Promethean Watcher: Difference between revisions

Watchers typically accompany mechanical Promethean ground units, and can be deployed from the armored carapace of their [[Promethean Knight]] commanders, assisting them with aerial combat screening and often forcing opponents to engage the Sentinel first. The Watcher is capable of healing and augmenting damaged allies, providing them with [[Z-90 Photonic Coalescence Emitter/Aegis|hard light shields]], and can catch and return enemy ordnance, such as [[grenade]]s, with a [[Anti-gravity technology|gravity-displacement field]].<ref name="H4 Characters"/> They are also capable of summoning [[Promethean Crawler]]s to the battlefield by conjuring the Crawlers' forms from raw material in the ground.<ref>[http://halo.xbox.com/blogs/Headlines/post/2012/06/20/The-Halo-Bulletin-62012.aspx '''Halo Waypoint:''' ''The Halo Bulletin: 6.20.12'']</ref> They are armed with a built-in [[Z-110 Directed Energy Pistol|Boltshot]].<ref name="demo"/><ref name="gi"/> The Watchers also can resurrect Knights killed in combat.<ref name="Return">'''[[Making Halo 4: Return of the Forerunners]]'''</ref> Watchers are also capable of building turrets.<ref>'''Halo 4''', ''[[Infinity (Halo 4 level)|Infinity]]''</ref>

 

Unlike the angular, blue-lit appearance of most Sentinels, Watchers have curving carapaces with orange lights. They have a number of appendages, including what appear to be legs hanging below the midsection and two large disks on both sides. Most of these segments lack physical joints and are held together by energy fields. Above the midsection there appears to be a head with stylized facial features.
