Spike Drone is a common melee enemy of The Forges episode.

Appearance

Spike Drones represent a black rolling metal spike ball with lines all over it and a turquoise glow coming from inside of it, suggesting that it runs on the same energy The Forges harvest.

Behaviour

Angry hedgehog machines' primary target is to chase Champion down and run him over while Chamillionaire - Ridin' (ft. Krayzie Bone) is playing on the background.

Tactics

Another being that joins the collection of "The Most Annoying Enemies in Videogame History". They are fast, they deal continuous damage, they attack in groups and most of the time you will be ambushed by them in halls and hard-to-navigate rooms. Gladly, as their codex entry suggests, any weapon (except for SotAO, Voltride and Aeturnum) knocks them back, which opens space for escape to a safer ground, another attack or switch to a more convenient instrument.

Facts & trivia

• Spike Drones take 50% extra damage from Voltride.
• Their models were reused later for underwater traps in Secret (level).
• Spike Drones and Saw Drones were originally made by the Forgemaster as his experiments.
