Armored

In Tears of the Kingdom, there are some enemies that are covered in rock armor, and acts as padding for health for enemies. In this state, they can only be damaged by blunt weapons or explosions, and their health bar will have a yellow bar over the red one, representing the amount of health the armor itself has. When their armor is destroyed on the last hit, damage will not carry over to their regular health regardless of the amount of damage.
When the armor breaks, they may leave behind a piece of armor that can be fused with weapons and shields.
For Lynels, they also can wear rock armor. The lynels can not be mounted during their armored state. Trying so will instantly knock link off taking a big amount of damage. The rock armor on lynels is even more powerful, obsorbing nearly all attacks but can be destroyed with explosions or weapons Fused with hard objects.
