Protogen

Template:Gootraxian 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://media.discordapp.net/attachments/510886407770734645/992373726366662716/unknown.png Update log of self-destruct's damage buff, July 8 2021.</ref> damage to all survivor players in the near vicinity. If a survivor's HP is low enough, the explosion will turn them into Ghost Fox.

Their walk speed will also be set to the value of 20.<ref>https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/510886407770734645/992373726584770630/unknown.png Update log of Protogens' self-destruct walkspeed buff, September 13 2021.</ref>
