Nextbots are simple chasing characters from player-made horror and sandbox games, where a single enemy relentlessly pursues the player through a map while music or a voice clip plays. Racon is one of many community-created nextbots shared and remixed across gaming videos, and its jumpscare is used as a quick shorthand for being caught. Because the clip is only about a second long, it fits easily into edits, reaction videos and livestream highlights, where creators want an instant scare without interrupting the pace of the footage.
