Ideas for Enemies in a Platformer Shoot Em Up Game

THE TITLE SAYS IT ALL!

Propose enemy Ideas in this format:

Name: [Insert Name Here]
Color: [Insert Color Here Except Yellow]
Health: [Nothing more than 20 HP]
Extras: [Insert Unique or Extra Info Here]


Examples:
Name: Normal
Color: Purple
Health: 5
Extras: Nothing.

Name: Pogo
Color: White
Health: 10
Extras: Bounces when they touch the ground making them hard to hit.


Note:
YOU MUST select a color that is included in the make Code color palette AND is not yellow (The player will be yellow)
I also have speedy and slow Enemies in play so yeah.

Gonna put up a poll real quick:

The A button is for fire projectiles to take down the enemies, what should the B button be for?
  • A dash ability to make running away from enemy hordes easier
  • A rocket attack that pierces through enemies until it hits a wall
  • A landmine placer that can one-tap enemies who step on it (5 is the limit)

:cry:
Anyhow, I like the enemies having colours different to the player, maybe you could extend it so enemies of specific areas have a shared colour scheme?

So they share the same color?
Would make for enemy confusion lol
But do you have an enemy idea?

more like a palette (eg 2 colour ramps and 1 highlight colour that most enemies share)

Name: Glitz
Color: Black, Rainbow
Health: 3
Extra: This enemy simply chases the player, and turns into a rainbow colored enemy on death, chasing the player with increased speed, double damage, for 2 seconds before dying.

name: camera.
color: white, black and red.
health: 1.
extras: the camera watches an area, when it detects the player it sends 3 drones that shoot the player, each time the player destroys a drone another one appears, this happens until 10 seconds pass after the camera has seen the player. the white cameras are normal, the black cameras send the drones and also shoot lasers if you stay too long in the area they watch, the red one sends explosive drones that don’t shoot but are faster, when they touch the player they take a few seconds to explode, the explosion covers a relly large area.
btw could you make the dash do damage to the enemies the player touches while dashing.

extras: it is invincible the generator is token out and every 1.5 seconds it will shoot a projectile at the player
and maybe have a mobile version carried by two enemies but they could only go a limited distance and it’s very slow
