Skeletal Defender

Skeletal Defenders are monsters unique to the Infernal Shrines battleground.

Gameplay
Periodically the shrines gather magical energy. When a hero activates it, Skeletal Defenders appear. The Skeletal Defenders spawn in 0.15 second intervals until 10 monsters exist. From that point, a 5-second timer starts, which triggers another Skeletal Defender spawn. The first team to kill 40 of them will summon a Punisher for their team. Punishers will go after enemy heroes first, using everything in their arsenal to wreak havoc.
