Shade

"Your eyes feel a whole lot better..."

Template:Gootraxian Shade is a gray wolf Gootraxian with black, transparent sunglasses. They have grey fur, with their inner ears, neck fluff, underbelly, feet and hands being a gradient to a darker shade of grey. Their arms and legs have curved, neon green stripes on the outer sides. They also have green paws and markings.

Their eyes are colored green, with a white ring inside. The removed VIP Shades appear the same, except for the large Video Camera tool they can equip.

They are considered a counterpart of Fed.

Abilities

Sunglasses Drop (Death)

Shade drops its sunglasses upon death for any unsuspecting Human players to walk on and become infected, though humans wearing a hazmat suit cannot pick up the sunglasses, saving them from the infection.

Acquirement

Shades can be obtained by walking over sunglasses or by getting infected by another Shade Gootraxian, although they won't have glasses to wear.

When you wear the sunglasses, the following text will pop up:

• "Your eyes feel a whole lot better..."
• "Very cool.."

Bestiary Entry

Similar to the Fed, this gootrax is wolf like, has bright green eyes, and is wearing a pair of fake, rubber like shades. This gootrax developed the same way the Fed did, but in a more safer space, a breakout in the staff lounge. Surprisingly the breakout was quickly stopped, as Shades were shown to be, though a little less intelligent than Feds, a lot nicer (though equally as dangerous). Shades show more respect for humans and more so curiosity. They are extremely protective, and work as good guards. While this specimen has not shown any aggression as of writing this log, please do not just randomly give security sunglasses in hopes of them "lightening up".

Trivia

• When a Gootraxian knocks the sunglasses off your head, the text "The glasses were knocked off your head!" would pop up.
• Shade's grab face was modified in v3.1 due to looking similar to the Fed's grab face.
• If you use the Overseer machete skin and kill a Shade that has sunglasses on, the sunglasses will turn invisible, making it act like an invisible "landmine".
  • This also happens with the "Batsaber" and "Overseen" bat skins.
  • This applies to other Gootraxians that also drop a transmogrifying item after death.
• Originally, Shades without sunglasses had an unique idle animation, resembling the one seen in the Shades with sunglasses, but without the arms crossed together. It was removed in mid-2022 for unknown reasons.
• Before V3.1R, Shade had a VIP variant.
  • The VIP variant is slated to return in the future.
• Shade has an unique idle animation, showing it with its arms crossed together.
• In the Shade's Bestiary icon when hovered, its eyes are "partially" seen, as it is instead pulling the sunglasses down.

Bugs

• There was a minor bug in which Shade's death face did not show upon dying, instead showing its low HP face.
  • This bug also occurred with Night Shade, Jammer, and Fed.
