Raytraxians

The Gootraxians are the opponents to the Humans in Kaiju Paradise. They are composed of a goo-like substance and are usually capable of infecting Humans, turning them into fellow Gootraxians, though some are capable of actually killing a Human. They usually cannot pick up items or weapons due to their slippery paws, although there is only one current Gootraxian in game that does have this ability.

When a Human loses all of their HP either due to hazards around the map or by another Gootraxian, they will turn into one of them. There are specific items lying around the map that can also turn a Human into a Gootraxian, such as the strange flower. Along with this, there are also food items that can be used on hazards, or can be eaten to turn into a Gootraxian.

Basic Abilities

A few Gootraxians have their own unique abilities that can be found within their respective entries, but almost all have two basic abilities: Grab and Attack. Attack is typically a quick swipe functionally similar to most Human melee weapons, while Grab allows one to grapple a Human, dealing a large amount of damage over time, benefitting from lifesteal, and allowing you to maneuver them into an unfavorable position utilizing environmental hazards.

Grab

"Grab them"

Grab, as its name suggests, allows one to grab their enemy, dealing a high amount of damage, varying with the duration of the Grab. While grabbing your victim, you can slowly move them into environmental hazards such as puddles, crystals and Shork fins, allowing for a quicker infection. While doing so, the Gootraxian's health will regenerate by 25% damage dealt and will gain 15 HP upon a successful infect.

In order to escape a grab, the Human must mash their screen (Mobile), spacebar or mouse (PC); alternatively, if the Gootraxian grabbing the Human is interrupted by an attack by another human, they will release the victim from the grab, althrough this can be also done by unequipping the grab. A click count appears on the screen, which the player has 15 clicks in order to escape the grab. Upon breaking out of a grab, the Human will be given a 2 second omen period that prevents them from being grabbed again.

If the option "New Struggle System" is enabled, the playes has to rapidly press two designated keys (Q and E by default) in the correct step (Exaple: First Q, then E) until the bar fills up. If the bar fills up, the player will escape the grab. However, it's slightly harder than the original one since if the wrong key is pressed, the bar will not fill up, and also causes to the grab escape be slightly more delayed.

The damage of Grab is dealt every .2 seconds. They can also be almost entirely prevented by using a Scythe at the cost of its durability and slight damage to its wielder. Some Gootraxians also have abilities that add effects to the grab, such as the unique animation of Hebi (and formerly Kawaii Shork and Panther) or Lemon Shork's ability to blur the victim's screen.

Attack

"Attack them"

Attack as stated, is a quick swipe that deals solid damage and allows for quick and efficient finishers. If the Gootraxian infects the human directly and succesfully, they will heal 30 HP. This, however, does not knockback nor does it stun Humans. In tandem with Grab, it is possible to deal a large amount of damage to a single Human by swapping to Attack after Grab, as the Grab's cooldown expires while grabbing onto a Human. Using Attack on Humans wearing "hat" transmogrifying items such as Catte buckets will knock them off of the human's head.

Some Gootraxians deal more damage, such as Manic's increased Attack damage during Power Outages or in some cases reduced damage, such as Azarue's slow health drain on a human affected by the posion gas.

Bestiary

The above table is organized to resemble the in-game Bestiary, which was added in the first part of V3.1. The Bestiary serves the purpose of allowing players to view additional information regarding Gootraxians, such as a detailed description, how many you have killed, infects obtained while using them, and how many times you have become them. Hovering over icons inside of the Bestiary will change the icon to an alternative art of the Gootraxian. Doing so multiple times on a singular Gootraxian will, in a few cases, give you an easter egg.

Entries can be unlocked by infecting 5 Humans in a row as the specific Gootraxian or by killing the specific Gootraxian you wish to unlock 5 times. The only exceptions to this are the Slime Pups, which are only obtained upon becoming one; and the Nightcrawler, which require you to either turn into or kill it once, or infect 10 Humans as a minion.

While in the Bestiary, "Snooping", composed by Fishcracks, will play on the background.

Do note that most of the Bestiary entries do not have a description yet as they are not yet finished. Unfinished entries have N/A as their descriptions instead.

Tips

The tips are based on certain players game-play and may not entirely be accurate, please keep in mind not all tips apply to certain game styles and some of these tips can cause (but not all) may require some training for.

