Raptor

Agile and shield-bearing, the Raptor prowls The Shatter and engages at range with a Plasma Cannon, boasting a surprising level of tactical acumen for a short guy hiding behind purple hexagons.

Overview
Between Infantry and Drudges in both scale and rank, the Raptor is a bipedal digitigrade construct equipped with a form of arm-mounted energy shield. Capable of weathering fire otherwise immediately lethal, formations of Raptors could stonewall an adversary and hit above their weight, literally speaking, while keeping pace - most of the time.

Raptors probably aren't used to keeping pace with wall-surfing jet-dashing island-sliding gunmen, however - and their shields aren't quite as advanced as the Doorguy's.

Not that you should underestimate the little guy, of course.

Trivia

 * The Raptor went through two design iterations, both by Krev.
 * They were first introduced in the Excessively Late Update (October 2020).
