A Crystal Warrior was a type of Construct (similar to a Golem).
Description[]
A crystal warrior was hewn from pure crystal, mostly in the shape of a human warrior with a helmet. Because of their construction, their silhouettes were very stylized.
Crystal warriors are usually left in a certain key area, where they could hold any intruders. They could be instructed to memorise up to two faces or recognise a certain symbol, which allowed passage. Others unable to identify themselves were eventually attacked.[1]
Origins and Distribution[]
Crystal warriors were usually created by powerful sorcerers or warlocks as guardians for their lairs. They were animated via a lengthy and complex ritual;[2] that and their laborius construction usually meant that any one magician had only one or two at their beck and call. More powerful beings, however, were known to have even larger numbers of them at their disposal.[3]
Special Abilities[]
The structure of Crystal Warriors made them very tough opponents. Next to their durability, their crystal bodies were virtually immune to edged weapons, such as swords and axes. Only blunt weapons with strong heads, for example maces or warhammers, had any chance of damaging them.[4]
Other Media[]
Crystal Warriors appeared in the Fighting Fantasy novel "Skullcrag" of The Zagor Chronicles series.[5]
