Galdr

Galdrs are an enemy Skell type in Xenoblade Chronicles X under the Mechanoid classification. These Ganglion mechs are commonly used as ranged fighters with strong firepower.

Description
''Manned, air-based units with transformative capabilities. Though colossal in size, these Skells can achieve incredibly high speeds while in cruise mode. While mobility is sacrificed when shifting to Skell mode, the boost in firepower more than makes up for it, as it permits deployment of four primary weapons—the piercing beam, tornado claw, titan missile, and creed revolver. Though each of these armaments differ conceptually, their shared modular nature make the Galdr series a highly versatile one.''

Extra details
The Ganglion's Seidr Skells are the next evolution in the galdr series.

 * Onyx Galdrs are mainly black and comprise the main force. They drop O.X. Units from the shoulder and arm weapon appendages.
