Design

Technical
As described in the infobox, the Nest Keeper has:
Strategy
What to do
- Be mindful of its drones, they’re fairly strong.
- You won’t stand a chance by yourself - team up if possible. Whether they're on your side or not, someone else nearby can provide a much-needed diversion that can be used to your advantage. You may need more than one as it has five Twin Auto Turrets and Drones.
- It has a chance to spawn with a Rogue Palisade, a Summoner and/or an Elite Skimmer. If this is the case, do NOT fight all at once, they can make a very deadly combo (especially with the Elite Skimmer), instead, try getting them to move away from each other (if the other boss is a Rogue Palisade, make the Nest keeper move away from the Rogue Palisade) before fighting them.
What not to do
- Try ramming it when it has high health as is has more health than a max-health Smasher.
- Fight it alone (unless you are skilled). Although the twin turrets and drones are weak, the boomer cannon is powerful enough to two-shot a glass build tank.
- Try to use a drone tank without a team as the drone tank may be strong against regular tanks the drone tank will be easily killed by the Nest Keeper (especially Underseer branch)
Trivia
- This boss was a suggestion by Whert.
- Its the first boss to use the Pentagon shape.
- It is the first (and currently the only) boss to use boomerangs.
- Along with Rogue Palisade, Summoner and Elite Skimmer, before spawning, the message "A strange trembling..." will show up.
- The Nest Keeper was added along with the Elite Battleship in the March 18th, 2020 Update.
- This boss is the second-largest in the game, the largest being the Celestials.
- The Nest Keeper's Drones can push it around, giving it some kind of speed boost sometimes.
- This boss reminds of the Omega Pentagon (Leviathan)
