AcidPool

Acidpools are a species of corruption based on viruses that affect Microsoft DOS computers. They were created by YouTube channel acount134 in 2011 and given to malware sampler danooct1 to publicly showcase on YouTube. No samples of the virus are known to exist outside of these channels, and therefore preventing a non-educational infection from ever happening.



Once an Acidpool enters a computer, it will infect the first .COM files it sees and lie dormant until the same programs are activated on a Tuesday. If this happens, the virus will clear the screen and print "CHICKITY-CHECK YO SELF BEFORE YOU WRECK YO SELF!" until the user presses any key on their keyboard. Doing so removes the text and creates a psychedelic ripple effect on the screen, until the computer is shut down or restarted.

Due the only samples being within the hands of acount134 and danooct1, Acidpools as a species may remain largely unknown to the world until the end of time.

Role in Battle
Within the DBTK battlefield, Acidpools are no longer bound under a pair of computer experts and are free to slaughter enemy corruptions as they please. Similarly to Reapers, these corruptions wield a deadly scythe capable of dealing high damage with every swing. Additionally, the acid within their head can be spilled willingly and create a large, bubbling puddle that burns any foe making contact. Anything that has already taken damage from the pool will be momentarily poisoned as if they were struck by a Scorpion.

Trivia

 * Ingame, Acidpools cannot jump even if they're not classified as a heavy character. A possible explanation to this could be their will to conserve their acid, and not spill unintentionally it by jumping. However, the character can still use boosters and jump pads.
