The Horrifying Watcher are a powerful Ultra variant of Gazer.

Gameplay

Horrifying Watchers are large-sized targets. Their main attack option consists in an Taken version of the Servitor Eye, a slow traveling explosive called Retina Blast that deals severe Void damage. Their secondary attack consists of powerful tentacles which deal considerable Kinetic damage with high knockback, in addition to being able to grab foes. Occasionally they can teleport, and cast a Hex that leaves behind a pool of Void Flames that deals a moderate amount of damage.

Gazers float around rapidly, relying on the strong thickness of most of their shell to protect them from damage. Their weak spot is their central eye-mouth, with the flesh around it taking reduced damage, and the rest of the body mitigating it even more. Being Ultra enemies, Gazers can also summon groups of combatants, usually other Taken, as support. In addition, they often have other defensive or offensive abilities, such as creating immunity Blights, or controlling pools of damaging liquid matter.

Horrifying Watchers take a step further, gaining an AOE melee and the ability to apply Suffocating Terror if looked at for too long.

Trivia

• Gazers are similiar to Chimeras, in being amalgamations of flesh and tentacles.
