Enemy Specs
Production Type: Mass-produced
Primary Use: Security
Profile 1: Capable of flight with levitation wings, but the flight distance is limited due to the simplistic design. Nonetheless, one should never underestimate its explosive speed in immediate combat.
Profile 2: When inactive, it uses its claws to stabilize itself on the ground. After being corrupted, the claws have become a weapon.
Story 1: An aerial monitor created by Cosmos Industries to patrol designated routes. Much more agile than the ground monitoring robots.

Notes and Advice
Similarly to the Protector, the Aerial Monitor will frequently adjust its position depending on its intended action.
Its collision detection with relatively short-ranged melee attack types (such as the Basic Attacks of Watanabe: Nightblade or Nanami: Storm) meshes poorly with its recoil animation and will frequently prevent the player's attacks from fully connecting. Characters with long-ranged attacks, pull-type attacks, or approach-type actions are advised to combat this enemy.
