Hive Crone

Hive Crones are enemies featured in Evil West.
==Background==
Hive Crones use insects to deliver droplets of vampiric compound to other vampires. Moths and flies that live off the Hive Crone's open wounds deliver the droplets straight into the vampire's mouth, boosting their abilities during a fight. The creatures can also use their hives as shields to ward off attacks.
==Gameplay==
Hive Crones should be dispatched as soon as they appear. They will fly around the area and spawn floating orbs that circle around themselves. While these orbs are active, they will produce a protective barrier around all enemies, essentially making them invincible. To kill a Hive Crone, players must use either the Rifle or X-Bow to destroy the orbs. Once they have been destroyed, the Hive Crone will large a wave of projectiles at the player, exposing a weak spot. If this spot is fired at, the Hive Crone will drop to the ground, stunned. This gives the player several seconds to attack before it will recover and spawn more orbs. Simply repeat this process until it is killed. Alternatively, a Hive Crone is not invulnerable when its orbs circle around it, leaving it suscitible to ranged attacks. However, this can be risky as the player will not be able to inflict any damage on other enemies in the area with the Hive Crone orbs active.
