Defender

Defenders are enemies from Kingdom Hearts.

One of the Hollow Bastion Heartless, the Defender was essentially a Goofy-themed enemy and counterpart to the Wizard. Defenders had two minds; the Defender had a mind of its own. Though Defenders didn't do much themselves, their shields used Fire and Blizzard magic, blocked from attacks, and bit approaching targets. There was a 5% chance that a Defender would leave behind its shield.

The Defender is similar in many ways to the Lance Soldier from Kingdom Hearts II.

It is notable, that the Defender takes Goofy's defence build, and the Wizard takes Donald's magic build, but there is no enemy to finish the group and take Sora's power build.

Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories
A Heartless that primarily resides in Hollow Bastion.

Its shield stops head-on physical and magical attacks, and can launch fireballs.

The Defender is also a skilled card user, and will break the cards of unprepared opponents.
