Defensive

Also known as protective enemies, they are usually guarding their allies or an objective. These type of enemies is also cautious and will be able to avoid traps. They will always initiate a battle if their protectee is damaged; however, we have seem defensive creatures initiate combat even when the adventurers walked too close to the protectee.

Supportive

Supportive enemies are a huge archetype that has many different usage; this is a generic term to describe a collection of enemies that have abilities helping their allies directly or indirectly. For example, healing, buff, invisibility cloak, etc.
