Slime Pup

Template:Gootraxian 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 ride onto and get off a player's back if the person holds still and by unequipping the tool, respectively. They can be forced to get off by dealing any damage to them or walking to the forcefield spawn. Attempting to ride a Panther will get them slammed to the ground and lose below health of their health.

They can sleep, although this serves as a cosmetic only.

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

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 user leave the game, a golden grave will spawn and function similar to them in order to get the rewards, although the user itself won't be able to see or interact with it. <ref>gravestone

Diamond has 900 HP<ref name=":0" />. When hit, they drop credits that scale to the amount of damage dealt to them. Upon death or leave, they will drop a Diamond Crate. They also drop 2,000 credits to whoever landed the killing blow as well as sending out a flurry of more credits that other players can pick up. 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" />

The scaling system is as follows:

if the amount of players are less than 17 then the spawn amount would

instantly be 35 or else it'd be

(Amount of players * 3) instead.

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

Obtainability

There are 3 common variants and 3 rare variants.

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

Normal/Event

You may become a normal Slime Pup 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 Blackout, you will instead turn into a white Slime Pup with a ghostly, white, translucent body and a wispy tail.

Golden and Diamond

Getting infected by a blue puddle or transforming has a 1/250 (0.4%) chance of turning you into a Golden Slime Pup. The chance is lower when player count in server are below 15, 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.

Being an even rarer variant, there is a 1/500 (0.2%) chance you may turn into a Diamond Slime Pup. The chance is lower when players in server are below 15, at 1/1500 [0.07%]<ref name=":2" />. These variants are the rarest Gootraxians in the game.

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. This can be done by feeding Slime Pups the Strange Crystal as a human.

Alternatively, they can be achieved in private servers by nicknaming yourself a certain name.

Trivia

• 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.
• 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 able to purchase bats from Abble's Shop. This was later fixed.
• The method of making them rainbow for the nickname is a reference to the infamous "jeb_" Rainbow sheep easter egg from Minecraft.
• Pups can slide down under the shelf easily due to their small size. However, 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 were supposed to be lime green color only. <ref>https://discord.com/channels/786788486887768135/813799042777219102/815913417381904394</ref>
