Defender

Defenders are small masked monsters who carry a Protector with their hands and move around to shield other enemies. Defenders are only found in the Astrolab with 5 BSC active.

Behavior
Defenders mostly run around to avoid the player's attacks and keep the force field active on the enemy they are shielding, as they can only shield one enemy at a time. When shielding another enemy they gain a damage reduction buff. They follow one enemy in particular, which is usually the one they will be shielding, but their force field can sometimes apply to a different enemy nearby, including through the walls. When the player is within close range and has killed the main shielded enemy, they lose their damage reduction buff, but can now attack by swinging the dummy downwards.
