Brotkatzes are the Hyper Evolution of Braiomils, belonging in the Hyper Evolved tier. They are highly mobile, short ranged combatants with AOE attacks.
Spawning
Hyper Evolved from a Braiomil when she obtains at least 7 Evolution Points and her 10 minute Evolution timer expires. Once it does, she will Hyper Evolve into a Brotkatze.
Can be spawned by Challenge Watchers as a special mob during a Challenge Raid.
Can be spawned by Vigils during the third wave of a Vigil Raid.
Can be spawned by the Reinforcement System.
Unique Behavior
Brotkatzes are capable of performing AOE gas attacks. In order for a Brotkatze to perform her gas attack, her target needs to be within ~10.9 blocks. Once this is true, she can arm her gas attack; it takes 2 seconds to arm. Once a Brotkatze's gas attack has started, it will stay active for as long as the Brotkatze has that specific target within range. While active, all target-able entities within a ~25.8 block range of the performing Brotkatze will continually be inflicted with Wither I for 10 seconds, Weakness II for 15 seconds, Mycelium Infection II for 30 seconds, and Marker II for 2 minutes. These effects can be prevented by wearing a Gas Mask. An active gas attack is indicated by smoke particles billowing from a Brotkatze's mouth and the mouth of her unborn child.
While a Brotkatze has a target that is within 4 to ~6.9 blocks, she can perform large leaps towards her target. Additionally, Brotkatzes can also perform smaller pounces towards their targets when in close range. They can utilize this to leap across small gaps to reach targets.
When eaten by a Womb, the resulting Calamity will have the Localization Attribute (one additional level per applicable Mob eaten). This is in relation to the Womb Crafting System.
Used to obtain Rotten Blood Samples via Syringes.

Trivia
'Brotkatze' is German and means 'bread cat'. This is, of course, a joke, and the Discord server staff tricked the mod creator into naming it that without telling him what it meant.
The Brotkatze's model is named "the Zaza" in BlockBench.
The reference image used to model the Brotkatze was originally meant to be for the Ogre, but it was accidentally used for the Brotkatze due to a miscommunication.
