Trivia[]
- Hoverhafts are in many ways the equivalent of Goldarmors to the Flying Machine. They are both humanoid enemies who wield conventional weapons and take multiple hits to be downed. Furthermore, the Flying Machine has several statues of Hoverhaft similar to the Goldarmor statues in Pridemoor Keep and the Tower of Fate.
- Their model is named "Propeller Minion" in the game's files.
