“	“A soldier who has been turned into a stone statue. He moves and attacks if touched by Link. He has a fair amount of attacking power.”
	— Manual, The Legend of Zelda

     An armos knight has a body comprised almost entirely of stone in the shape of an armored humanoid, animated by tireless magic. As a nonliving sentry, an armos knight remains dormant wherever its master or its creator has placed it. In many cases, an armos knight will stay on-guard for centuries or longer, remaining as motionless as the stone statue it resembles. One is often hidden among inanimate statues which are indistinguishable from them.

     Aggressive Sentry. An armos knight is specifically designed to resemble a humanoid warrior and wields stone weaponry as long-lasting and enduring as its body. When a living creature enters the area guarded by the armos knight or dares to touch it directly, the knight springs to life with the sole intent to slay any and all invaders. Although it will chase down fleeing invaders, it almost never willingly leaves the area it intends to guard.
     Constructed Nature. The armos knight doesn't require air, food, water, or sleep.
     Environment: Hills, Ruins, Urban
