"He got tired of being a normal enemy."
Hot Rash is one of the fifteen Hosts featured in HOURS. He can be obtained by clicking/tapping an invisible button on the bottom left corner of the second tempo selection page.
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 glowing sphere inside his chest. He wields a classic Roblox Linked Sword, which another lodged in his head (The Roblox hat "Stage Prop").
Playstyle[]
Since there are no other upgrade paths, Hot Rash's playstyle is always just about the same as his namesake enemy: parrying obnoxiously in tandem with other attacks. Hot Rash has two melee moves, Hot Flash and Hot Slash, while Hot Flash can block attacks, being incredibly useful when trying to avoid damage. Hot Flash's final attack, Hot Kalash, allows Hot Rash to gun enemies down from a distance, and enough to dent enemies' performace.
Hot Rash has one upgrade choice, Hot Cash and variations. This allows Hot Rash to get stronger the more you progress, but does not add any additional perks along with it.

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 do not turn black while Mood is in effect, unlike everything else about your host
- 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
- Among his upgrade names, the only letters not represented are E, I, O and U
- 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 is possible that any enemy in the game can also be playable hosts if they wanted to.
- Hot Kalash is named after the AK-47's unabbreviated name, 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.
