Guardian (Final Fantasy VI)

The Guardian is a machine in Final Fantasy VI created to defend the Imperial Palace in Vector. It is indestructable, and the only way to get around it is to run away. Of course, that does not allow anyone to pass the Guardian. Players first encounter this enemy if they try to access the Imperial Palace on their first visit to Vector. They can encounter it again if they try to enter Vector after destroying the Magitek Research Facility and if they try to leave Thamasa while controlling General Leo Christophe. In Kefka's Tower, another Guardian appears, but this one can, and must, be defeated.
