Malware

Malware are a malicious form of virus on the computer, in Databrawl, they are willing to kill anything in their path, including other Corruptions.

Malware are one of the main classes in Databrawl's Battle Zone.

In game, they share the exact same stats as Viruses. There are no differences. Canonically however, they lean more towards slow-attacking weapons with high damage. They also prioritize collecting Bits over Program Hearts (this does not mean that they ignore Program Hearts entirely, however), and prioritize looting and capturing places over complete destruction, unlike the Viruses. Due to this, they tend to capture more Programs than Viruses do, and have more Bits at their bases than Program Hearts. Also, like all Corruptions, Malware are capable of infecting Programs and other good software both when alive and when deceased.

Standard-class Malware Information
Standard Malware are, well, the standard class variant of Malware. They are the mascots of the Malware species. They have trapezoidal prism-shaped heads, trapezoidal prism-shaped bodies, and cube-shaped hands. Lorewise, overall they are rounded in skill. They also have upgraded variants (see "Ranks" section).

More Facts

 * In real-world terms, "malware" is short for "malicious software".
 * Malware have an army symbol, which looks like a blue "M" with an angry Malware eye in it.
 * There is a Restricted character called "Laughing Malware". It is a Standard-class, Standard-rank Malware. Upon first glance it appears normal, however, when a player presses a voiceline key (Z,X,C,V,B,N,M) while using it, it will play a laughing audio with Malware voice effects applied to it. This is the only voiceline it has. Its in-game description reads as follows: "bruh look at this duuuuude"
 * Originally, the Malware "shocked" facial expression used the eye for the "closed" expression both canonically and in-game. This was canonically changed on May 28, 2019, when DuncanDunclub posted a drawing of updated Corruption facial expressions. However, the "shocked" expression in-game was not changed to match the facial expression artwork until a while later.
