Howlitzers are a type of enemy found in the Clockworks.
Traits
Howlitzers are the undead version of Gun Puppies. Not only are they creepier, they will also attempt to make a kamikaze attack by firing their explosive skulls at knights when they are about to die, so it is advised to gun them from a distance, and shield before they explode. Like Gun Puppies, Howlitzers will shoot 3 bullets at tier 2 and 5 at tier 3.
Unlike all other undead, Howlitzers CAN be inflicted with curse; however, they do resist sleep like other undead.

Strategy
Howlitzers consider to be one of the harder turrets, due to its kamikaze attack after defeating it. Avoid killing more than one at the same time because of this, or you'll definitely have a gigantic kamikaze moment. There are a number of ways to dealing with its kamikaze attack. One way is shielding yourself while it is charging you. Another way is destroying it afar using a gun to damage it.
If you are killing a Howlitzer with a melee weapon, be careful once you finish it off. Back away once you defeat it to avoid the kamikaze attack. Killing Howlitzers with guns is recommended, as you can kill from afar and have a better chance in avoiding it.
