Behaviour and Tactics

Hovers about passively until engaged. To attack, they reveal a massive, drill-like stinger and charge at the Knight after a few seconds, somewhat tracking their movement. Once impacting the ground, they remain stuck for one second, becoming vulnerable to attacks. Simply dodge their charge and hit them while they are stuck before backing off and repeating the process.
