Autracks are sentry turrets installed in tactically important ruins areas. They are disguised to resemble Chozo sculptures, with an avian “head” that emits a single high-intensity plasma blast capable of vaporizing most life-forms in a single hit. Autracks can adjust their vertical height as well as rotate on a horizontal axis, but cannot change their vertical angle, as they were not designed to attack aerial targets. These auto turrets have binocular vision and are activated by laser tripwires installed on the front.

Autracks are rather dangerous security turrets. They will raise their necks and fire a single big laser that can deal 10 damage normally. They are sometimes placed below obstacles, making them difficult to hit and can create nasty traps when placed in vertical shafts. They will often drop units of 20 energy.

The head of the turret is shaped like a dragon or a bird.
