• Likes: Stealing items, attacking humans, bonding with fellow Raytraxians

• Dislikes: Humans, being attacked, feeling vulnerable

---

Behavior and Habits:

• Skills: Hazzy can don a Hazmat Suit, expands its inventory capacity, granting access to most naturally spawning weapons and items scattered across the map. After the Raytrax wearing it has taken 90 damage by any means, the Hazzy drops the item they have equipped onto the floor, available to be picked up by any player that is able to equip it. However, Hazzy's hazmat regenerates slowly over time at ~1 durability per second. Upon wearing the Hazmat suit as a Hazzy, the text "You feel stronger with this thing on.." pops up, being slightly different than its human counterpart message upon wearing the suit.

The game grants the player various messages when successfully to equip items, those being:

• "I am barely able to pick it up."
• "I can get a firm grip on it"
• "I won't let them have this"
• "It's mine now."
• "I can pick it up. It's a little hefty though."
• "I can pick it up with ease. It is lighter than I thought."
• "Feels natural."
• "I can do a lot more with this."
• "I need this."
• "It's a little unwieldy but it will do."
• "I can use this. Fits like a glove. In the glove. Yeah."
• "Feels familiar."
• "I can't let anyone else have this."
• "It's mine. They can try to take it."

The game also grants messages when not being able to equip items, those being:

• "I can't carry that much." (When attempting to equip an item while the player already has one)

• "That's useless." (When attempting to equip an item that the player is not allowed to hold)

Hazzy is able to equip the following items:

• Axe
• Bat
• Bottle
• Brick
• Crystalized Bats
• Crowbar
• Machete
• Long Pipe
• Katana
• Sledge Hammer
• Knife
• Nunchucks
• Taser
• Bloxy Cola

Hazzy can be obtained by being converted by a Raytraxian while wearing a Hazmat Suit, dying to a non-instant-conversion hazard while wearing a Hazmat Suit or by getting converted by another Hazzy Raytraxian.

When a player is converted while wearing a Hazmat Suit, the dialogue "The hazmat suit exploded.." will appear.

• Habits: Sharpening weapons with their claws, stealing from humans

Backstory:

The result of a patchwork of splices between an innumerable amount of species, the genetic makeup of the strain is best described as a cesspool. Compared to many other specimen, Hazzy possess a finer degree of motor manipulative skills due to their unusually long, articulate digits. Although their unstable makeup has resulted in genetic deformities present in nearly all strains of the mutation, and consequently many of the advantages offered by their greater degree of manipulation come short due to poor muscular strength, tremors, or other physical inhabitations. Shrewd and observant, these specimen can often be found skulking, passively stalking others and only approaching when they deem their query to be a non-threat. It's here that they exhibit surprisingly social behaviour, capable of understanding subtle cues across many species and often attempting to imitate their behaviours. Notable examples include collaborating with a Toxic Rabbit to create a crude replica of one of their designs, donning a bucket in an attempt of solidarity with a Catte, and tending to the garden with crude tools under the supervision of an Azarue. While their propensity to learn has been a cause of great interest, it is their interactions with humans where this curiosity draws concern. Subjects have demonstrated a greater behavioral flexibility when interacting with personnel, imitating appearances by donning spare clothing or improperly discarded equipment, which has most notably seen them compensate for their lackluster grip strength with gloves, finding considerable purchase in leveraging larger tolls to their advantage. In many early cases, personnel found this behaviour to be endearing and further encouraged or provoked further adaptations. Examples include teaching a subject to use a can opener, guiding another to use an electric screwdriver to open a wooden shipping crate, or accidentally demonstrating the operation of a electronic remove, which the subject successfully used to repeatedly flicker the lights of a room for their own entertainment. These small, but clear violations of conduct and irresponsible handling of these specimen culminated in an incident in which a security officer had demonstrated the use of a firearm and two-way radio in a prior incident, where in they removed an aggressive subject in an unprofessional manner. Driven by what we presume to be retribution, a Hazzy stalked the Officer over the course of a week, and on ███/███/██████ input the correct combination on an electronic keypad at 0649 to leave their enclosure, ambushed the security officer as he began his shift, and successfully incapacitated him with an improvised weapon. It proceeded to utilize his radio to broadcast the same code he had that day, before terminating him with his issued firearm. A responding security detail found the subject disorientated from concussive force of the weapon and unable to operate the firearm further due to technical failures and lack of understanding of its operation. It is because of this incident we place a great concern in the potential of these species, as they present a clear capability to replicate the operations of complex mechanical equipment or electronic devices if given instruction or demonstration, and effectively utilize industrial-grade tools if given the right equipment. When introduced to more capable tools, subjects consistently exhibit possessive and opportunistic behaviours, and attempts to disarm them past this point yield aggressive responses. In rare cases, specimen have even been observed to overcome their genetic weakness through extensive physical activity, often becoming attached to a favoured tool and abandoning their typical caution for an emboldened confidence. Combined with their cooperative nature with other species, there is a potential that they can incite further disorder on a larger scale. These specimen represent an exponential danger when introduced to external influences; Under no circumstances should they be allowed to access or use of industrial-grade tools, given demonstration of the operation of devices, and extensive care should be taken to ensure equipment is properly stored or discarded. Employees are advised to exploit their cooperative and curious nature by misleading them and engaging them with simpler forms of enrichment.
