Nuckelavee

"Destroy them! Destroy them all! Fight to the last nuckelavee!"

-Lord Zyclon

The Nuckelavee is a Megacorp robot that resembles an acorn. They are small and have very little health, making them the game's easiest enemy to defeat.

Appearance
Nuckelavees are small and round in shape, with two eyes, a mouth, a tail, and stubby arms and legs. They wear a metal cap on their head which has a single screw protruding from the top. This gives them the appearance of an acorn.

Nuckelavees carry small laser guns, the characteristics of which are dependent on the type of the nuckelavee. They shoot blindly, without thinking to aim at anything. To boot, the lasers they fire are weak, making them very little of a threat.

Orange Nuckelavee
The standard Nuckelavee. Carries a small laser gun that fires a diminutive red charge, which travels slowly and does little damage.

Blue Nuckelavee
This nuckelavee, colored blue, is faster and has more health than an orange nuckelavee. The lasers they fire also travel faster and are considerably faster.

Trivia
Nuckelavees are the first enemies to be seen in the game. In the game's very first level, nuckelavees are the only enemy seen.

The name "nuckelavee" is shared with a type of mythical monster.
