Guardian Skywatcher

are enemies in.

Characteristics
Guardian Skywatchers are a flying type of Guardian. They scan their environment with a red searchlight and will begin charging their laser upon locating Link. Many Guardian Skywatchers patrol around Hyrule Castle. Link must use aerial tactics to defeat them, either by getting close with the Paraglider or shooting Arrows. They fly with the use of propellers, which can be damaged to take them down. Sometimes when firing their lasers, they will fire in rapid succession if their health is low enough and link has not moved too far from when they fired their last laser. These rapid lasers will stop if link gets hit too far from their last firing point, if link is no longer within their range, or at a random stopping point. If BotW: hits a Guardian Skywatcher in it's eye using a bow, it will temporarily stun it. Sometimes when doing this, the Guardian Skywatcher will retract it's head in order to mess up link's aim. If Link is aiming at it's eye while it has already retracted, it's head will extend.. Using Stasis + on a charging up Guardian Skywatcher will stun them afterwards, even if not hit during stasis. In Master Mode, Guardian Skywatchers will sometimes take slightly longer in their charge up phase before firing their laser to throw off link's timing.
