Description First appearance: Doom 3 (2004)

There are lots of things hiding in hell, things not even the Hierarchy knows about, one of these mysterious points of interest are these large temples that were built by an ancient species long ago, built possibly thousands, millions, or even billions of years ago. These temples house artifacts with varying magic abilities, and they remain unguarded, free for the taking for any visitor, however there's one item in these temples that nobody can have, the Soulcube.

In its holding room, the Soulcube is sealed in an magic energy shield, this shield is tied to the soul of its Guardian, in which if it dies, the shield is deactivated, however slaying the Guardian is easier said than done. The Guardian is a monstrous, arcane, reptilian beast that will do anything in its power to keep the Soulcube out of the hands of anyone who dares to take it, and it has lots of power to back it up, both physical and magical.

For their physical abilities, Guardians can use their mace-hands to smash any thief in their vicinity, they can also use their maces to create small shockwaves to knock their smaller foes down to the ground, Guardians can also use their tail-mallets to cause similar amounts of damage. Despite their clumsy appearance, Guardians are actually athletic and almost graceful at times, especially for their size, as they're capable of things like; Jumping long distances, spinning at high speeds without getting disoriented, and being able to run for miles without tiring.

For their magical abilities, Guardians can shoot pure, concentrated Hell-Energy from their maw, shooting in short bursts or long beams, they can also conjure a large, red/orange ball of plasma from their blackened, blind eye, this orb slowly goes through the room with it's energy tendrils searching for victims to atomize, and if it makes contact with hard surfaces, it will explode in a violent flash of red. Now, Guardians themselves can't actually see what they're doing, as previously mentioned they are blind, they only have their hearing and smell to go off of, however due to their elder, slowly withering age they're not as good as they used to be, so they need to summon their own seeing eyes, these are the Seekers.

The Seekers, well, see for the Guardians, these floating creatures will hunt down trespassers in the Soulcube room, once sighted by them, the Guardian will be alerted of their presence and will go on the attack.
