Obsidian Defenders are hostile mobs found exclusively in the Dragon's Nest. Obsidian Defenders are hostile, inflict the Wither potion effect, and are extremely fast. They are also completely immune to all knockback unless the player is wielding a weapon with the Knockback enchantment, from which they would take significant knockback.
They are Wither Skeletons that wear a block of Obsidian on their heads, along with an Obsidian Chestplate.
