Vanguard Series

The Vanguard Series is a series of entities in Extended Arras. They originate from the classic Vanguard boss, which actually comes from Tale of Diep.

Design
Vanguard Series bosses all have one thing in common: their body is the shape of an irregular rectangle, or arrowhead to be more specific. Most then have an auto-turret on top of their base and to more auto-turrets beneath the sides of the base. Most also have some sort of trap launcher in the rear.

Trivia

 * Extended Arras is the second game to use the Vanguard boss.
 * The first was woomy-arras.io/, but it would've been the second if Tale of Diep became a real game.
 * Egger's creation was based off of Purrfect Speed's fondness of Vanguards.
 * This has been confirmed by MonoDrive.
 * The name "Nightstrike" was on Purrfect Speed's mind for about 3 years, however, he couldn't quite find someone or something to name Nightstrike.
 * However, he decided to make a special Vanguard to hold the name Nightstrike. Thanks to Extended Arras.
 * Vanguard Swarmist is similar to Cobalt X, another Vanguard Boss by Purrfect Speed.
 * However, while Cobalt X can spawn any bosses that aren't too OP, Vanguard Swarmist, as the name suggest, only spawns Vanguards.
 * VAGNAURD actually got his official name due to Purrfect Speed commonly misspelling "Vanguard" as "Vagnuard" while talking to his friends. Then he realized that Vagnuard was a cool name, so he made a boss called VAGNUARD.
 * A picture of VAGNUARD was released, but it's unofficial an had to be made on short notice.
 * About 95% of Vanguards on this list are made by Purrfect Speed.
 * The 5% not made by Purrfect Speed are the original Vanguard, Egger, Sheath, Shatterer, Cutioner, and Ultra Vanguard.
 * Technically, some credit goes to Purrfect Speed for Egger, as said earlier, Egger's creation was based off of Purrfect's liking of Vanguards.
