Dark Protogen

Dark Protogens are the event counterpart of Protogens. Like its counterpart, they emit the same sounds when hit or killed, but their start up sounds are somewhat different and sinister.

As its name states, it is mostly black. On its head, there is a visor with red "nanites" creating the illusion of facial expressions. Unlike the normal Protogen's nanites, these are individually modeled.

Abilities

Like normal Protogens, if their health is below 50% they gain a Self Destruct function, and when it is used they emit a beeping sound until they eventually explode, dealing 60 HP<ref>https://discord.com/channels/786788486887768135/821381992779218955/862658748077965352</ref> and damage all Human players in the near vicinity and turn them into Ghost Fox if the humans are low HP enough.

While self destruct is happening, their health will be set to a certain HP and gain more resistance to damages. Their walk speed will also be set to 20<ref>https://discord.com/channels/786788486887768135/821381992779218955/886890408217546792</ref> value.

The health will drain if they are in water every 1.5 seconds<ref>https://discord.com/channels/786788486887768135/821381992779218955/891712600289730621</ref> due to electrocution.

Acquirement

Dark Protogen can be acquired by losing all of your health to a Dark Protogen puddle during Power Outages or Blackouts, or being infected by another Dark Protogen Gootraxian.

Trivia

• The Dark Protogen, Protogen and Conekat are the only Gootraxians that can be hurt by water.
• The startup noise was made by FishFood. <ref>https://discord.com/channels/786788486887768135/821381992779218955/866298554853883904</ref>
• Along with its counterpart, it has a very similar existing roblox hat.
• It, along with Slime Pup, Dragon Pup, and Slime Hound are the only gootraxians to not use textures for their faces, instead using 3D modeled parts to make the face.
  • They specifically don't use textures in order to achieve the glowing effect each nanite has.
  • This is not shared by their counterpart, Protogen, due to them not needing the nanites to glow.
  • When hovering repeatedly in the bestiary, it does not make the windows error sound effect even if Protogen does.