• Stay in groups, staying in groups can increase survival chances due to you having people to back you up!
  • Especially if you have a Hazzy with a Scythe in your group!
• Use Attack on Scythes to deal more effective damage as the grab is rendered as useless due to it doing a small amount of damage and blocking your Grab effect entirely.
• Try avoiding combat near the barrier as you can accidentally run into or be knocked into the barrier, instead utilize your combat at the hazardous zones such as the flooded hallway or the room with the excessive amount of crystals in a small room.
  • This tip may be altered due to the Sprinklekit taking damage if they're in water.
• Evade from fights if you and your group is weaker and cannot win the fight as you can easily be killed if you’re outnumbered and out armed.
• Using Attack when you are attacking someone that is grabbed will infect them quicker or cause their death.
• Let the Slime Pups ride you to get a passive healing increase, and when they are knocked off of you hope that they will Bite or Steal from the enemy

Trivia

• In the previous game, The Underground Facility, the infected creatures were referred to as "Latex monsters". Due to copyright issues with the creator of the game it was based on, it was completely shut down, with TZB Studio beginning work on Kaiju Paradise and The Final Experiment instead shortly after.
  • All of them have been removed from the game for reasons stated under the previous heading.
  • The only latex monsters to have been migrated from The Underground Facility to Kaiju Paradise are Charem, Protogen, Tiger Shork and Trystan.
    • An unreleased Gootraxian named Moth was also carried over, although it was never made public.
  • However, as of 2024, The Final Experiment's development was canceled, with its elements being moved into Kaiju Paraise.
• The meshes for Gootraxians, such as the cheek fluff or tail, were made by Ronin.
  • However, prior to v3.1R, some of the gootraxian details' meshes appear to be retextured versions of the meshes taken from certain UGC items, such as the ones from JohnDrinkin, while others appear to be taken from UGCs from other creators, such as the Sinox's ears being a retextured version of the "Pointy Fluffy Ears" UGC made by antillique.
• Prior to v3.1R, most of the face assets were made by Blaxor, although a few were made by others.
• A majority of the Bestiary icons prior to v3.1R were done by Mysticalesta, except for Witchbrew, which was made by YukaChaan (Currently yukabunn), and Partyena, which was made by Gloomy.
  • Currently, in V3.1R, the all of the Bestiary icons were revamped, now drawn by Milkshake. However, the Partyena's icon remained unchanged.
• Charem and Tiger Shork were the only two Gootraxians to not have an entry within the Bestiary, due to them being removed prior to v3.1.
• Repeatedly hovering over entries in the Bestiary will result in the selecting sound becoming more and more higher pitched before yielding a special effect, along with the icon pulsing.
  • A majority of the entries will make the default infection sound.
  • Protogen makes a Windows XP error noise.
    • This is not shared with Dark Protogen.
  • Nightcrawler's icon will begin to pulse rapidly and make their Pursue screeching sounds.
  • Jammer plays a short clip of "JAMS" by Fishcracks.
  • The two Slime Gootraxians will make a toy squeaking sound, the one the Hound play is lower pitched, which were the sound they make when they get hurt, which no longer happens currently.
  • Buck makes a metal banging sound, matching their Throw ability. The sound effect is also used when the Pipe hits a Gootraxian.
  • Feizao and Fashui's icons will spin and make a cartoon slipping sound effect, matching their Slippery ability.
    • This effect is also given to their successors, Glubby and Dagoda.
  • Partyena uses the same nose honk sound effect played when another player clicks on its nose.
• Various Gootraxians are able to outright kill Humans instead of infecting them. Said methods are listed below.
  • The Slime Pup's bite.
  • The removed Slime Dragon Pup's Flying Attack.
  • The Hazzy's weapons when equipped with a Hazmat Suit.
  • The removed Panther and its replacement Hebi's Claw.
  • The Buck's Throw.
  • The Nightcrawler's Pursue.
  • The removed Feizao and Fashui, and their replacements Glubby and Dagoda's Slippery.
• Any hair accessories being worn at the time of infection will change color depending on which Gootraxian you become.
  • Every Slime Gootraxian as well as Figs, Nightcrawler, Glubby and formerly Charem are the only Gootraxians that remove an avatar's hair accessories upon transformation.
    • However, this currently appears to be broken for non-Slime Gootraxians as they do not remove hair pieces after transformation.
• As of V3.1R, all Gootraxians except Slime Pup, Slime Hound and Nightcrawler have blinking animations.
  • Hebi and Partyena technically don't have a designated "blinking" face. Instead, both of them have their tongue occasionally poking out.
• Before wall hits were made invalid, Gootraxians could grab a human on top of a shelf if they were on a lower tier, seemingly teleporting the human into the grab. This is no longer possible.
• All Gootraxians, whilst doing the Smug or California emote, will change their faces. Jammer and Night Shade will play a fainter version of the emote's respective songs.
• All of the transmogrifying items can be removed from the map by picking them up and resetting your character before becoming infected, as the item will despawn along with your body.
  • This can also be done by picking the item and donning a Hazmat Suit, resulting in the item being knocked away from the player's head. However, this only applies to the "hat" transmogryfying items.
• Gootraxians receive a 25% damage reduction when stunned, this is to prevent them from instantly dying to a large group of survivors after they get stunned.

Known Bugs

NOTE: Most bugs that are noted here have been fixed and cannot be replicated in the game's current, most stable version.

