Flashlight guards are enemies that appear in all four games of the Sly Cooper series. As their name suggests, they patrol the ground and use flashlights to help them see. All have some kind of projectile weapon, like guns or throwing knives. In Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus, flashlight guards can be killed with one whack of Sly's cane. These guards' attacks never miss unless blocked by some object, like a wall.
