Defender

Defenders are small masked enemies found in the Astrolab that carry a Protector with their hands and move around to shield other enemies. They are exclusive to the Rise of the Giant DLC.
== Behavior ==
Defenders are capable of protecting at least one enemy with a force field, during which they gain damage reduction. The shielding effect is not restricted to a single enemy, although they may follow their intended target. Defenders themselves cannot be shielded by other defenders.
If they are not currently defending an enemy, Defenders will only perform a melee attack with the Protector.
