Gold Guardian is a DLC quest monster can be encountered after accepting the quest "Slay the Gold Guardians" in all dungeons. Once the quest is completed, that is to say when 5 Gold Guardians have been defeated, no Gold Guardians appear until the quest is accepted again.
Like the Pooka and the Red Pooka, it only takes one point of damage for all attacks. However, since it doesn't have much HP it can be defeated faster with fixed damage, like Blowback Sigil or Poison. Since it drops several hundred en when it is killed as well as items that can sell for a lot of money, especially the Nugget, it is the easiest way to farm money. However, when it dies by exploding with Failsafe System, it drops nothing and does not count for the quest.
This monster is a Normal type monster.
