=== Appearance ===
cootie resembles a grayish-blue pillow, dotted with small yellow stars and swirls. The texture is almost similar to jeans, likely due to the design itself. The sheet itself has stitched linings on both sides and even across the corners. Its appearance changes depending on the direction from which it is being looked at and the rotation of the player's camera, giving it a 3D effect.

cootie currently emits no audio. Previously, it emitted a rapid, unintelligible squeaky voice. Its jumpscare audio sounds like a cat or horse screaming.

==Trivia== 
*In the official Nico’s Stu Discord Server, 1nicopatty stated that cootie is his favorite nextbot.In a video made by Whitt (a Garry's Mod YouTuber) where he collaborated with 1nicopatty, Nico stated that aheno is his favorite nextbot.620px
*When Safe Zones were first introduced, a pillow could be seen on a wall in the parking lot, hinting at Cootie’s future addition.
*On August 27th, 2022, 1nicopatty posted footage of an old game he created long before nico’s nextbots, which featured cootie. https://discord.com/channels/999812888195772457/1000999839313698936/1013140595163803668 
**This makes cootie one of the oldest nextbots in the game, as it appeared in a game developed in February 2022. However, it was revealed that the first 8-bit version of cootie was worked on in October 2021.
**The game in the footage is called sandbox2. https://www.roblox.com/games/8919623228/sandbox2 
*Some believed that cootie's jumpscare audio was a higher-pitched version of unknown’s jumpscare audio. However, this was proven false when the jumpscares were broken.
*cootie used to have a broken jumpscare when all the jumpscares became unique. Its image would shake on the player’s screen indefinitely, with no sound. However, this issue has been fixed.
**This may have been only a testing issue, as crabbo’s jumpscare was broken in the testing server but not in the base game.
*On August 8th, 2023, cootie’s proximity audio was deleted due to mass reports. The same action was taken for speed and dev_envmap.
* According to 1nicopatty, cootie does have a face; it is just hard to recognize.
