Autolances (キャタガード Kyatagādo, Cataguard in Japan) are some of the more powerful enemies in The Subspace Emissary and first appear in The Battlefield Fortress level. They move on treads and use giant lances attached to their fronts to ram and attack. Autolances do not flinch at any attack, making them somewhat threatening, especially coupled with other enemies. An Autolance's weak spot is inside its armored-helmet head in the form of an emergency light. An Autolance has two different types of attacks, the first being a long-range move where it launches a giant lance at the player. This can be reflected. The second is a close-range slash attack. Another reason unknown why Autolance is called Autolance because of the emergency light that looks like an ambulance. Autolance is the shittiest and gayest enemy in the game.

Name origin

Autolance's name is a combination of the prefix auto- (possibly automotive), being a machine capable of moving by itself, and lance, the weapon it uses to attack. Its appearance seems to based off of the helmet of a medieval knight.
