Slime Hound

Template:Gootraxian Slime Hounds are essentially the adult form of Slime Pups and look almost identical but stand bipedally instead of quadrupedally, with a constantly angered expression. Their neck fur is the same as normal, but their tails are very ruffled and messy. Their masks additionally appear to have horns protruding.

Much like their juvenile form, they can also come in a variety of colors, including Golden and Diamond variants.

Abilities

Increased Health (Passive)

Normal Slime Hounds have slightly more health than other Gootraxians, at 110 HP.

Variants

Golden

Golden Slime Hounds have 600 HP. Upon death, Golden Hounds will drop 2.5k to whoever landed the killing blow and turn the weapon that it was killed with into a golden version of it as well as dropping up to 2 random golden weapons. If the player that killed the golden variant has done so for the first time, the player will recieve the Cruel Act badge. 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 if they rejoin.

Diamond

Diamond Slime Hounds have 900 HP. When hit, they drop credits that scale to the amount of damage dealt to them. They also drop 1,000 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 . 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.
Otherwise, 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 cannot regen their HP naturally overtime. However, they can still grab or attack to gain some of their HP back.

Acquirement

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

In private servers, most of them can all be obtained by using the command :tf me Slimehound;color=[color]

Normal/Event

Normal Slime Hounds can be obtained by either losing all of your HP to a pink puddle. They also have unique Power Outage and Blackout variants that can be obtained during their respective events.

Alternatively, depending on the variant, infection by another Slime Hound will turn them into the color or variant of the infector, except rare variants, which will be of random color. However, this feature is currently bugged, or possibly removed.

Golden and Diamond

Golden Slime Hounds 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%]. Getting this rare variant will reward you with the "A Rare Variant" badge and the "Aureate" bat skin.

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

Bestiary Entry

A large, canine like creature with a feathery dinosaur like tail. They have the same skull like mask that Slime Pups have. They seem to be more aggressive and more mature Slime Pups, almost taking a parental role. They are notably over protective with the pups, even going as far to punch at aggressive Panthers to keep them safe. While they may be over protective, if you show hospitality and kindness to a pup around them, more than often they spare you from their rage. ...That is, if they trust you.

Trivia

• Currently, as of V3.1R, the Slime Hounds are the only Gootraxian to have a static face.
  • This makes them the only Gootraxian to have the least amount of expressions.
  • However, prior to V3.1R, they had an extra death face.
• The nickname method of making a Rainbow Slime Hound references the infamous "jeb_" Rainbow sheep easter egg from Minecraft.
• If the player constantly hovers on and off of Slime Hound's Bestiary icon, the icon will play a low-pitched squeaking noise, similar to Slime Pup and Slime Dragon.
• Diamond variants used to be a darker shade of blue, later changed to a lighter color likely to differentiate from cyan and to identify easier.
• According to a developer, Slime Hounds are closely related to Kaiju.
• During the 2022 April Fools event, the Red Slime Hound variant was replaced with the Lean Slime Hound variant. Lean hounds were the same as the red slime hounds, but colored purple.