Post-V3.1 Bugs

When a human is in its animation of being infected you are still able to jump causing a quite silly outcome where the player is just hopping around while on the ground in immense pain. This currently no longer happens, as the humans no longer have a transforming animation, resulting in them turning into a Gootraxian instantly without having to wait. There was a bug where Fashui's tail would not appear to glow during a Power Outage, but would still produce light. Grabs could be used to glitch people out of the map or into the void. This was mostly fixed, but may still happen from time to time. Gootraxians will retain their kill streak as long as they don’t infect anyone, allowing them to use their kill streak on Gootraxian abilities (such as Feizao and Fashui's Slippery) despite these abilities stating that the user needs an infect streak to use them. Catte's eject ability can kill the player if the same frame of the recoil from the ability damages the player, and you take enough damage that you cant use eject's ability anymore. This no longer happens currently, as the Catte no longer takes damage while ejecting the bucket. This can also be caused by lag. Because of a Roblox update, a bug emerged where upon a Human's weapon breaking or when an item was simply depleted, the player could not use any other item, making it impossible to attack. During this same time, you were unable to transform into Sprinklekit because you were unable to eat the required amount of ice cream. Additionally, this caused grabs to also break as they would be unable to grab a Human that had either depleted one of their items, or had been grabbed by the same Gootraxian before. Using Grab on a Human and pulling them into a Fashui puddle, Feizao puddle or a banana peel may cause them to fly upwards. Because of the March 2022 Roblox Updates, the Nightcrawler's Pursue animation used to break halfway, preventing the player from properly engaging in a pursuit. Within the same Updates, the hit sounds for Grab and Attack would sometimes not play. Ragdolls or movement can affect the animation of a human being turned into any of the shorks (e.g wisp, lemon shork, pseudo shork), ragdolls will change the angle of the player being dragged down depending on where the head is facing, and moving during the animation will cause the player to be in a running/walking animation for a brief second when the animation is finished. This currently no longer happens, as the humans no longer have a transforming animation, resulting in them turning into the Gootraxian instantly without having to wait. A Gootraxian's Grab ability may sometimes break, causing the Human that was being grappled to be "stuck" to the grappling Gootraxian. Neither party will take damage during this break, rendering them "Invincible". Upon landing the killing blow on a Diamond Slime variant with either a Kaiju Basher, Carneline Striker (Currently Manic Striker or a Panther Bombarder (Currently Hebi Bombarder) would cause the Diamond Crate to bug out and not spawn in. Players could become a "rainbow" Gootraxian by eating a Strange Crystal as a Slime Pup, immediately resetting, then turn into a different Gootraxian. This was patched in the May 27th 2022 Bugfix update. This same bug used to work on Humans by following the same steps as above but not turning into a Gootraxian. Panthers may sometimes block scythe attacks 100% of the time, including outside of events. If a Gootraxian is attacked before their grab face returns to normal, their face will be stuck on the grab face until they are attacked or attack someone else. If a Human walks into a Watermelon Shork fin during an event while holding a lemon slice, they can still become a Lemon Shork despite the Gootraxian being otherwise unavailable during events. If one tries to use Private Server Commands to become any removed Gootraxian, with the exception of Charem, the game will not show the usual message that appears when trying to become a removed/unavailable Gootraxian, being "Gootrax may not existed[sic] or you haven't discovered it yet." This may be due to pieces of in-game data of the removed Gootraxians still remaining in the code, which are now removed. In a mistake update, Catte's new ability was released onto the main game, which simultaneously allowed all Gootraxians to pick up a Catte bucket, but they could not use the ability nor eject the bucket. In most recent updates since V3.1 Hallows Eve Event, many Gootraxians have broken abilities. Despite Carneline normally having a Power Outage attack buff, they do not do any extra attack damage during Power Outages. The Nuclear Rabbit's puddles that spawn upon exploding, do not deal damage to Humans that walk on them, but still play the infection sound. Upon touching the body of a dead Gootraxian in the Flooded Area, a Shork fin would be triggered to either rip the hazmat suit of a player or infect them, despite the fin never being in the position. The emote-special songs that can be played by Jammer's headphones or Nightshade's boombox have an "exceptional" range and can be heard from across the map, despite the audio itself being quiet. The tail animations for Shork, Lemon Shork, Kawaii Shork, Watermelon Shork and Lantern Shork no longer play. This still happens currently.

Pre-V3.1 Bugs

Wearing a certain avatar item used to allow you to get the katana as a Gootraxian. This could be done if the player rapidly switched between katana skins in the Abble's Shop. This hat would not be removed upon transforming into any Gootraxian, resulting in it still present on the head. You were able to do a grab & attack combo on a Human after they escaped a grab or if you canceled it. This was fixed by making the grab have a cooldown upon equipping it. However, it is still possible, although harder to do so, through more experienced players can do it properly. The grab counter's click count originally lacked a limit, and it increased every time a person got grabbed. This meant that Gootraxians could keep grabbing a Human until the needed clicks to escape reached an absurd number, resulting in them being infected. This has been fixed with the needed clicks to escape never exceeding the 30 click count back then.
