Dreadnought

The powerful Dreadnought is the mechanized edition of the Dreadmaster and alternate to the Mother Board and Destroyer, representing The Dread in Hard Mode. It may spawn at night, accompanied by the message "An eerie feeling of dread consumes the night..."

First Form
It has 40,000 and behaves like its Pre-Hard Mode counterpart. It circles the player at varying speeds, now occasionally pausing completely to fire a salvo of rockets. While it circles it will periodically fire lasers at the player, firing and circling faster as its health depletes. It will also charge the player, fleeing off the screen and charging back on from another side.

Second Form
Upon reaching 20, 000 , the Dreadnought will begin to fire rockets instead of lasers and spawn Probes which follow its circular motion. When pausing to fire a salvo of rockets it will create a Force-Field and will fire more rockets per burst. When charging off screen it will charge from one side to another multiple times, depending on its health, (maxing out at 5 charges), and all the while firing rockets in random directions.
