Dungeon Guardian

The Dungeon Guardian is an enemy of the dungeon. If a player tries to break into the dungeon without killing Skeletron, this enemy will appear and kill him as soon as the dungeon music starts. In previous versions, Skeletron Heads were used instead of these.

Before the Dungeon Guardian existed, killing all the Skeletron Heads was another way to gain access to the dungeon, so the Dungeon Guardian was created to circumvent this unintentional behavior.

If killed in Multiplayer (It is attacking an Admin who has God Mode on) it takes 1 damage from all sources and 2 damage on a crit. It drops nothing on death.
