Diffuser is an enemy from Space Invaders Infinity Gene, and the first unexpected enemy encountered by the player (although Sol can honorarily be considered the first.) Diffusers fly from the bottom of the screen in intangible state, spewing numerous invaders and invader shots out at the player. When first encountered, Diffuser has high health, but in later stages their health is drastically decreased.
A motif of Selection (-1) stages past 2-1 is to feature groups of Diffusers flying onto screen, spewing a handful of invaders, and flying into the distance.
Inspiration[]
To "diffuse" is to spread out over a large area, like the invaders it spawns do.
