Powers and abilities

Game appearances
Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric
In Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric, the Shockers were created by Lyric the Last Ancient over 1,000 years ago to help with his schemes to destroy the earth. Before Lyric could achieve his goal though, he was imprisoned and the Shockers were left to rust. However, Lyric left some Shockers behind to be found so the finders would set him free to learn the Shockers' secrets. After Lyric escaped, he soon reactivated/or and reclaimed all his Shockers.
The Shockers are first encountered in the last proportion of Lyric's Tomb. In gameplay, the Shockers usually appear together with two or three other Shockers where they act as support to other enemies.
In battle, the Shockers move around erratically at surprisingly fast speeds, and when approaching them too slow they will fly away, which makes the Shockers quite pesky enemies. When attacking, they stand still in the air for a second before firing three or four green lasers at the player which is signified by white ripples they give off. To have a better chance at hitting the Shocker, the player has to use the Enerbeam, either to throw them into walls or pull them in up close, though they will fly away as soon as they are released from the Enerbeam in the latter's case. When destroyed, the Shockers release a single Ring and a small amount of Robot Scrap.
After Team Sonic defeated Lyric, all the Shockers were subsequently scrapped.
