10000-HCT Starkeeper

== Overview ==
The 10000-HCT Starkeeper is a miniboss summoned in the mid-phase of the 10000-HCT "Persephone" boss fight, presumably as some kind of "air support" given it is a literal helicopter.
== Appearance ==
The Starkeeper resembles a large grayish helicopter with thin spread wings and three turrets; two on the side and one "larger" gun on the bottom, which has fuselage that curves into a three-pronged tailfin.
Although it has a vertical propeller presumably used to take off, it lacks a horizontal rotor that would presumably assist in moving the damn thing (albeit it seems to move independent of this issue). The Starkeeper also lacks landing gear. In-game, there is an effect applied to the propeller to give it a sense of movement, and it constantly focuses on the player. The mechanics of the Starkeeper fight imply it has capacity for missiles and refuge for heavy ordinance.
== Behavior ==
The Starkeeper has no phases and 300 HP, and is damaged by collecting green "dud" bombs that regularly fall from it's bomb bay (after each attack, to be more exact). In combat, it strafes around the player regularly assaulting them with four possible attacks:
* The Starkeeper fires a barrage of bullets from the turrets on it's side.
* The Starkeeper fires a stream of bullets from it's primary turret.
* The Starkeeper launches eight missiles from itself, four on each side of it's wings.
* Lastly, it holds itself still before firing a small red laser from it's belly.
Upon defeat, it spins out of control before appearing to collide with the ground. It's death instantly triggers the final phase of the Persephone boss fight.

== Trivia ==
* The Starkeeper boss fight is based on the Hammerhead miniboss from Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance.I said so -Marecrisium
** The Starkeeper's reliance on dropping bombs may also make it a partial reference to the Hunter-Chopper from Half-Life 2, in which it deploys an egregious amount of bombs during it's own boss fight.
* It's name may be derived from the word "peacekeeper", simply retrofitted for the Moon's "war-waging space bunnies" aesthetic.
* When the Starkeeper takes damage, it emits a faint, high-pitched scream from the cockpit. The scream is sampled from a YouTube video named "kid turns blue and fucking dies" and is likely a gimmick pulled from the Fumo on a Roomba.
* Inferring from the behavior it presents in it's fight, the Starkeeper is likely a VTOL given it constantly hovers in the air and doesn't seem to ever fly like a standard helicopter.
* Although the Starkeeper appears to be based on no real model of real-world helicopter in particular, it bears a slight resemblance to the AV-14 Hornet from the Halo franchise and the Mil Mi-24.
** There is a spotlight on the Starkeeper, though it is extremely difficult to see due to it's height and the typical rendering gimmicks for lighting in ROBLOX's engine.
** The "propellers" of the Starkeeper are actually a particle effect.
