Snappies

Snappies are enemies in Zera: Myths Awaken who under the instruction of Medusa, have stolen Relics across Mythica and either hidden them around the worlds, given them to other enemies, or kept them for themselves.

Zera can defeat them by dashing into them, or screeching at them in close proximity. They are not nearly as tough as they look, as when approached, they will immediately run away and lead the player on a chase.

They come in varying colors and speeds.

Trivia

 * The decision on what species to make these characters was decided through a StrawPoll posted on the official Discord server. The losing, opposing option was sloth.
 * The idea of having such a slow animal for the role was for irony. This was inspired by the snails from the indie game Nytro, another Spyro spiritual successor.
 * The name "Snappy" is a play on snapping turtle, the phrasal verb of snap meaning to purchase or acquire something quickly before anyone else has the chance, and of course the actual word "snappy" itself meaning quickly made or done.
