"ShieldEnemy" is the technical parlance, and while generic, only its elemental variants have proper names in Japanese sources since the game itself literally treats it as the same enemy.

'''Shield'''{{DataTitle}} (called '''Guard''' in Japanese) is a [[large enemy]] which first appeared in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''. As its name implies, 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, Shield will stop and combine it's shield together to defend. Sustained damage will eventually break the shield, but it will take many hits before doing so. Their shield has 169 [[HP]], tied with [[mid-boss]]es. (For referene, a [[Star Bullet]] does 52 [[damage]].) Once disarmed, the Shield enemy 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 bearer can also be inhaled.
