Dr.K (K博士 K bó shì) is the main antagonist of Changed. He used to be originally a human scientist from before the events of the game take place, whom intentionally transfurred himself using their own drug that would allow its user to retain their memories and free will during The Riot. He relentlessly tries to contain the human multiple times, who he believe that doing so might stop the human from carrying the virus, to the outside world.

Personality

Dr. K is originally a bioengineer scientist, and as such, he gives off a cold and calculated behaviour - which is especially noticeable in the Special Edition where he completely disregard Puro's and Colin's attempts to leave and interfering with him maintaining the probable safety of the remaining human population.

He displays deep concern for the survival of humanity, despite of himself no longer being human, which he mention several times. They are committed to keep the protagonist in the Thunder Science facility to prevent the virus from spreading again.

Appearance

Male

As a male, Dr. K is a white wolf with red eyes. He wears a gas mask, and his only article of clothing is an oversized white lab coat. His pointy ears always being seen drooping down.

Female

As a female, Dr. K mostly has the same base appearance, except she has hair-long fur heavily resembling hair. Her gas mask has more detail, and the oversized trench coat has been replaced with her laboratory coat styled to look like a dress, and she lacks the tuft of fur on her chest.

Background

Right from the beginning of the game, Dr.K constantly monitors the protagonist & berates him to stay at the lab to get transfurred, contacting him via monitor or speaker. He also sometimes takes pictures of Colin & Puro together, which is obvious in Special Edition.

He made his first appearance at the Secret Door and soon after, releases sleeping gas which tranquilizes the protagonist. He plays an earlier role in the Special Edition, in which he sometimes leave out tapes and send broadcasts that can be listened to, which is how Puro knows Colin's existance in the first place.

In this remake of the game, K refers to Puro with names that are a bit more insulting than "failed sample", such as "blackberry jam". They also activate devices around the facility to try and stop the protagonist from proceeding, though, they successfully and repeatedly foil these obstructions.

Trivia

• Despite his antagonistic behavior, K believes that he are just trying to do what is right, which is protecting humanity.
  • It's implied in-game that the protagonist may carry the virus, and K's intention is to keeping it inside the facility, meaning that he is more of an anti-hero instead of a villain.
• DragonSnow confirmed that K wears a mask solely to suppress their newly acquired powerful sense of smell after they had undergone the transfur.
  • This was also mentioned in-game in the generator room at the Aquatic Area, if the protagonist finds a hidden 5th lab report in Special Edition.
• DragonSnow confirmed on Twitter that K is a wolf.
• Starting from the Chinese June 30th Patreon build, K has a 1/1000 chance to be female upon starting a new game.^{[citation needed]}
