Guardian (enemy)

Guardian is a recurring enemy and boss in the Final Fantasy series. It is typically shown as a robotic enemy, though this is not always the case, but is often quite powerful.

Final Fantasy

Final Fantasy III

Final Fantasy V


The Guardian is a palette swap of Soul Cannon fought in the Sealed Temple in the Advance release. It battles with two Wave Cannon attachments.

Final Fantasy VI


The Guardian is a unique enemy in that it can be fought several times but cannot be killed. As the pinnacle of Magitek machinery, it guards the Imperial Palace in Vector, and later guards entrance to the city after the Magitek Factory is invaded. Kefka brings an escort of Guardians to Thamasa, but dispatches them shortly after arriving. In all of these battles, the Guardian is physically impossible to damage and serves to prevent the player from leaving or entering an area, as it only attacks the party when they attempt to pass it. The Guardian appears at the summit of Kefka's Tower as the final boss before the Warring Triad. Here it is finally vulnerable to damage and mimics the battle techniques of previous bosses.

Final Fantasy VII


The Guardian is a normal enemy fought in the Junon Underwater Reactor.
