Kaiju

Template:Gootraxian Kaijus are the titular Gootraxians in Kaiju Paradise.

They appear to be large, dark-blue reptilian humanoids with a lighter blue underbelly and glowing, blue crystal spines running along their backs and tail. They have magenta-colored eyes with yellow irises, a light blue tongue and dark blue claws on their hands and feet. They also have blue stripes similar in color to the crystals on its waist and arms.

Abilities

Increased Health (Passive)

Kaijus have much more health compared to other Gootraxians, with a total of 125 HP.

Larger Size (Passive)

Kaijus are slightly larger in size compared to other Gootraxians, being 1.1x larger.

Rare Item Drops

Upon death, they have a 1/8 (12.5%) chance to drop a Kaiju Basher. They also have a chance to drop a Strange Crystal, but this chance varies depending on how high the Kaiju's infect streak was before dying, the higher the streak, the higher the chance. A Strange Crystal will only have the potential to drop after 3 infects, and is guaranteed to drop at 20 infects or more.

The chance for the Strange Crystal works as so:

<math>15 + [(Streak - 3) * 5] = Random</math>

<math>Random</math> = Generated number from 0 - 100, effectively operates the percentage chance.
<math>Streak</math> = Player's current infection streak. It must be 3 or higher to have any chance to drop a strange crystal.<ref>https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/858029724664463400/992228955224551435/crystal_math.png Strange Crystal drop rate formula, December 19 2021.</ref>

Acquirement

Kaiju can be obtained via infection through the blue crystals in the Crystal Caves or by being infected by another Kaiju Gootraxian.

Bestiary Entry

A giant lizard-like creature that slowly has crystals growing outside of it's back. These crystals may vary in size and placement, but are mostly seen along the back of the creature. Kaijus tend to be passive aggressive, and are very territorial. These tanky creatures tend to attack when provoked, but if you keep your distance, they will leave you be... most of the time. The crystals in the main cave are actually shed scales that built up overtime. Touching any of those scales appear to be infectious, be careful of them. Kaijus love spending time in the crystal caves or near water. While they do not swim often, they have shown to be very mobile in water and almost more aggressive. Refrain from going near any of the large blue crystals inside the cave.

Trivia

• Kaiju were one of the first Gootraxians available since the Kaiju Paradise's first public release.
  • The concept art for Kaiju was posted in the game's official Discord server on February 22 2021. See the "Gallery" section for the concept art.
• They are also one of four Gootraxians to have a different size value, the others being Slime Pup (being 0.8), Slime Dragon (being 0.85) and Witchbrew (being 0.85).
• Due to Kaiju's size, Kaiju is unable to take advantage of floor level environmental hazards. However, this also means it's possible for Kaiju to instantly infect or deal unreduced damage on hazards to players who escape their grab.

Bugs

• There was a bug in which the character model for the Kaiju goes "bald" (Loses its head details) after resizing.
• Currently, there's a bug where if you have a Catte bucket or a Fed fedora on your head and then turn into a Kaiju, you will have delayed controls and get stuck inside said transmogrifying item after resizing until it despawns.
