The **Anti-Drone Sentinels** are mechanical dromaeosaurid theropods designed to attack and terminate any drone they encounter should they enter their territory. They serve as the primary antagonists of "Dead End" where they guard the underground office facility of Cabin Fever Labs.

A more dangerous, red-eyed Sentinel was created upon tasting human (Tessa's) blood instead of drone oil. It violently malfunctioned, which caused it to go against its initial programming and attack humans. It is implied that this red-eyed variant can control the blue-eyed Sentinels.

## Appearance

The Sentinels are robotic animals that roughly resemble dromaeosaurs (raptors). Because of the Sentinels' sheer size, it can be inferred that they are Utahraptors. They have three glowing blue eyes (it turned red for the Sentinel that attacked Tessa) on each side of their head and two smaller ones in the middle.

## Colors

Sentinel variants are divided between two colors in their eyes that dictate their behavioral pattern and directives:

* **Blue Sentinels**: All Sentinels have blue eyes and are programmed to attack only Drones while remaining subservient to humans. Their programming orders them to find and terminate any form of Drone, regardless of whether they're Worker or Disassembly. They can emit a bright flash that boot-loops any drone that sees the light head-on. This causes the Drone to become frozen and unresponsive, allowing the Sentinel to destroy them.

* **Red Sentinels:** After attacking Tessa and biting her arm, one of the Sentinels suffers a massive glitch caused by crashing its head into a wall. The damage caused the Sentinel to gain a thirst for human blood, and its blue eyes switched to a deep red hue.

## Abilities

Anti-Drone Sentinels are extremely dangerous and lethal towards any drone they find, killers driven by their sole directive to terminate all A.I. targets they encounter.

Despite being outnumbered, the Sentinels are ruthlessly efficient in terminating Drones, as displayed by the countless Disassembly Drone corpses and parts found at the entrance of the Cabin Fever Labs. Their most dangerous asset is the ability to boot-loop any Drone they flash their lights at, rendering them immobile and vulnerable.

However, while this hostility is meant for Drones only and never to be against their human creators, they have trouble distinguishing between them. For example, when one saw Tessa, its first response was to try to boot-loop her, becoming confused when she was unaffected. Regardless, it bit her when she tried to appease the mechanical predator.

 **Boot-Loop Light** | The Sentinels have a blindingly bright light built into their forehead, which can emit a brief flash of light similar to a camera flash. The light immediately boot-loops any drone unfortunate enough to witness it, rendering it immobile.

## Trivia

* The dictionary definition of a sentinel is "a soldier or guard whose job is to stand and keep watch." Indeed, the Anti-Drone Sentinels appear confined to the Cabin Fever Labs guarding the underground levels.
* When Tessa attempted to tame a Sentinel, she reached her hand out to it slowly. This is referencing a scene in *Jurassic World* when Owen Grady tried to gain some trust with his Raptors using the same method Tessa attempted.
* The Sentinels make noises like chirping, screeching, and growling.
* The Sentinels resemble the Velociraptor from *Jurassic Park* and *World*.
* In the Sentinels' concept art, they closely resembled the neotheropod dinosaur Dilophosaurus, judging by their distinct dual head crests and large size. These were scrapped for unknown reasons.
* During GlitchX, Liam Vickers stated that Sentinels were originally floating orbs, similar to Wheatley from the Portal franchise.
* A Sentinel might have had trouble recognizing Tessa as a human because she was wearing an astronaut suit, which might have made her look like a drone or otherwise indistinguishable from a human.
* During *The Beginning Of The End,* We heard a Sentinel's roar at the end.
