The Shyeld (A new tamable mob in the Nether)

Hi, I've had this idea for a mob that would spawn in the basalt delta biome. It's called the Shyeld! (Shy+Shield)

What is "The Shyeld"?

The Shyeld would be a new tamable mob in Basalt Delta biome. It would be the size of a block, it would have 4 shields surrounding it (about the size of a trapdoor), and would not attack the player if attacked. It would occasionally poke its head out its body (Almost like a turtle shell) to look around. It would be able to float to almost any height but prefers to float at least one block above the ground.You would tame it using magma cream. You would have to sneak towards them to give it the magma cream, if you don't, it would feel threatened.

  Cool! Honestly this is a good idea, but what would its use be? Would it protect you from damage like an actual shield would?

  Verdict: Idea has potential, and I have voted for it, but please go into detail as to the use of the mob.

  Other details

  • The Shyeld would have five hearts, but will only take damage when it's head or body is exposed. It can be healed by giving it magma cream.
  • The Shyeld wouldn’t take fire damage and can also float over lava.
  • The Shyeld would be able to extend its shields up to 2 blocks away from its body.
  • The shields would leave the body (leaving a small trail of smoke behind, also leaving itself exposed to attack), for about 5 seconds then the shield would come back to its body.
  • When it feels threatened nearby mobs. It would spin around rapidly, extending its shields, pushing most nearby mobs away. Followed by it quickly getting away.
  • If it was tamed The Shyeld would follow the player around.
  • If the player is being attacked The Shyeld would use it shields to protect (Using its shields to protect you) giving the player time to run, attack, or eat.
  • It will move all 4 of its shields in front of you (Protecting you from damage), when the shield is attacked, they will be deactivated and would go back to its body (Giving it 10 seconds)
  • When protecting the player, The Shyeld can be subject to attack.
  • When the player wants The Shyeld to sit, they just have to right click and The Shyeld would slowly fall to the ground, where it would sit and look around.
  • If exposed to water, The Shyeld would slowly take damage. (If submerged, the damage would happen a lot faster) (It would try it's best to avoid water)
  • If you killed it it wouldn't drop anything, but it dies while defending you it can drop its shields
