Shikadi Overlord

From KeenWiki

This is the Shikadi leader. It's a straight fight - your Neural Ray Blaster against his homing rockets. But the odds are in his favor because he only has to hit you once, and you have to hit him many times! The Overlord also has a personal teleporter, so watch your back! Defeat the Shikadi Overlord and get a Plasma Crystal.

The Overlord is a deep orange, unlike his electric blue comrades, suggesting he is of lower energy. He also seems to be more solid, being opaque and able to lift heavy objects. It is most likely that he is an engineered creature, like the Robo Bloog; except it is likely Mortimer McMire created him rather than the Droidiccus. The precise function and role of the Overlord is a mystery; he may be a puppet leader, like the Vorticon King under the Grand Intellect or a weapon, like the Moon Assault Overlord in Duke Nukem 3D. He appears to control the Shikadi Spacecraft and his title suggests some control over the Shikadi, who are nevertheless loyal to Mortimer.
