Air Sac Cauldron

Air Sac Cauldrons send Air Sacs, which are powerful enemy units that hover in the air. Air Sacs create chains of Glops, which they throw at units. The Glops can be shot down with Snipers, and Air Sacs can be shot down with many Missiles, which will cause it to drop its entire Glop chain. Air Sac Cauldrons can be disabled with a Nullifier.

Air Sacs have no noticeable limit to how long their Glop chains can be, but eventually the chains will get so long that the Glops at the bottom end up colliding with terrain, causing them to burst.
