Slime Pup

Template:GootraxTab Template:Removed Gootraxian Template:Gootraxian The Slime Pups were one of the main Gootraxians in Kaiju Paradise.

They were small, quadruped, dog-like creatures made of a type of slime with a eyes and eyebrow on the facial mask, tinted to whatever color variant they were. They come in many colors, such as red, white, lime, and cyan.

Abilities

Wearing Cones

Slime Pups could wear certain objects on their heads like a hat. Before removal, only the yellow cones were wearable. Wearing a "hat" increases their max health by 15 HP, giving regular variants 100 max HP total.

Bite

Slime Pups could bite every 4 seconds, dealing 11 damage to Humans and and 5.5 damage to Gootraxians. The target is shown the following dialogue upon being bitten:

• Ouch! A slime pup bit you..

If the Slime Pup tries to bite again within the cooldown it would show the following dialogue:

• So tired.. I need to take [num. of seconds remaining] seconds break first.

Steal

Slime Pups could steal and hold various items from Humans. The ability could used every 15 seconds. However, the Slime Pup's jump cooldown would increase by 1.5 seconds while holding a stolen item. They could not steal items from Humans wearing a Hazmat Suit. If a Slime Pup holding an item is attacked, or clicks on the screen while holding an item, the item would be dropped, allowing other players to grab the item. Slime Pups were also unable to use items they have stolen, and stolen items would not appear in the pup's inventory.

The target is shown the following dialogue upon losing an item to a pup:

• A slime pup stole your [Item]..

And in a 1/60 chance (~1.67% in percentages) to show this instead:

• A slime pup ran your pockets..

Slime Pups could steal the following items:

Public server items:

• Bat
• Bottle
• Knife

Eat

Slime Pups could eat food to restore HP, being able to do so every 10 seconds. However, eating a lemon or shaken cola would instead damage the Slime Pup (as well as fling and ragdoll the pup if a shaken cola was eaten). Eating a Strange Crystal would eventually transform the Slime Pup into a Rainbow Slime Pup.

Sleep

Slime Pups could sleep which contrary to popular belief, does not increase regeneration. However, it does lower their hitbox making them much harder to hit.

Variants

Golden

Golden Slime Pups have 600 HP. Upon death, Golden Slime Pups would drop 2.5k Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination to whoever landed the killing blow and turn the weapon that it was killed with into a golden version of it, as well as dropping up to 2 random golden weapons. If the player that killed the golden variant has done so for the first time, the player would recieve the Cruel Act badge. If the Golden leaves the game, a golden grave with 300 HP would spawn and function similar to them in order to get the rewards, but you could not use the Chainsaw to break the grave. The Golden itself won't be able to see or interact with the grave if they rejoin.

The Gold Pup Chance System is as follows:
(3 - # of rare variants) * 1.66

Diamond

Diamond Slime Pups have 900 HP. When hit, they drop credits that scale to the amount of damage dealt to them. They also drop 1,000 Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination to whoever landed the killing blow as and send out a flurry of more credits that other players could pick up, as well as a Diamond Crate. The amount of credits showered out scales to the amount of players in the server and each ticket worth 20 - 25 Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination. Upon leaving, they would still drop a Diamond Crate along with the standard flurry of credits.

The Credit Scaling System is as follows:
If <math>Player Amount</math> is less than 17 then the credit amount would instantly be 35.
Otherwise, it would be <math>(Player Amount * 3)</math> instead.

The Diamond Pup Chance System is as follows:
(3 - # of rare variants) * .5

These rare variants were unable to die by running into the forcefield in the spawn werea, getting crushed by the gates or by resetting. They were unable to restore their HP entirely under normal circumstance such as eating food or by regenerating HP over time. They also could not use the ride tool on any players. Any attempt of the rare variants using the command "!rejoin" would instead message the user in the chat: "[SERVER]: You could not escape."

Acquirement

There were 7 common Slime color variants and 3 rare variants.

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

Otherwise, lose all your health to the blue puddles in Crystal Caves, The color of it would change to red and white during Power Outages and Blackouts respectively.

Normal/Event

Normal Slime Pups were obtained 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 would result in you turning into a Red Slime Pup, with glowing, red, crystal spines along its back. During Blackouts, you would instead turn into a white Slime Pup with a ghostly, white, translucent body and a wispy tail.

Golden and Diamond

Golden Slime Pups have a 1/250 (0.4%) chance of being your color. The chance is lower when there were below 15 players in a server, at 1/750 [0.13%]. Getting this rare variant would reward you with the "A rare Variant" badge and the "Aureate" bat skin.

Diamond Slime Pups have a 1/500 (0.2%) chance of being your color. The chance is lower when there were below 15 players in a server, at 1/1500 [0.07%]. These variants were the rarest Gootraxians in the game.

Neither of these rare variants could be obtained during events.

Rainbow

You could become a Rainbow Slime Pup that shifts through multiple colors by eating a Strange Crystal from a Human's hand and waiting for around 20 seconds. You would get the Perficiendus Perfectum badge from this as well as the Rainbow Bat skin by feeding Slime Pups the Strange Crystal as a survivor.

Alternatively, they could be achieved in private servers by nicknaming yourself a certain name or by using the :rb, rb [player] command.

The Slime Pup is received the following message upon eating a Strange Crystal and waiting around 10 seconds:

• You feel very strange..

Bestiary Entry

A small, dog sized creature that is translucent, with a skull like mask on the front. They can vary in colors. These creatures are the first of the neutral species that have been created, and have been noted to follow humans and infected around, expecting food and pets. They're often childlike, but on rare occasions the aggressive biters are seen to grow in size, and eventually form into a Slime Hound. Slime Pups are often extremely curious, but lazy. They sleep around a lot, and will even sleep on your back if you let them. If one is bothering you, just give it a treat or something.
