==Trivia==
* uglyburger0 planned that another gradient nextbot would be added. However, it didn't make through the Outbreak update being named the "pleasant gradient". 620px
* The mindset behind the nextbot is somewhat unique; its looks are unpleasant. However, its audio is made to be unpleasant to give the unpleasant feeling of the nextbot.
* Charcoal#0079, a Nico's Stu member, suggested the idea of unpleasant gradient in the #nextbots-suggestions channel on April 5th, 2023; originally, the proximity audio would've been some brown or pink music, the jumpscare audio would've been shower noises, and it would've spawned in arcade. It also had an ability where it would start off slow (12 speed), but the more it killed, the more speed it would gain, eventually maxing out at 28 speed. However, it would lose 2 points of speed whenever it wasn't killing anyone for a while. The member is now no longer in the Discord server.
** When it got implemented into the game, the proximity and jumpscare audios were changed, the spawn location was changed to spawn in nn_port, and the ability wasn't implemented there.
