Stone guardian is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series.

Characteristics[]

The stone guardian is a rambunctious, rocky warriors that tirelessly guard the deepest and darkest caves for some unknown reason that even they've most likely forgotten. Forged in only the sturdiest stone, it's hard to bring these solid soldiers to ruin. They spend endless years stamping around in the darkness, causing rock falls and tremors that they then level against any lackluster intruders.
