A typical inert obstacle.
Inert is a state of matter in Epic Mickey. Neither Paint nor Thinner has any affect on inert objects.
Inert objects are usually defined by being dark and gray-looking, with sharp edges. They are either from painted objects that have had their Paint sucked out by the Blot. Most inert objects can be painted over for appearance and convenience.
Inert objects are also how Beetleworx are formed, created from real robotic parts, and painted over. Mickey must use Thinner to get through the Toon/painted parts to the weak inert center. In the ending, after the Blot is defeated, most inert regains its Paint and the Cartoon Wasteland is restored.
