Mad Puppets

Mad Puppets were animatronic puppets used by a North Korean theathre for the recording of propaganda cartoons and shows for children; in 1991 during the Third World War, they attacked Martin MacDonald after he assasinated Kim Il Sung in the effort to scare Asian communist states into isolationism.
==Description==
Despite being made for children's entertainment, or rather, perhaps because they were made as children's entertainment in a dictatorship with little respect for human life, the Mad Puppets were very unsafe - they were small battery-powered animatronics, that could roam freely around, like primitive wind-up toys or battery-powered walking plushies. They came in two variations - one which used ranged attacks, and one which used melee attacks.
The Ranged Mad Puppets were cartoonish monkeys that could electrocute the target; the moment they started releasing their electrical discharge caused by faulty viring and battery malfunction, they wouldn't stop until damaged or destroyed.
The Melee Mad Puppets were cartoonish teddybears, that ran very fasts towards the target, before finally letting their faulty construction get to them, and blowing up, spraying pieces of overheated metal all over the place, wounding the targed badly.
All of these puppets were destroyed by Martin MacDonald upon his escape from the theathre, after they attempted to kill him, turned on to life by the theathre staff.
==Strategy==
The SVD is the best weapon to deal with them - it destroys them in one shot. The Coachgun does so too, but takes a long time to reload, during which the toys might overwhelm the player. Other firearms, such as Škorpion vz. 61, AK-74 and the Pistol are mediocre choices - the toys can tank several bullets and are very fast, so it's hard to hit them. Thus, precise shots from the SVD are the way to go.

==Trivia==
*They were based on the fact that many puppet-animated shows from Communist countries were rather creepy to many younger people watching them, so the author got an idea to put them as enemies into the game. Originally, he thought of having moving cardboard cutouts of racist American soldier caricatures that would self-destruct when contacting the player, but settled for toys, because he liked the idea of creepy toys more.
*Their sprites come from the infamous Super 3D Noah's Ark game.
*In the code, they are called Popierdolone Zabawki, which translates to Toys that are fucked up in the head.
*The monkey Mad Puppets' projectiles pass through walls.
