Idolaters are powerful humanoid entities commanded by the Witness, its Disciples and allies. They are nimble entities that wield powerful Scepters and Paracausal healing abilities.
Overview
Idolaters are thin and spindly vaguely humanoid constructs. They share similar appearance traits to Tormentors, Evocators and Subjugators with long arms and black claws with four fingers. Their skin appears to be made of the same material as objects found in Pyramid structures, including their arms being made from a similar glass-like material.
Like most of the Dread, the Idolaters are based on one of its Disciples from a race that the Witness had conquered in the past pulled from its memories and transfigured using the stolen Light of the Traveler.
Gameplay
Idolaters are powerful healer units that stick in the rear of enemy forces. Its main method of attack is firing blasts of 
Solar energy from its hand or Scepter. If a Guardian gets too close to melee them, they can use their Scepter as a melee weapon. Occasionally, they will thrust their Scepter upward to create a Well of Solar energy that seeks out allies within a short range of the Idolater that applies Cure to them. They can also slam their Scepter on the ground to create a pool of fire that applies Burn.
However, the most notable thing about Idolaters is their Healing capabilities. They can heal their allies through Restorative Spirit which sends a wisp of healing Solar energy to the nearest ally, granting them Restoration. They can also empower their allies with Radiant Blessing, which boosts their outgoing damage. These abilities will be indicated to the player when they begin to draw energy from their Scepter into their other hand which they will crush, dispersing the energy to all their allies in the vicinity. However, knowing which Healing ability it's casting is determined by a symbol above its Scepter which will be a Triangle for Restorative Spirit, a square for Radiant Blessing, and a Circle for Curing Harmony the Well of Energy that it has a significant telegraph for that it's casting this. This can be interrupted by either a powerful shot to an Idolater's Scepter, its Head, or certain Guardian abilities that 
suppress, 
freeze, or 
suspend.
