Nocturne High Praetorian

The Nocturne High Praetorian is an enemy that appeared in Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood. They are a unit of echidnas affiliated with the Nocturnus Clan, who were banished to the Twilight Cage. They first appear on Nocturne.

Description
The Nocturne High Praetorian, though rarely seen, are the highest elite soldier unit of the Nocturnus Clan. They have never been seen being defeated in battle (except perhaps by Sonic the Hedgehog and his friends) and, presumably, never leave the enemy alive. Only those who have managed to run from them, have lived to reveal the existence of the Nocturne High Praetorian.

The Nocturne High Praetorian have a energy cannon build into the right hand of their armor. In battle, their normal attack is shooting bullets of energy blasts from their hand cannon at their enemies.

Trivia

 * The word "Praetorian" derives from the Praetorian Guard, a group of elite officers who hold the occupation of guarding the Roman Emperors and Generals from 275 B.C. to the 4th Century.
