Description
Destructor is the sixth boss encountered in Expert Mode, debuting on Wave 40. It also appears in Nightmare Mode and Ultra Nightmare Mode with it debuting on wave 35 and 30 for the latter.
He is a highly modified member of the Predator line of enemies created by Dr. Xenon, bearing a deadly array of weaponry as well as the ability to fly into the air for short periods during which he is untargetable; a far more potent version of the Jumper's Leap that compensates for his slow movement speed. Additionally, he has an extremely high amount of combined health and shield for his debut, which is further bolstered by several resistances.
Upon his defeat, his left arm and jaw will fall off as he falls to the ground.
Appearance
Destructor is reminiscent of the Predator, although significantly altered. He is an extremely large humanoid entirely clad in black plating fitted with several small red lights, with his joints and other smaller components being colored a light gray.
He bears a block-shaped head with a thick jaw as well as a circular glowing red eye in its center, which is separated into 4 quadrants. His chest meanwhile is embedded with a circular glowing red core at the top of the stomach region. Additionally, affixed on each of the sides is a large pod; the front of which bears a large door while the back is fitted with a yellow grill that acts as a thruster, which connects to his lower back via an orange wire and emits hot pink jets when active. Moreover, his lower arms bear a trio of claws, with an additional pair of claws mounted to their top sides. They are additionally hollow and horizontally split, with a pair of struts on either side connecting the halves. Lastly, he has lights on the lids of his chest-mounted pods, pauldrons, and calves, and additionally has yellow coloring on the bottom of his feet as well as the tips of their digits.
As for his weapons, he has a pair of double-barreled white laser cannons fitted with yellow accents, which are stowed within his pods. He also has a pair of smaller laser blasters housed within each of his lower arms.
Lastly, upon using Feigned Retreat, his head will tilt and his movement will become shakier while increasing his movement speed.
