Atesh Guardian

The Atesh Guardian was a monster defeated by the Party during their exploration of the Atesh Sanctum.

Appearance
The Guardian stood significantly taller than any member of the Party. It had black, soulless eyes, four large, slashing arms, and a thick carapace that provided excellent defense against all forms of attack.

Background
According to the Custodian of the sanctum, the Guardian was placed there as a defensive measure by Baltazar Turan, to guard the inner sanctum and its secrets against would be plunderers. Apparently this worked, as the Custodian told the party that in the time since the sanctum's construction, none had defeated the Guardian, as evidenced by the fact that it was still there. The Guardian itself is the soulless body of an aberration from the Void.

Abilities
The Guardian had the ability to force terror directly into the minds of its opponents. It could also unleash a flurry of blows from its scything talons, and jump great heights and distances despite its massive bulk.
