Overview
In gameplay, Laser Grabbers are only encountered in Silent Forest Zone 3, where they are usually found in groups. Here, they are slowly crawling forward in tubular routes or ceilings until the player approaches. When this happens, Badniks will leap upwards/downwards, while creating laser beam lines to interapt the player's progress. These laser beam lines will keep moving forward and damage Sonic, if he gets touched by them.

However while performing this attack, Laser Grabbers will land on their back to the upper/lower part of the tubular route and become vulrunable to attacks. The player can use Spin Jump or Focused Homing Attack to defeat them easily.

Trivia
