Steelhead (Japanese: ヨロイビト Yoroibito) are characters from Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs. They are found in the past and are members of the Pokémon Pinchers in the present, where they are controlled by the Societea and Purple Eyes. They are first encountered in the Oblivia Ruins, where they are keeping Leanne and Nema hostage. They are then seen on Mt. Layuda and in the Air Fortress. There are also two Steelhead guards when Kasa is escorted into the inner part of the Oblivia Ruins. It is later revealed that the Steelhead in the present are just Pinchers wearing armor, but the armor eventually takes control of their minds.

The Steelhead have a unique type of armor that has the ability to turn evil thoughts into raw power and the ability to control Pokémon. There is also a set of golden armor that gives the wearers immortality.

In the past, the Steelhead are human oracles that can control Pokémon using their armor. Kira and Tanvir were once oracles but gave up after their fighting caused the Pokémon to fight as well.
