Cannonater

The Cannonater is an enemy in the upcoming game Darkspore that appears in the first stage of Zelem's Nexus.It fires a slow moving projectile of quantum energy from a ranged distance.It will then close in and attack you with it's melee weapon, witch is similar to the bladed knuckles in Spore Galactic Adventures. I found Sage particularily effective, as he can fire at the Cannonaters from range and his Dendrones will close in for a melee onslaut, while protecting Sage from the quantum projectiles.
