Protogen

Protogens are normally depicted in media as cyborgs, but in TFE and Kaiju Paradise they appear as a Gootraxian.

They are white-furred half-robotic anthropomorphic creatures that wear a black, grey and blue visor on their heads, that of which has the Laminax logo on the sides.

They emit a startup noise upon transformation, Windows error popup noises upon being hit and Windows shutdown noises once killed.

Abilities

If their health is below 50%, they gain a Self Destruct function. Upon activation, they emit a beeping sound until they eventually explode, dealing 60 HP<ref>https://discord.com/channels/786788486887768135/821381992779218955/862658748077965352</ref> damage to all Human players in the near vicinity. If a human's HP is low enough, the explosion will turn them into Ghost Fox.

While self destruct is happening, their health will be set to a specific health and gain more resistance to damages. Their walk speed will also be set to the value of 20.<ref>Update log of Protogens' self-destruct buff https://discord.com/channels/786788486887768135/821381992779218955/886890408217546792</ref>

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

Protogens can be obtained by losing all of your health to a Protogen puddle, or being infected by another Protogen.
