The Combat Hover Pod[1] is an enemy that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is an anthropomorphic bird foot soldier in the Battle Kukku Empire who pilots a mechanical hovering pod.
Appearance[]
The Combat Hover Pods resemble Rock Throwing Combatants piloting small gray hover pods. These pods have brown bottoms, two jets on their sides, and an orange barrel each on their fronts.
Overview[]
In Tails Adventure, Combat Hover Pods appear as enemies. They are encountered in Poloy Forest and Caron Forest.
In gameplay, Combat Hover Pods slowly float back and forth. When Tails gets close however, they will start attacking by firing a short-ranged flamethrower from their pod's front barrel while staying in flight. Despite this offensive, the Combat Hover Pods can be defeated in one blow with almost any of the bombs in the player's arsenal, though they are oddly immune to the Napalm Bomb. However, their airborne positions usually means that Tails has to jump or fly overhead in order to hit them.
Like many other enemies in Tails Adventures, Combat Hover Pods may drop a Ring upon their defeat.
Powers and abilities[]

Equipment[]
The Combat Hover Pods pilot small hovering pods. These pods, in addition to being capable of flight, are equipped with deadly flamethrowers.
