Night Shade

"Your eyes feel pretty weird...”

Template:Gootraxian Night Shade is a wolf Gootraxian. They are the Blackout variant of Shade.

They have grey fur with a light grey neck fluff, underbelly, paws, and ear tufts that wears purple shutter shades. There is also small purple markings along its arms and legs, similar to its bright purple eyes.

Like Jammer, they are similar in appearance to Shade and Fed, but they have purple markings instead of green stripes that glow purple when a Blackout is active. Their markings are also thicker and shorter length-wise in comparison to Shade.

Abilities

Increased Health (Passive)

Night Shade has slightly increased health from other Gootraxians, at 110 HP.

Shutter Shade Drop (Death)

Like its counterparts, Night Shades drop their shutter shades upon death, which removes the glowing effect until a survivor walks on it. This can surprise any unsuspecting players who happen to walk on it and become infected. However, humans wearing a Hazmat Suit cannot pick up the shutter shades, saving them from the infection.

Acquirement

Night Shade can be acquired by walking over or obtaining purple shutter shades during Blackouts, or infection by another Night Shade Gootraxian, although you won't have the shutter shades. It takes about 20 seconds to be infected after putting on the shutter shades.

When wearing the shutter shades, the following text will pop up:

• "Your eyes feel pretty weird..."
• "Goofy.."

Trivia

• When a Gootraxian knocks the shutter shades off your head, the text "The silly glasses were knocked off your head!" would pop up.
• THE Night Shade's low HP face was modified on V3.1.
• The music that used to play on VIP Night Shade's boombox was Aging, composed by Fishcracks.
  • As of now, the track has been removed and replaced with JAMS VIP due to pressure from the community to upload Aging as an official track, and the composer disliking the music as a whole.
• Contrary to popular belief, it is possible to get a VIP Night Shade from dropped shutter shades, even if its from another VIP, and outside of Blackouts. They all remain at the same chance of 1/30.
• The removed Stare tool is a reference to The Rock's Eyebrow Raise (LOUD WARNING) meme.
• While performing certain emotes while having the Boombox, Night Shade will play a muffled version of a pre-existing song for that emote:
  • Doing the Smug emote plays "Transit" by Fishcracks.
  • Doing the California emote plays an 8-bit remix of the song "California Gurls" by Fishcracks.
• If you use the Overseer machete skin and kill a Night Shade that has sunglasses on, the sunglasses will turn invisible, making it act like an invisible "landmine".
  • This applies to other Gootraxians that also drop a transmogrifying item after death.
  • This also happens with the "Batsaber" and "Overseen" bat skins.
• Oddly, this is one of the Gootraxians to lack a Bestiary description.
• Night Shade has an unique idle animation, being the same as Shade

Bugs

• There was a minor bug in which Night Shade's death face did not show upon dying, instead showing its low HP face.
  • This bug also occurred with Fed, Jammer, and Shade.
• Similarly to the VIP Jammer animation bug, users were able to replicate VIP Night Shade's Boombox animation by typing the command /e shadejamming into the chat.
• Moving while doing the Smug emote, will cause the Boombox notes to still appear.
• There is a bug that quickly lessens the stare cooldown by equipping grab then equipping stare once more.
• An existing bug allows players to obtain the shutter shades without a Blackout active. When a survivor wearing a pair of Shade glasses is hit with "Attack", the shades are knocked off and transformed into Night Shade's shutter shades.
