The Defender (ディフェンダー Difendā?) is an Emblem Heartless that is found in Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories.

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 only a 0.2% chance that a Defender would leave behind its shield, which is equal to a 1 in 500 chance, making the shield extremely rare! It is suggested that the Lucky Strike ability is equipped, as many as possible.

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

It also has a similarity to Beserkers as they appear to be controlled by their claymores and Defenders appear to be controlled by their shields.

While the Defender takes Goofy's defense build, and the Wizard takes Donald's magic build, it is possible that the Wyvern takes Sora's build in terms of raw power.
