Guards

This is a list of Guards found in the Sly Cooper series. These guards usually work for the local boss and will attack Sly and the rest of the gang (including Carmelita) on sight. In Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus, the guard's behavior is fairly automated and simple, and most guards are defeated with one hit. In Sly 2: Band of Thieves and Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves, however, the guards seem to become more intelligent, as well as being more difficult to defeat. They are able to detect Sly if he is within their line of sight or makes a loud enough noise, and will chase him if he is spotted. It takes many hits to defeat them.

There are three types of guards in most worlds:

• Rooftop Guards
• Flashlight Guards
• Patrol Guard

Trivia

• In Sly 2 all the second rooftop guards seem to have reused animations, except on the last episode, where there is only one type of rooftop guard.
• In Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time in Medieval England, Robot Wolf guard mention the name Kraemer. Mat Kraemer is the lead designer of the game.
• In Thieves in Time, the Gungathal Valley guards are all extinct animals. 
• In the bonus commentary for A Rocky Start, one of the designers and animators said he had pet names for most of the guards, and these pet names soon became the aliases for the guards in the Binocucom.
