Catte

"A bucket has suddenly been placed on top of you.."

Template:Gootraxian Catte (pronounced simply as Cat) is an orange feline Gootraxian that wears an orange bucket similar in coloring on its head. They have pure white eyes and light creamsicle underbellies, neck fur and inner ears. They usually have their left ear covered by their bucket hats.

Players infected by a Catte do not have a bucket on their head like those infected normally do, but they are able to pick up new orange buckets.

Abilities

Bucket Drop (Death)

When killed, the bucket from the Catte's head will drop to the ground, waiting to acquire a new host to transform.

Eject

They may eject the bucket they have on their own, but will take 25 HP damage in the process. The Catte is able to re-obtain their bucket by finding another one and stepping on it. The ejected bucket will despawn after a period of time if no one picks it up.

If a Catte with low health attempts to eject their bucket, the text "Your health is way too low.." will appear, preventing them from killing themselves via the ability.

Transformation (Blackout Only)

They can transform into a Buck during Blackouts if they obtain a black bucket. The orange bucket must be ejected to equip the black buckets, otherwise the buckets will disappear but you will not wear it.

Acquirement

Catte can be acquired by walking over an orange bucket from anywhere in the map or by being infected by another Catte Gootraxian, though you won't have the bucket upon infection. It takes about 23 seconds to be infected after putting on the orange bucket.

Trivia

Catte were the first kind of Gootraxian to have the ability of leaving behind a transmogrifying item after death, this item being its bucket.
- They were originally going to have traffic cones instead of buckets<ref>https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/510886407770734645/992367705745264650/unknown.png, https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/510886407770734645/992368161938747522/unknown.png Cone heads, April 12 2021.</ref>, but this was changed during their development due to similarities to a transfur from a different game.
If you use the Overseer machete skin and kill a Catte if they have a bucket, the bucket will turn invisible, making it act like an invisible "landmine".
- This applies to other Gootraxians that also drop a transmogrifying item after death.
Catte's redesign was released in V3.1<ref>https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/510886407770734645/992367950512271440/unknown.png Update log of Catte's redesign, September 13 2021.</ref>.
When a Catte turns into a Buck, its face will briefly change to its death face.
In the Experimental Build, there is a badge called Trick Shot that is obtained by ejecting its bucket and having it land straight up. If done correctly, the bucket drops a few credits, shoots out confetti and a text saying "PERFECT FLIP!" will appear above it.
- If the bucket lands on it's top instead of it's bottom, the confetti and badge will not appear, but the "PERFECT FLIP!" text will be replaced by either "SO CLOSE!" or "ALMOST THERE!"
- This feature has since been added to the main game in the V3.1 Late Winter Update, but you will not be rewarded with a badge upon landing the bucket.
They are the only Gootraxian that are able to turn into a different Gootraxian without dying.
- In this case, Catte turns into Buck.
