Promethean Watcher



Promethean Watchers are advanced Forerunner A.I.s and a new class of enemies in Halo 4. They are the companions of the Promethean knights, and are mostly intended as a means of aerial defense, as they have the ability to fly. Watchers posses the technology to heal and augment damaged allies, as well as a gravity-displacement beam used for returning enemy ordnance, such as grenades.

When killed while holding a grenade with their gravity displacement beams, they will drop the grenade on the ground, thus killing or wounding any enemy within the blast radius. Watchers can also attack enemies by using a weapon similar to the light rifle, meaning that watchers can also defend themselves.

They can produce a Hardlight Shield to protect allies.

Watchers MAY seem to be an advanced version of the sentinels found in halo 1, 2 and 3. this is possible as it has been a long time since the destruction of installation 04b. in which time, forerunner technology might have advanced enough to make upgrades.
