Malware/Byte

Malware Bytes are a small and weak variant of Malware.

Canonically, they are capable of zapping enemies via an electric laser pulse that comes out of them. Their zaps don't hurt too much, but their enemies must be wary, as their little zaps can add up over time to make big damage.

More Facts

 * Malware Bytes were initially added to the Battle Zone sometime in March 2018. Upon initially being added, they could jump and sometimes their automatic zapping mechanic would stop working after a while, but these two things were corrected shortly afterwards. After several months of functioning as intended, they (and Virus Bytes) were removed on September 7, 2018 due to their zapping code becoming buggy. Program Bytes and Firewall Scouts were also removed a bit afterwards. After the removal of Bytes in the Battle Zone, Malware Bytes were added back to the Test Version on May 2, 2020. Then, they were added back to the Battle Zone on May 17, 2020.
 * Originally, when Malware Bytes were in the Battle Zone back in 2018 before their temporary removal, their lasers did 8 damage and were fired every .625 seconds. They had 75 health.
