The '''Stone guardian''' is a monster in the series.

==Characteristics==
Stone guardians are powerful [[Material family|statues]] often charged with protecting the strongholds of Demon Lords. They have the appearance of solidly-built bearded men wearing togas that have been carved out of dark green stone, their eyes glowing with blue light. It is said that the statues were originally constructed with protecting innocent people before turning their loyalty to Demon Lords. They are able to crush opponents underneath their stony feet and even unleash powerful tremors by stomping on the ground. In some games such as ''VI'' and ''VIII'', the stone guardians have been carved out of an earthy grey stone instead of their usual dark green.

==Trivia==
*The Stone guardian's Japanese name {{translation|Daimajin|大魔神,|だいまじん}} is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Daimajin|Daimajin]], a series of Japanese films of the same name, first released in 1966. The films center around a wrathful mountain spirit sealed within a giant warrior statue that would come to life in times of desperation to punish evildoers. The stone guardian's monster description in various games often make reference to the films.
