Dreadwing

The Dreadwing is a machine in North America seemingly based on a vampire bat. It is a heavyweight combat machine that is capable of flight.

Utility

When docile, they are often seen hanging upside down from ruins, buildings or cliff faces. Dreadwings are responsible for deploying Metal Flowers.

Complexity

The Dreadwing resembles a vampire bat, albeit far larger than any bat in nature. Its face contains two bat-like ears that can cause blinding flashes, and two detachable fangs it uses for biting. Its throat contains a Metalbite sac that allows it to use acid clouds or projectiles, and a stamina drain container on the back of the neck. It has bomb launchers on its chest that can be used as a weapon, and a stealth device below that allows the Dreadwing to go invisible, similar to the Stalkers. On its back are a pair of antennae that it uses to call reinforcements, and near the base of the tail is a radar.
It has two massive black wings used for flight, and two smaller "tail fin" wings on its back, likely used for locomotion. It has Sparkers on the shoulders, resource containers on the elbows, a damage-dampener container on the top of the left fin, and a noxious canister on the top of the right fin. Its tail is composed of a diamond-shaped sail with two triangular prongs above it, each prong having a Purgewater canister below it. Like the Stalker, it has little armor, only having plating on its head, chest, and wingarms.
Much like a Stalker, the Dreadwing has the ability to turn invisible. They can also send out beams of light and blind Aloy. They come equipped with a range of brutal projectiles and swift, powerful melee attacks. They can easily detect enemies in stealth with their radar. They are also able to temporarily disable the Focus, rendering it unusable for a time.
Destroying the Metalbite sac and noxious canister leave it unable to use Acid, and destroying the dampener containers leaves it unable to hinder enemies. Destroying the flashers leaves unable to blind, and like the Stalker, destroying the bomb launcher and stealth generator means it can't launch bombs or go invisible, and the bomb launchers can be picked up and used as a weapon.
