Terrax Taking Degen By Warlock Why?

So Terrax is supposed to be immune to power drain or burn when fighting metal champions yet he is taking degen from Warlock.
Am I missing something?

Terrax can't be power drain or burn by metal champs. But His own ability drains his power which can't be prevented.
Warlock puts degen whenever the power is drain on opponent when Awakened.
So no matter if terrax is power drain immune or power burn, but if other champ have secondary effect via power drain or power burn like warlock, it will occur as it's terrax himself who's doing that.
( Terrax power gets drain whenever he use special and goes in Rock field mode)
Terrax is a good champion now, but has a few unexpected interactions like this with certain opponents.
He's also got a unique weakness against Psylocke, where all she has to do is block/Dodge for a few seconds, and an Awakened Terrax will Passively Power Lock himself at the end of his Rock Field.
i mean these things really frustrate me ... how, if true, they insert these little ability loopholes.
if this is true, you guys need to update the description immediately @Kabam Miike
His immunity to power drain from metal champs doesn’t mean his own power drain function wouldn’t cause Warlocks sig to activate.
it would just probably be a good idea especially for anyone who takes a champion into a fight and the interactions aren't clearly stated. I fully expected him to be immune to power drain and burn as I'm sure quite a few others only to run into this instance where well he's immune except when he's fighting specific metal champs lol.
I just think Kabam would be served best to point out these loopholes because they are definitely not common nor something the everyday player would even expect. No one says "oh great he's immune to power burn but not against a champ or situation where he'd self inflict" ya know.
it should be added to the description just as a caution that's all. it never hurts to give the player more knowledge instead of asking them to simply figure out or stumble into these situations.
Been looking for Terrax fights online against Warlock and stumbled upon this footage from last year in which the degen is NOT happening. so this was not always the case ... so what changed?
Warlock’s sig clearly states when the opponent’s power drains they get degenerated. Not “when warlock drains their power”, it’s “when their power drains”
Terrax’ ability says he drains his own power.
It’s a pretty simple logical statement. When opponents have power drain they are degenned. Terrax has power drain so he gets degenned.
Terrax is immune to Warlock causing the power drain, but he’s not immune to power drain itself. So because the power drain is caused by something else (his abilities) warlock is able to trigger his degen because that triggers whenever power drain occurs.
Nothing is stopping him from power draining himself.
The power drain itself does not cause any damage. It's the sig of warlock that causes damage and it is a completely different effect that as far as I know no one is immune to.
There's thousands of interactions in game . Including them in champions kit is absolutely ridiculous and would exponentially increase the champions kit description.
I just honestly think this kind of small loophole could be more clearly explained. Especially when the instance of it is not always consistent as I pointed out above with Pep.
The only one being aggresive is you
Here’s why I’m bothered - look at a node like Bishop’s power actuator node in this EOP. If it’s a cheap way to access unavoidable damage in fight design, I don’t want it.
If this was an exception, I might consider otherwise, but this is not an exception. This is a case where the black letter text says it will happen, and someone thinks it shouldn't happen so the game should emphasize that what it says will happen will in fact happen. That's not something the game should ever do, because it turns the players into mindless zombies that need to be hand-held through the game.
