The '''Diarn''' is a floating robotic [[enemy]], originating from ''[[Mega Man 9]]'', whom wears two large diamonds as an invincible "shell", to deflect enemy projectiles and keep them out of harm's way. It appeared in [[Jewel Man]]'s stage, and promptly reappeared in the third stage of ''Mega Man 9's'' Wily Castle.

Diarn debuted in version [[1.5.0]] of ''[[Mega Man Maker]]''.

== Level Builder ==
The Diarn is designated to the 6th [[layer]] of the editor (Close front), and as such, it can be placed over [[tiles]], as well as some [[Level Objects|level objects]]. It comes in two distinct colors which can be freely selected - a seafoam green, and a pinkish magenta, which will effect the color of the Diarn's jewel. Its attributes and abilities remain unchanged regardless of color.

== Behavior ==
After spawning, the Diarn's shell is initially closed, and as such, it is invulnerable to attack. It will instantly begin moving a distance of 3.5 tiles in a straight direction towards a randomly selected point near the [[player]]'s position (typically above them at a higher vantage point), and then open up to shine its jewel and fire a pellet projectile directly towards the player, which will travel in a straight line and pass through any terrain. After doing so, it will shut its shell and wait momentarily before repeating the pattern. If a Diarn in its shielded state is struck by any projectile from most [[weapons]], such as the [[Mega Buster]], it will simply reflect the attack and take no damage. As such, it can only be shot at and destroyed during the brief intervals in which it opens to fire its projectile.

* The Diarn's diamond shell is almost completely impenetrable, as traditional piercing [[weapons]] such as [[Laser Trident]] and [[Solar Blaze]] cannot bypass its defenses in any way, shape, or form.
** The [[Hyper Bomb]] and the [[Black Hole Bomb]] are, however, capable of destroying the Diarn in its shielded state, although these weapons are not classified as piercing.
