    —Game description

Arkeyan Shield Juggernauts are Arkeyan enemies that appeared in Skylanders: Giants. They are large, slow, and keep one half of a shield on each arm. The Juggernauts can take a lot of damage before being taken down, and can attack Skylanders close by with their shields. When their target is far away from them, they join the halves of the shield together, and fire a laser beam from the center of it. They can also rotate during this attack very slowly, and are invulnerable from the front during it (similar to an Inhuman Shield).

Trivia

• Their laser attack does not damage other enemies.
• Some Skylanders (like Drobot with his eye lasers) can interrupt the laser attack just before the laser comes out, and other attacks such as Trigger Happy's coin toss at specific distances force the Juggernaut to use the melee move despite the Skylander being out of range.
• In alpha builds of Giants, Arkeyan Shield Juggernauts only take 1 damage (or none, depending on the build) when hit while their shield is up. If the player interrupts its laser attack, the Juggernaut's shielded state will continue, making it practically immune to damage.
• The Arkeyan Shield Juggernauts in the Skylanders: Giants version of Eruptor’s Heroic Challenge will still show damage numbers when attacked, but can’t be defeated unless a bomb is thrown at them.
• Alternate descriptions for the Juggernaut include "Surprises lie behind that shield" and "Keep Your Enemies Closer."
• Arkeyan Shield Juggernauts were originally known simply as "Arkeyan Juggernauts."
• In Skylanders: Battlecast, it appears in the Restless Spirit Undead Spell Card. Despite not being part of the Elite Guard, and thus having no known Undead qualities, an Arkeyan Shield Juggernaut is featured in an Undead Spell Card demonstrating the reviving spell.
