Guardian

Guardians are masked protectors of the Minor Erdtrees and of the Erdtree in Leyndell, Royal Capital. They fight with swordspears carved from old, hard wood, and branches grow out of their backs. Some are in full bloom, with red flowers on those branches, and there is also a putrid variant.

You meet them on the Weeping Peninsula, in Liurnia of the Lakes, on the Altus Plateau, in the Capital Outskirts and in Leyndell itself.
