Churmachum

Official text extracted from Panzer Dragoon Orta.

This creature floats in the air at relatively low speeds and drags its tentacles behind it. Although their reaction time is relatively slow for a pure-type bio-engineered creature, once attacked, they will emit a devastating energy beam, and will remain in attack mode until all targets are dispatched.

It is believed that they were designed to be mobile turrets, meant to engage enemies automatically upon an enemy attack.
