Nightcrawler
Nightcrawler is a Blackout-exclusive Gootraxian in Kaiju Paradise.
It is reptilian like, being mostly grey colored with black leaf-like or scar-like patterns on its ears and limbs. It has unique purple patterns on the front of its torso and the bottom of its tail. It has a 3-lens night vision goggles, and adorned with a waist belt of satchels and a blowtorch along with a pair of gloves.
Abilities
Unlike any other Gootraxian seen in the game, it has two unique moves: Pummel and Pursue.
Pummel works similar to a katana, it is a 'combo-like' type of ability, allowing Nightcrawlers to attack Humans 3 times, with the last attack having a slightly long cooldown. In Blackouts, it is able to dash the Nightcrawler forward a little.
Pursue causes the player to slam their fists onto the ground, blowing away nearby Humans a few studs away. Then, the Nightcrawler starts running where the camera is facing at. You cannot control its movements in this state, and can only move your camera around to guide it. If it collides against a Human, it will damage them a little, and knockback ragdoll them. This ragdolled human will act as a projectile and damage anyone that got hit by it.
At the end of the pursue, the closest human in a certain radius from the nightcrawler is grabbed, and punched away, dealing heavy amounts of damage and ragdolling the human. If a human dies to the Pursue, they will not be turned into a Nightcrawler, rather dying on the spot.
It has a passive, where at low health, it will stomp on the ground and cause nearby players to blow away a few studs. It deals little damage.
During Blackouts, fireaxes and bottles will be blocked, causing it to do minimal damage and not ragdoll the Nightcrawler.
Goggled Nightcrawlers have a huge health pool of 800 HP, but cannot regen naturally.
Goggle-less Nightcrawlers do not have their unique abilities and instead have 100 HP along with the standard Gootraxian abilities (grab & attack). However, they still have the stomping passive ability.
Acquirement
Nightcrawler can be obtained by finding a pair of goggles around the map.
The goggles can only spawn randomly around the map during Blackouts, next to or nearby weapon and item spawns with a 60% chance in public servers and guaranteed in private servers.
You can also obtain it by being infected by another Nightcrawler Gootraxian, but you will not have the googles.
