The '''Guard'''{{ForeignTitle}} (referred to in the game data as '''Shield Enemy''') is a [[large enemy]] which first appeared in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''. It is a shield-wielding enemy, though its shield is initially split into two halves.


Two variants of this enemy exist, with one type wielding a burning shield and the other wielding a shield made of ice. Aside from this distinction, they are both fundamentally the same, and attack by charging at [[Kirby]] and his allies. If hit with most forms of attack, the Shield Enemy will stop and combine its shield together to defend. Sustained damage will eventually break the shield, but it will take many hits before doing so. The shield has 169 [[HP]], tied with [[mid-boss]]es. (For reference, a [[Star Bullet]] does 52 [[damage]].) Once disarmed, the Shield Enemy only sits in place with 1 HP, bearing a fearful expression.
Two variants of this enemy exist, with one type wielding a burning shield (called '''Sizzle Guard'''{{ForeignTitle}}) and the other wielding a shield made of ice (called '''Blizzard Guard'''{{ForeignTitle}}). Aside from this distinction, they are both fundamentally the same, and attack by charging at [[Kirby]] and his allies. If hit with most forms of attack, the Guard will stop and combine its shield together to defend. Sustained damage will eventually break the shield, but it will take many hits before doing so. The shield has 169 [[Health|HP]], tied with [[mid-boss]]es. (For reference, a [[Star Bullet]] does 52 [[damage]].) Once disarmed, the Guard only sits in place with 1 HP, bearing a fearful expression.


However, should an opposing element be used on the shield ([[Sizzle]] on the ice shield; [[Blizzard]]/[[Bluster]]/[[Splash]]/[[Artist]] on the fire shield), it will break immediately, destroying the enemy altogether (unlike [[Anger Masker]]). Kirby can also [[inhale]] the shield if given enough time to do so, and can swallow it for the [[Fire]] or [[Ice]] abilities based on type. From there, the defenseless Shield Enemy can also be inhaled.
