Description
In case you haven't noticed the Chess theme yet, here's pretty good indication of it. You may call them Castles, or Towers, but I was always told they were Rooks, and thus, it's the name I use. And yes, I realize Chess-themed enemies aren't original at all.

Rooks are purely defensive units, though they can employ their arm-mounted slabs as weapons in a pinch. They provide defense by folding up into an impenatrable state and project a temporary barrier that repels anything outside of it from entering, but it effectively non-existant for anything(or anyone) inside. After the barrier disipates, the Rook must remain in position for some time before becoming active again. This is an oppertune moment to attempt destroying the lock-like object adorning it's neck, which will somehow cause all of it's armor to crumble, after which it is rendered completely harmless.
