To do
Lance-a-Bot has a spear, which is its own object.

Thing type 118, Lance-a-Bot, previously known as CastleBot FaceStabber or Egg Knight, is a large knight-like enemy used in Castle Eggman Zone. Its name is a pun on Lancelot. It carries a lance, dashing towards and attempting to skewer any player that enters its line of sight — stopping after a successful stab, if the target moves out of the path of attack, or if it reaches a ledge.

Matching its menacing appearance, Lance-a-bot takes two hits to defeat and players will rebound off of it as if attacking a boss. Attempting to damage it head on during a charge invites being hurt by the lance instead, making it especially dangerous in tight corridors.
