Cheetahs who can't turn their heads.
You guys had a riot? On account of me? A real riot?

You know, there is just a TV series just waiting for Joss, "Nutty The Cheetah Slayer".

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm thinking a sitcom about a family of cheetahs. Being raised by a single mom cheetah. Who works as an Imperial Guard for the Emporer.
In the pilot: the cheetah kittens get into mom's Sharpies....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
IIRC, cheetahs find prey by sight, not smell, so if you did remove their ability to look around, Nutty might just get the advantage.

Cats in general have a wider field of view than dogs or humans.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
So you had to share?
I'm a very giving person.

Pretty sure they'd trip on the robes.
Nother wave of vile. Time to go lie down.

Besides, how often do the Imperial guards need to look around? Granted, they'd have a hard time seeing if some assasin was coming out of the elevator (since they're standing at either side of the elevator door, at the Emporer), but presumably there would be security at the elevator entrance on the other floors.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
So, the secret to my winning is to make all the cheetahs wear blindfolds or blinkers. Check.
I saw a TV show once that proved how bad lions' sense of smell is by dangling a raw steak on a string above a lion's head. The poor dumb lion just sat there, sunning itself, till the person doing the dangling finally bonked the lion on the head with the steak to make it notice its dinner.
