Slime Pup

Slime Pups are one of the main Gootraxians in Kaiju Paradise. They have the lowest HP (83 HP) out of all the other Gootraxians along with Dragon Pups in the game without hat, with the exception of their Diamond and Golden variants.

They are small, quadruped, dog-like creatures made of some kind of slime with white face masks. They can come in many colors, such as red, white, lime and cyan.

Abilities

Slime Pups can bite humans (11 DMG) and Gootraxians (5.5 DMG)<ref>https://discord.com/channels/786788486887768135/821381992779218955/875753154606678127</ref> and are able to steal and hold various items from humans, this comes with the cost of having their jump cooldown increased by 1.5 seconds while holding them.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/786788486887768135/821381992779218955/886890408217546792</ref> They cannot steal items from humans that are wearing a hazmat suit. Using the Pat emote on them will result in a special reactive animation with unique heart particle effects.

They can also eat food to restore some of their HP, with the exception of lemons which damage them instead as well as Strange Crystals that once eaten will transform the Slime Pup into a Rainbow Slime Pup.

They can use ride to get on and off a player's back if the person stays still by unequipping the tool, respectively. They can be forced to get off by dealing any damage to them or by walking into the forcefield at spawn. Attempting to ride a Panther will get them slammed onto the ground and cause them lose HP. If slammed enough, they can be killed.

They can sleep, which speeds up their passive health regeneration.

They can also wear certain objects lying around the map on their heads, such as buckets or yellow cones. This increases their max health by 15 HP.

Ghost Slime Pups are able to phase through players at any time and turn invisible for 5 seconds when hit, as well as having a unique levitating sleeping animation. The latter does not affect them in combat and is purely cosmetic.

If the Golden leaves the game, a golden grave will spawn and function similar to them in order to get the rewards. The Golden itself won't be able to see or interact with the grave when they rejoin. <ref>gravestone

Diamond Slime Pups have 900 HP.<ref name=":0" /> When hit, they drop credits that scale to the amount of damage dealt to them. They also drop 2,000 credits to whoever landed the killing blow as and send out a flurry of more credits that other players can pick up, as well as a Diamond Crate. The amount of credits showered out scales to the amount of players in the server and each ticket worth 20 - 25 credits.<ref name=":1" /> Upon leaving, they will still drop a Diamond Crate along with the standard flurry of credits.

The Credit Scaling System is as follows:

if <math>Player Amount</math> is less than 17 then the credit amount would

instantly be 35, else it will be

<math>(Player Amount * 3)</math> instead.

These rare variants are unable to die by running into the forcefield in the spawn area, getting crushed by the gates or by resetting. They are unable to restore their HP entirely in a normal circumstance such as food<ref name=":1" /> or regen HP over time<ref name=":0" /> and cannot ride any players.

Acquirement

There are 7 common Slime color variants and 3 rare variants.

In private servers, they can all be obtained by using the command :tf me Slimepup;color=[color]

Normal/Event

Normal Slime Pups are obtained by losing all of your HP to the blue puddles on the floor of the facility and in the cave. Doing this during a Power Outage will result in you turning into a Red Slime Pup, with glowing, red, crystal spines along its back. During Blackouts, you will instead turn into a white Slime Pup with a ghostly, white, translucent body and a wispy tail.

Golden and Diamond

Golden Slime Pups have a 1/250 (0.4%) chance of being your color. The chance is lower when there are below 15 players in a server, at 1/750 [0.13%]<ref name=":2">chance to obtain update log

https://discord.com/channels/786788486887768135/821381992779218955/863837917700030534</ref>. Getting this rare variant will reward you with the "A Rare Variant" badge and the "Aureate" bat skin.

Diamond Slime Pups have a 1/500 (0.2%) chance of being your color. The chance is lower when there are below 15 players in a server, at 1/1500 [0.07%]<ref name=":2" />. These variants are the rarest Gootraxians in the game.

Neither of these rare variants can be obtained during events.

Rainbow

You can become a Rainbow Slime Pup that shifts through multiple colors by eating a Strange Crystal from a human's hand. You can earn a "Perficiendus Perfectum" badge from this as well as the Rainbow Bat skin by feeding Slime Pups the Strange Crystal as a human.

Alternatively, they can be achieved in private servers by nicknaming yourself a certain name or by using the :rb, rb [player] command.

Bestiary Entry

A small, dog sized creature that is translucent, with a skull like mask in the front. They can vary in colors. These creatures are the first of the neutral species that have been created, and have been noted to follow humans and infected around, expecting food and pets. They're often childlike, but on rare occasions the aggressive biters are seen to grow in size, and eventually form into a Slime Hound.
Slime Pups are often extremely curious, but lazy. They sleep around a lot, and will even sleep on your back if you let them. If one is bothering you, just give it a treat or something.

Trivia

• It is the first Gootraxian in the game to have abilities that do not have the standard attack and grab.
• Bricks are the only weapon that do not turn gold upon killing a Gold Slime Pup.
• The Slime Pups' face masks were based off of apple cores, the eyes being seeds and the mask color being similar to the inside of an apple, as confirmed by one of the developers.
• Apparently, they taste like fruit and the flavor depends on their colors. Eating the body part will turn you into them, but the tail is safe to eat. <ref>(do note though that this is not in game, but lore)https://discord.com/channels/786788486887768135/858977993317548032/945147352354791435</ref>
• Pups stealing bats started as a mistake that hadn't been fixed. Now, it is an ability all Slime Pups are capable of using.
  • There was also a bug where pups were able to purchase bats from Abble's Shop. This was later fixed.
  • There was also another bug with bats. If multiple pups grabbed a bat at the same time, they would both grab it, causing a "fusion." It was possible for more than 2 of them fused together. This bug has been fixed.
• The nickname method of making Rainbow Slime Pups references to the infamous "jeb_" Rainbow sheep easter egg from Minecraft.
• Pups used to be able to slide down under the shelf easily due to their small size. You can no longer do this, as they added a barrier for it. <ref>https://discord.com/channels/786788486887768135/821381992779218955/882877749637828628</ref>
• Originally, the Slime Pup was supposed to be lime colored only. <ref>https://discord.com/channels/786788486887768135/813799042777219102/815913417381904394</ref>
