Rambunctious, [[Material family|rocky]] warriors that tirelessly guard the deepest and darkest caves for some unknown reason that even they've most likely forgotten. 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. Forged in only the sturdiest stone as effigies to dark deities, it's hard to bring these solid soldiers to ruin. It is said that the statues were originally constructed with protecting innocent people before turning their loyalty to Demon Lords. They spend endless years stamping around in the darkness, causing rock falls and tremors that they then level against any lackluster intruders. 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.

==Etymology==
The stone guardian's Japanese name [[Wikipedia:Daimajin|Daimajin]] (だいまじん) is a reference to 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 bestiary descriptions in various games often make reference to the films.

The Stone guardian is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series. It is a stone statue often constructed and infused with mighty spirits to guard the lairs of Demon Lords.

Characteristics

Rambunctious, rocky warriors that tirelessly guard the deepest and darkest caves for some unknown reason that even they've most likely forgotten. 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. Forged in only the sturdiest stone as effigies to dark deities, it's hard to bring these solid soldiers to ruin. It is said that the statues were originally constructed with protecting innocent people before turning their loyalty to Demon Lords. They spend endless years stamping around in the darkness, causing rock falls and tremors that they then level against any lackluster intruders. 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.

Appearances

Etymology

The stone guardian's Japanese name Daimajin (だいまじん) is a reference to 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 bestiary descriptions in various games often make reference to the films.
