==Characteristics==
==Characteristics==
Gnorc Balloonists share the same character desgins as [[Gnorc Sentry|Gnorc Sentries]] but they are found holding onto balloons that they use to float up and  down near the edge of pits. If [[Spyro the Dragon|Spyro]] gets too close, these Gnorcs will try to hit him with their shields. A Gnorc Balloonist can only be defeated if Spyro [[flame]]s their balloon, causing the Balloonist Gnorc to fall.
===Physical Appearance===
Gnorc Balloonists are [[Gnorc Senty|Gnorc Sentries]], but they carry shields and hold onto oversized balloons that keep them afloat near edges of platforms.
 
===Behavior===
If [[Spyro]] gets too close, the Gnorc Balloonists try to hit him with their shield. The only way to defeat them is to [[flame]] the balloons they are holding, causing them to fall. The balloon can only be flamed when the [[Gnorc]] bobs down, leaving the balloon level with Spyro.
