The Commando Husk^[1] is an enemy that appears in the Sonic Boom series. They are a collection of different models of dormant Destruction Troops which can be awakened by Parasite Snakes.

Overview

The Commando Husks are not an independent model of Destruction Troops. Rather, it refers to a collection of various Destruction Troop odels. These include:

• Blaster Trooper
• Bomber Elite
• Crusher Brute
• Fridge Brute
• Furnace Brute
• Gatling Elite
• Gunslinger Trooper
• Swordsman Trooper

Commando Husks only appear in a few levels. Weak Commando Husks appear in groups while tougher ones are by themselves. They are encountered in the Abandoned Research Facility, Ocean Purification Plant, Creeper Gorge and Lyric's Lair.

On their own, the Commando Husks are harmless as they can neither move or attack. However, each model have health similar to their counterparts (i.e. Swordsman Trooper husks take a few hits to destroy while Crusher Brute husks require many). Should a Parasite Snake approach a Commando Husk however, it will crawl into it and reboot it, giving back its mobility, durability, and attack patterns. An advisable strategy is to either destroy the Commando Husks before the Parasite Snakes can reach it or keep the Parasite Snakes away. Also, destroying a model of Commando Husk will release the same amount of Rings and Robot Scrap said model would otherwise grant.

Trivia

• The Commando Husks' name was not revealed in the final version of Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric. However, their name is listed in an unused biography for the game.^[1]
