Enemy Design: Crawler Turret

The Crawler Turret is a spindly-legged little clockwork robot with a gun sticking out of its back. They will be fairly common enemies throughout the game.



The basic model has four legs and really just kind of scurries around at about knee-to-waist height looking for something to shoot with its fairly low-powered guns. They're pretty much mindless drones that aren't very well-equipped to handle anything that can actually fight back.
The idea is for this to be an enemy type, of which variations are encountered as the player explores different environments. For example, in forest areas, the turrets will be more shelled and spider-like. They'll be slightly tougher to crack, but fire their weapons more slowly.

Whereas the Industrial Turret is more likely to be encountered in a factory with heavier security measures in place. These guys are mounted on treads, deal heavy damage, but have a more limited angle for their guns to turn, and have a brief cooldown after firing.
