Prowlers

Prowlers describe the (mostly hostile) creatures that inhabit Eden other than Grimps. Their main purpose is to release pollen to charge seeds when defeated. Most Prowlers have a core full of liquid pollen that jiggles around when the Prowler moves. When struck, the pollen explodes out of the Prowler, effectively killing it and granting points in the case of Eden 1. Destroying multiple in a single jump will cause more and more pollen to be released. If the player chains a multiple of three seeds in one jump, all Prowlers on screen will explode.

## List of Prowlers

### Pollen Prowlers

#### Type A

Type A Pollen Prowlers are completely harmless. They float around aimlessly, exploding with pollen when a Grimp even touches one with either their body or their silk. They appear in nearly every garden.

#### Type B

Introduced in Flat frog and Tribe of gravity in Encore's case, these Eden 1 exclusives are slightly more dangerous in that they can't be destroyed with silk, instead weakening it by spinning so it snaps quicker.

#### Type C

These Prowlers instantly cut any silk they come across. In Eden 2, these Prowlers are described as having spikes saturated with pollen, and as such, explode with far more pollen than a normal Prowler.

### Shield Prowler

These come in two forms, one from Eden 1 and the other from Eden 2 and Obscura. The Eden 1 variant will float in your direction and charge at you with its shield, knocking you away and leaving it vulnerable for a moment. The Eden 2 variant sits there motionlessly, but its shield completely covers its core. You must break the shield by spinning in order to destroy the core.

### Missile Prowler

These fellas float around the screen with their missile shield, but when you get close, they will spin and shoot the missiles all over the place that will attempt to hit you. After a barrage of missiles, they are vulnerable for a few seconds before their missile shields regenerate.

### Split Prowler

These guys are actually six Prowlers in one. In a similar vein to the Shield Prowler, the Splitting Prowlers float around the screen and attempt to hit you. When spun into, this Prowler will split into six smaller prowlers that will recombine after a few seconds.

### Knocker Prowler (Name not official)

Only featured in Swept the rain, this obscure enemy will knock any plant you're sitting on to wobble you around. It must be hit twice to be expelled from the stage.

### Gravity Prowler

Only featured in Wheel window and Schatten im licht, (both are the seventh level of their respective games and are both dubbed the "gravity level", whaddya know?) these are the only Prowlers that cannot be defeated. Their only purpose is to shift the gravity in the level when you get close. In Wheel window, the gravity shifts counter-clockwise, while in Schatten im licht, it changes randomly.

### Laser Prowler

These bad boys are meaner in that they can **subtract time from the timer** whenever you're hit. Only in Eden 1 though. When you get close, they will charge six lasers that cover the screen, and can only be dodged by spinning. But only in Eden 1 for some reason. In Ocaso en cenote and Vista of a desert bird, there exists a variant that only shoots three lasers instead of six.

### Bone Prowler (Name not official)

These guys are fast and aggressive, and take skill to hit. They fly around the screen sporadically, but when they slow down in front of a plant, they will spin and kill the plant in front of your eyes. The plant will regenerate after a moment though.

### Boss Prowler (Name not official)

The "final boss" of Eden 1, seen at the highest peaks of Return and guarding one of the Spectra, this is the biggest and baddest Prowler of them all. It will spin to create a black hole effect, sucking up pollen and destroying any Pollen Prowlers nearby, and even your Grimp if you're not clinging onto a plant with your dear life, and spit it out again, usually off the cliff and into your doom. You have to be fast to defeat it once it finishes its attack.
