Hebi

"Something is coming."

Template:Gootraxian Hebi is a serpentine Gootraxian available primarily during Blackouts. They have dark, monochrome purple skin covered in black rings all over their body, with lighter monochrome purple underbellies, hands, and feet. Their eyes are a bright purple with neon green irises and purple pupils. Their eyes glow green during Blackouts and Power Outages, unless they are at low HP (lower than half), wherein, they will glow purple instead. During this event, while moving, Hebi will leave a green (or purple when they are at low HP) trail from their eyes.

Abilities

Prepare

Hebi can prepare during Blackouts and Power Outages, which allows them to highlight survivors through walls around the map for a brief period of time.

Scythe Block (Passive)

They have a varying chance of completely blocking scythe attacks depending on the current map state. If there is no map event, it is a 50% chance. During Power Outages it is a 70% chance, and during Blackouts, it is an 85% chance. <ref name="source1">https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/858029724664463400/992231994018766898/muscular_panthers.png Update log of HP buff and scythe block passive, December 21 2021.</ref>

Upon blocking a scythe attack, they will take only 14 damage at the cost of being slowed temporarily instead of ragdolling.<ref>https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/858029724664463400/992232514976481280/MORE_MUSCULAR_PANTHERS.png Update Log for scythe block causing 1/2.5 damage, August 26 2021.</ref>

Claw

Hebi is capable of actually killing the survivor players by using their claws, in which hits are accompanied with a unique slashing effect.<ref name="source1" />

Rage (Passive)

When Hebi is at low HP, specifically below half (64 and below), their rage ability will activate, causing their eyes to glow red. This greatly reduces Claw's cooldown and increase its damage.

Claw's Statistics

Stat	Value
Damage	During Blackout: 14 (max hp); 28 (during max rage - 1hp) Lights On: 10 (max hp); 19 (during max rage - 1hp)
Cooldown	1 second (default); 0.32 (Max rage - 1hp)
Effects	Non-infectious

Screen Blur

When a Flashlight is used on Hebi, the text "The light from the flashlight irritates your eyes." will appear on the Hebi's screen and slowly blur their vision until they are far enough away from the light. Additionally, the glow from a Sprinklekit's eyes will also blur their vision, oddly enough.

Rare Item Drops

NOTE: The chance for dropping the Strange Crystal as described below is temporarily removed.

Upon death, they have a small chance (12.5%) to drop a Hebi Bombarder. They may also drop Strange Crystals, but, much like Carnelines and Kaiju, the chance of dropping a Strange Crystal also depends on how high the Hebi'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>
