Protogen

Protogens are normally depicted as cyborgs, but in TFE and Kaiju Paradise they appear as a Gootraxian.

They are white-furred half-robotic anthropomorphic creatures that wear a blue visor on their heads. They emit a startup noise upon transformation, Windows error popup noises upon being hit, and Windows shutdown noises once killed.

Abilities

If their health is below 50% they gain a Self Destruct function, and when it is used they emit a beeping sound until they eventually explode, dealing 60 HP<ref>https://discord.com/channels/786788486887768135/821381992779218955/862658748077965352</ref> and damage all Human players in the near vicinity and turn them into Ghost Fox if the humans are low HP enough.

While self destruct is happening, their health will be set to a specific health and gain more resistance to damages. Their walk speed will also be set to the value of 20.<ref>Update log of Protogens' self-destruct buff https://discord.com/channels/786788486887768135/821381992779218955/886890408217546792</ref>

The health will drain if they are in water every 1.5 seconds<ref>https://discord.com/channels/786788486887768135/821381992779218955/891712600289730621</ref> due to electrocution.
