Malicious

Malicious is one of the Dataverse's Malware leaders. He is a default-type Malware anthro.

He's a highly-respected Malware, and he first rose to power by murdering a Malware king (whose name is currently unknown) who he did not serve (thus meaning that no betrayal was done).

Afterwards, he went on to kill two Motherboards and absorbed their essence, causing him to become his current, even more buff form.

Appearance
Malicious appears to resemble an Anthro Malware. Malicious is blue with a muscular, tall and strong appearance and build. He wears a futuristic-like outfit with square shoulder-pads and lengthy blue gloves that have thin, diagonal lines. Malicious has 3 square-shaped pads on each side of his chest with a tall, isosceles trapezium-shaped screen which shows a blue symbol similar to the Jolly roger with two bones in a X-Shape beneath it. Malicious also wears knee-length boots with multiple, thin straight lines.

Weapons/Abilities
Malicious has the ability to shapeshift his hands. He can turn his hands into almost any melee weapon he wants, but he is limited to a maximum size that he can shapeshift his hands into (but they can get pretty big and menacing). He has intense combat skills, and can be real feisty in combat even if he doesn't shapeshift his hands.

According to DeliverCreations, if Malicious were to wield an actual weapon that wasn't his hands or something, he'd "most likely use a Warhammer".

Malicious also has the ability to transform into a more powerful form. However, unlike Vyrus' more powerful form, Malicious' more powerful form is NOT his main form. His main form's the "basic" form. Also, Malicious' more powerful form requires an intense amount of power for him to turn into it.

He also has a third form, the mini form, which is the form that all Anthros downgrade to when severely crippled in combat. In order for him to ascend back into his true anthro form, he must regain full power.

Malicious also has the ability to clone himself, however, as Malicious clones himself, it drains some of his energy, and he can also feel the clones' pain if they get damaged.

Also, his circuit veins make him somewhat connected to the computer, allowing him to travel more quickly than he'd be able to without them and infect Programs.

More Lore
Malicious freed Vyrus from a Motherboard's Jail at some point. He has been relatively passive towards Vyrus ever since, however, if it ever came down to it, he would kill her for dominance, and she would do the same thing to him.
