https://ablume.deviantart.com Shieldloths are white yugoloths somewhat resembling shadow demons with spindly limbs and small heads. They magically produce forcefields, which you can always tell are there, sticking approximately 2 inches out from their bodies all over, but which don't really have a colour until they make contact with something, and start to crackle with blue green and purple energy. These shields protect them from nearly everything, but they also have a cost; over years of evolution the shieldloths inside have become incredibly frail. In combat, since they cannot effectively hold weapons they charge at their enemies, damaging them with their shields.
