not actually corrupted physically, they can't spread the infection like other darkened Sprunkis can.  However, they can still aid the other darkened in catching victims.

2. The black in the bonus row is the real Black!  The one in the bottom row is supposed to just be a physical representation of the darkness and the way others percieve Black in this universe, but this world's version of Black isn't actually evil; just mischievous and morally grey.  The Darkening (phase 2) isn't canon and is an alternate universe where the prophecies that Jevin constantly blabbers about actually came true, but in the canon timeline it never happened, simply because Black didn't feel like it.

3. Okay so!  The infection can spread in two ways: either Black manually inflicts it using his powers (which most of the others don't even know he has), or when an infected/darkened Sprunki attacks an uninfected Sprunki.  Things like scratching or biting or even just punching can cause the darkness to spread to the victim.  Essentially, the infection makes them slowly lose their mind and consciousness altogether, making them a blank husk that wants nothing other than to spread the darkness.  The spread of the infection and how quickly it takes over all depends on the individual Sprunki's strength of will.  Raddy, for example, is almost entirely infected, but his determination and strength prevent it from fully controlling him.  He applied the chains visible on his body to himself willingly, to reduce the risk of him hurting the others.  Garnold and Clukr are working on finding a cure, but their constant arguing and difference in moral beliefs has halted their progress a decent bit.  They were able to discover that the darkness will clear up very slightly if an infected Sprunki is exposed to light for an extended period of time: they found this out after closing an almost entirely infected Oren in a room with Mr. Sun, whose light was just bright enough to make some of Oren's color return, but not bright enough to make a real difference.

sorry for the extra questions,

Can the sprunkis still be recovered after they've been completely taken over?

Does the darkness spread or does it have to be manually added?

by the way it's fine if you take your time, I don't mind if people take however long they need to, plus I'm also used to it.

1. Uncertain, but there's a chance?  Once they're fully darkened they're pretty much blank slates that do whatever Black says.  They would be dangerous to approach and nearly impossible to contain so Garnold and Clukr haven't been able to do any tests with them.  It's not out of the question, but it's very unlikely.

2. The darkness won't spread unless the inflicted Sprunki is almost entirely infected, otherwise it can only spread if they are attacked again.  A partially infected Sprunki can't spread darkness to an uninfected Sprunki.

I don't mind answering questions!  In fact I enjoy it, it gives me a chance to share the lore and random facts I have in my head :)

I wonder if when they're fully infected are their original bodies still intact inside or is there nothing left but just "dark muck"? Or if it doesn't spread if the host is simply touched but not hit? What is Jevin? Or is he unique?

1. Their bodies are still intact physically, it's hard to explain-  Essentially, they're covered in a permanent shadow that absorbs all light that hits it, which is why their colors aren't visible at all.  Technically, underneath, they are still intact.

2.  The infection CAN spread from simply being touched, but it's much slower than being injured.

3.  Jevin is no different than the others, but since he's practically Black's shadow and follows him everywhere (as well as being the one who came up with the prophecy of the darkening in the first place), he was the first one infected.  He was fully darkened right away and then sent out to attack the others.

I meant is he some sort of squirrel or something else?

Oh-  No he's just a regular Sprunki with a weird tail and a robe
