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

Increased Health (Passive)

Hebi has significantly more health than other Gootraxians, at 130 HP.

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.

Long Pipe Block (Passive)

They have a varying chance of completely blocking Long Pipe 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.

Upon blocking a Long Pipe attack, they will take only 14 damage at the cost of being slowed temporarily instead of ragdolling.

Claw

Hebi is capable of actually killing the survivor players by using their claws, in which hits are accompanied with a unique slashing effect.

Rage (Passive)

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

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 Sprinklekit’s eyes will also blur their vision, oddly enough.

Rare Item Drops

Upon death, they have a small chance (12.5%) to drop a Hebi Bombarder. They may also drop Strange Crystals, but, much like Manic 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 1 infect and is guaranteed to drop at around 15 infects.

Acquirement

Hebi can be obtained via infection through the large, white crystals in the Crystal Caves during a Blackout or by being infected by another Hebi Gootraxian.

Trivia

• Hebi is the replacement of Panther.
• Hebi is one of the few Gootraxians who can outright kill survivors.
  • In this case, they can do so by using their claws.
• Hebi has a special grab animation that grabs their victims by the neck, "choking" them, much like their predecessor Panther and the old Kawaii Shork.
  • Currently, Hebi is the only gootraxian to use the "choking" grab animation.
• Oddly, this is one of the Gootraxians to lack a Bestiary description.
• When a Hebi is on low HP or dies, its eye glow and trail will be instead a pink color.
