Description
The Ancient Stone Guard at first appears to be a regular statue, until it starts moving. It is severely damaged and weather and storm has left it's mark, leaving the guardian with only a fraction of it's original power. However, no matter what wear or tear the statue may face, it's core will always be in pristine condition. The guardian obediently follows the will of it's master, even if said master is long dead or their wishes defy the Ancient Stone Guard's alignment. If the Ancient Stone Guard has no mission, it stands perfectly still and will only move when it's master returns. Some statues throughout the world are actually Ancient Stone Guards who's masters never returned.
