Line 20:
* Dark Nuts and Black Knights from [[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]. They have a shield and a sword. They charge at you, but swash away any sword attack you may try to get in. The key to defeating them is to roll around (they are rather slow to turn around), then deliver massive hurtage [[Double Entendre|from behind]].
** ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess]]'' has [[Lizard Folk|Lizalfos and Aeralfos]], who must be stunned or shields destroyed in order to kill them, and [[Boss in Mook Clothing|Darknuts]], who are defeated via superior swordsmanship or by taking out their outer armor with bomb arrows.
** ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword]]'' gives these to the huge Moblins; one with a wooden, one with a banded shield. The ones with wooden shields can be chopped up or blown out of the Moblin's hand, but the only recourse for the banded shields is to climb them and jump over.
* ''[[Metal Slug]]'': One of the regular mooks carries a shield, and only lets his guard down when he tries to slash/shoot you. One level lets you play the [[Battleship Raid]] with one of the three, he tends to survive the longest.
* ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'': One monster in Yugi's deck (Big Shield Gardna) is a man crouching behind a ginormous shield, with very high defense and ridiculous attack.
Line 29:
* ''[[Plants vs. Zombies]]'' has Newspaper Zombies (weak shield, gets ''pissed'' when you destroy it), Screen Door Zombies (strong shield), and Ladder Zombies (medium-strength shield that can be placed on your defensive unit to bypass it). All three can block shots from the front, but are vulnerable to lobbed-shot attacks, fumes, and spikes.
* ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog 2]]'' (and ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog 4]]'') has Crawl, a crablike robot who blocks all attacks from the front and from above with his shield.
* In ''[[Flashback (video game)|Flashback]]: The Quest For Identity'' [[Player Character]] and some opponents use [[Deflector Shields|Force Field]] devices. When used, these completely protect from frontal attacks, but only for a few moments.
* Jackals in the ''[[Halo]]'' series have a large circular energy shield on one arm to defend from frontal attacks. It completely deflects bullets, but can be disrupted by sufficient energy weapons fire or a melee attack. There's also a small slot in the corner for the Jackal to stick their weapon through; their bodies can be targeted through this gap if you have sufficiently good aim.
** ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' added skirmishers; who are also Jackals but for some reason have smaller shields on both of their arms that doesn't really protect them.
** Hunters have a forearm shield to guard their weak points, in addition to being heavily armored in general.
* One of the [[Superpowered Mooks]] types in ''[[TimeShift]]'' are equipped with an impenetrable arm-mounted energy shield. Explosives can damage them through the shield, and freezing time causes the shield to disappear entirely.
