Description[]
Hot Rash is a host with abilities suited for an all-rounder, having good defensive moves while boasting good offensive power. Upon reaching Phase 2 Light Beneath Closed Eyes with Hot Rash, the game shows his true name, Hot Trash.
Appearance[]
Hot Rash wears a gray shirt and darker gray pants. His face glows like other hosts, and he has a glowing sphere inside his chest. He wields a classic Roblox Linked Sword, which another is lodged in his head (the Roblox hat "Stage Prop").

Abilities[]
|
[M1] - Hot Gash |
| "Whoosh Clang" | |
| Slash forward with your sword, dealing 5 damage. Hot Rash's basic attack. Although quite slow, it deals high damage when upgraded enough. |
|
[M2] - Hot Slash |
| "Swish Swish Swish" | |
| Deal a triple slash with your blade, dealing 5 damage thrice and staggering. Recharges after 8 seconds. Another melee attack to its arsenal, it can be used to quickly chip health and also stacks with Hot Cash. |
|
[SHIFT] - Hot Flash |
| "Whew Fssh" | |
| Creates a forcefield that blocks damage against all incoming attacks for 0.5 seconds after a 0.5 sec windup. Recharges after 1 second. Hot Flash can be cast during an ability, including itself, to shield immediately with no windup. Successful parries reduce Hot Slash's cooldown by 2. |
|
[Q] - Hot Kalash |
| "Chk Chk Blam Blam Blam Blam Blam" | |
| Pull out two AK-47's and after a short windup, spray bullets with spread in quick succession from each gun and dealing 2 damage every 0.15 seconds for 3 seconds. Recharges after 12 seconds. The only ranged attack, using this attack up close increases the chances of bullets hitting. The damage can also reliably wound enemies. |

Tips and Tricks[]
WIP
Trivia[]
- While he does stay true to the rule of 7 letters, due to having a space in his name, Hot Rash is the only Host in the game with an 8-character long name.
- Hot Rash's Chromashift changes the colors of the neon in his face and chest, his two swords, his gun, the shield, and also slightly changes the shirt color.
- The color of Hot Rash's sword and the effects he emits (via sword slash and shielding) are the complementary colors to the neon on his body, making him the only host whose attack effects do not match the selected color when Chromashift is applied.
- Half Horse's Life Steal ability can deal damage even when Hot Flash is active.
- Using Hot Rash's Hot Flash and Sand during Phase 1 in Light Beneath Closed Eyes is one of the easiest ways to get Hint since Resident Mind drops his piano where the player was 0.75 seconds ago.
- Hot Rash's AK-47s are the only items in the game to have a "Roblox Texture" set onto individual meshes.
- This results in effects that change the material or color of the guns like Mood don't work as intended, since the textures override any of it.
- Hot Rash appears as a tower in the game Critical Tower Defense.
- He can be obtained by clicking the metal bar below the server timer 20 times every time the server timer updates.
- The tower very much functions closely to Hot Rash. It has stun immunity by using Hot Flash when it reaches a certain level, uses Hot Slash once it reaches a certain level, has Hot Kalash once it reaches a certain level, and obtains upgrades of Hot Cash (and of course the variants) from levels 5-9.
- The only difference is that Hot Rash gains an exclusive ability at max that enchants his sword, so that it deals 2,000 damage over 25 seconds.
- More information can be found here.
- Hot Rash's upgrade names only feature consonants.
- Unsurprisingly, out of the 5 vowels, only the letters A, I, and Y can be found in the "Hot Cash" upgrade choice.
- Prior to April 20th, 2022, Hot Kalash only used 1 AK-47. This single gun fired slightly faster and was significantly more accurate than the current dual-wielding of two, but of course only could deal half as much damage.
- Since his description stated that 'he got tired of being a normal enemy', it could be possible that any enemy in the game could be playable hosts if they wanted to.
- Hot Kalash is named after the AK-47's unabbreviated name, the Avtomat Kalashnikova.
- Playing on Endless Timeless, you will eventually see an upgrade named "Cold Treasure" whose description states "We will not become stronger." Not only that, the icon for the upgrade is Hot Rash's upgrade icon but inverted.
- The name of the upgrade is likely an antonym of "Hot Cash", the upgrade shown in Hot Rash's character description in the menu.
