Nightcrawler

Trivia

• Nightcrawlers are one of the only few Gootraxians who can outright kill survivors.
  • In this case, they can do so by using their Pursue ability.Man s TIng
  • However, player-derived Nightcrawlers will have the standard abilities.
• The only weapons that can ragdoll Nightcrawlers during Blackouts are Bricks, Bottle and the Golden Bottle.
• If you use :tf me nightcrawler in private servers, you will transform into a goggle-less Nightcrawler.
  • This can be changed by including ;goggle=true on the initial command.
• Goggled Nightcrawlers have the highest health pool out of all Gootraxians, excluding Diamond Slime variants, with a total of 800 HP.
• Nightcrawler is the only Gootraxian so far to have appeared in the game's thumbnail despite having not been released for the time it appeared.
• They were heavily inspired by the Cloaker from the Payday franchise.
  • In previous versions of the game, using the command ;cloaker=true on par with Nightcrawler's :tf command in private servers gave the Nightcrawler Cloaker's voice lines.
  • Additionally, its festive outfit bears strong resemblances to the Cloaker's outfit.
• Nightcrawler's faces were slightly different when it was still unreleased.
• It is currently the only known Gootraxian to have more than one contributor create its concept.<ref>https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/858029724664463400/1001441391488020580/ooo_spooky_lizard.png Each contributor's contribution to Nightcrawler, March 3 2022.</ref>
  • ButteredPancakes made its initial design.
  • Mysticalesta created its concept art.
  • Kos assisted in its design.
  • Kazuko gave the idea of its species.
  • Chroma suggested its current name.
    • According to one of the contributors, its design is heavily inspired and based on Salazzle from the Pokémon franchise.
• Goggled Nightcrawlers are one of the only few Gootraxians whose Bestiary entry is unlocked right after infection, and is also one of few Gootraxians who have multiple ways of unlocking its Bestiary entry.
  • A Goggle-less Nightcrawler has to obtain a 10 infect streak in order to unlock its Bestiary entry.
  • Players can kill the Goggled Nightcrawler to unlock its Bestiary entry.
    • However, only the player that has landed the last hit on it will unlock the entry if they do not already have it.
• Despite Goggled Nightcrawlers being considered a mini boss, they still drop 30 credits upon death.
• Similarly to Jammer's Diversion tooltip being used as Feizao and Fashui's Slippery tooltip at one point, Nightcrawler's Pursue used to share the same tooltip as Protogen and Dark Protogen's Self Destruct.
• Hovering over the Nightcrawler's icon in the Bestiary repeatedly will play the Nightcrawler's Pursue sound effect, as well as cause its icon to violently shake.
• When a player picks up the goggles, the Blackout will extend by 50 seconds, and after transfuring, it will last an additional 550 seconds, adding up to 1300 seconds (21 minutes 40 seconds) as opposed to 750 seconds (12 minutes 30 seconds).
• Goggled Nightcrawlers were able to block Bottle while in a Blackout, attempting to hit Nightcrawlers with a Bottle would deal a pitiful 1 damage, yield the text "There's no effect..", and ragdoll the attacking player, dealing 30 damage in retaliation.

Bugs

• The Pummel was affected by the anti-cheat, causing it to usually miss the second/third attack due to the short cooldown, this has been fixed at the release of V3.1 Hallows Eve Event.
• Oddly enough, Pursue's ability to break doors also applies to locker doors. In the past, it would play the animation, but the door would still remain intact. This has since been changed to break the doors.
