Biography

Simply put, a Mook that flies, floats, or hovers, due to either having wings, a propulsion system, or supernatural powers. They like to stay out of the player's reach, and will attack from their advantageous position. Furthermore, due to their freedom in the air, they tend to dodge rather well. Because of this, they are often used as Goddamned Bats, relatively weak enemies that use their speed and agility to harass the player until they go down, especially in games where your character has Denial of Diagonal Attack or takes Knockback (see Ledge Bats for this case). Can be a type of Kung Fu-Proof Mook if they're especially hard to hit normally. These guys usually tend to do one of the following: Try to knock the player back via Collision Damage or dive-bomb into them. Stay out of the player's reach and shoot them or drop bombs (or other Mooks) from above. Airborne Mooks in platform games, usually those that try to knock the player over, are considered a huge annoyance, especially if they're the kind whose sole purpose is to knock the player into a Bottomless Pit. However, if you can Goomba Springboard off of them they can be used to cross Bottomless Pits. Airborne Mooks in FPS or action games may be smart enough to strafe around the player, making them harder to hit. Other than that, they use the same strategies above. RPG games will tend to have these guys as high-speed and with low hit points. They'll usually be a pain in the ass to hit, but easy to take out. In the case where they do have high Hit Points and a high evade rate (and maybe some very damaging attacks), you're fighting a Demonic Spider. If these things appear in a Tower Defence game (especially those where you have to divert the mooks' path), they'll usually have the ability to take a short cut and fly over your towers to their goal. Certain types of towers will not work on them either. Your best bet against an Airborne Mook is, obviously, to use an Anti-Air attack against them, as they'll usually be weak to it or are unable to avoid it. If such attacks are not available, then a ranged attack will do. In certain cases, it may also be possible to remove their wings with specific attacks, turning these mooks into ground-bound versions of themselves.
