Ironhide

Impenetrable outer covering

Ironhide describes an animal's tough, thick skin, or figuratively, a person who seems impervious to criticism, insult, or emotional injury: Nothing fazes her—she's got an ironhide.

The term also appears as a proper noun for fictional characters, most notably the Autobot warrior in the Transformers franchise.
