Puppet knights

Puppet Armour is an enemy in Graveyard Shift.

Appearance
Puppet Armour appears as armour with any legs. The armour has a piece to go on the body, one to go around the waist. The one that goes on the body has two large should pieces on each shoulder side, and between those is a mask. Attached to those shoulder pieces are two arms. The helmet and arms are held up by strings, like a puppet.

Game Information
Puppet Armour will drop from the top of the screen when encountered, and move with the screen. Puppet Armour fires Spike Balls at the player, and will always fire it at them unless the Puppet is killed. They will stay in one position and move with the screen, never moving farther ahead of the player. Due to being made of metal, and having no shootable weak spots, they are impervious to all shots from the Gun and Grenade.

This enemy is the only enemy which requires the player to think about how to kill it, as some players may think the enemy is indestructible due to not being able to be damaged by two weapons. However, due to the presence of string that holds the enemy up, the player can kill it with the Sword by cutting the strings. One slit of the strings will kill the Puppet.

Often times the Puppet Armour will come into play when the player does not yet have access to the Sword, and must constantly block its Projectiles until they reach the Sword in the level. They aren't encountered after the levels in the Castle.

Trivia

 * If a Puppet Knight is killed, and a Spike Ball it has fired still hasn't hit the player, the Spike Ball will fall backwards, then disappear.
