Thorax (Funbox)

Colorful Bug

## Description

**Thorax** is a male changeling that appears as a side-protagonist character in *MLP:FiM*. His first appearance was in the episode of the season 6, *"The Times They Are A Changeling"*, where he meets *Spike* in an icy area, and explains that, unlike the other changelings, he wants to make friends, having desired so ever since he saw the *mane 6* fight off the evil changelings during the royal wedding in *Canterlot*, but at the same time he's very hungry, and to calm his hunger he needs love, but then discovers, thanks to *Spike*, that there's another way to feed apart from stealing love from others. In season 6 finale, *"To Where and Back Again - Part 1 and 2"*, Thorax teams up with *Starlight*, *Trixie* and *Discord* to rescue *Twilight* and her friends from *Chrysalis*, and defeat her once and for all; but apart from achieving it in the Part 2, Thorax feeds on friendship, changing his form completely, and decides to share it with the rest of his fellow changelings, so that everyone changes too, so that Thorax became ***the new leader of the changelings***. In his changeling version, it has a dark skin tone with holes and blue eyes, but as "*reformed changeling*", his appearance changes drastically to a more lively and colored one. Thorax is kind, considerate, curious and a bit worried, even more about his new role as leader, sometimes panicking, but thanks to what friendship taught him, he shouldn't be scared or worried about it.

*After Thorax had become the new leader of the changelings, he had to start making peace with several clans and races after what Chrysalis did. Today it was up to the mercenaries, who declared war on the changelings. Despite having a new leader with a different ideology, they are still willing to kill. **It seems that Thorax didn't take it very well seeing that his form changed again, but not in a good way...***

## Abilities

Thorax's main mobility tool is **Super Jump**.

* Activation: **Secondary Attack** (Mouse2)
* Cooldown: 5s

Thorax has access to **Weighdown**.

**Main Rage** costs 100% rage. It is activated by the **Medic Call** key (E by default).

**DNA Gun** - Thorax receives a Diamondback with 6 shots (1/5) that are 100% accurate, but do 75% less damage and fire tracer rounds. When he hits a player, they will be selected as a transformation target. This applies to melee attacks too, as long as the DNA Gun has ammo.
**Transformation** - Once Thorax has a target selected, the player can press **Reload** key (R by default) to transform Thorax into their target, copying their class, loadout, model and name, while also gaining 2 seconds of invulnerability. During the transformation, Thorax's weapons are minicrit boosted. The transformation lasts 40 seconds, but will end early if Thorax takes too much damage.
The health formula for the "disguise" is the following:
`[Disguise HP = Target Max HP + Target Max HP * Players Alive]`
While transformed, Thorax does not lose any health when taking damage, only the disguise HP drops.
Using Main Rage while transformed will refresh the health of Thorax's disguise, but not its duration.
Transforming removes the DNA gun from Thorax's loadout.
Thorax don't take any self-damage or fall-damage while transformed.
Thorax can pick up ammo packs to replenish his ammo while transformed.
Thorax can't get additional ammo for the DNA gun by running over ammo packs.
**Spellblock** - Activating the Rage prevents enemies from casting spells for 9 seconds.
This rage stuns sentries within 1024HU range for 12 seconds.
Thorax needs to receive 3000 damage in order to get from 0% rage to 100% rage.
