Armadylean guards are aviansie that appear and attack the player when doing coordinate steps of elite clue scrolls. They call out "No warning! Begone!" upon appearing.
The guard will spawn upon digging at the correct coordinates, and must be defeated in order to advance in the Treasure Trail. Like the aviansie found in the God Wars Dungeon, the guard is flying too high to be attacked using melee, and must instead be defeated by means of ranged, magic or a salamander. Since the guard only uses ranged attacks, Protect from Missiles will prevent all damage.
After defeating the guard, the player must dig at the same spot again, and will be allowed to do so unhindered.
On clue scroll steps where the Armadylean guard can appear, alternatively a Bandosian guard may appear in its place.

- All treasure trail combat NPCs now cannot prevent a player from being attacked by a player inside a single combat zone of the wilderness.
- All treasure trail combat NPCs now also do not allow a player to be attacked by several players at once in a single combat zone.

Trivia
- There is currently a glitch where the guard's death cry is heard twice. The second cry happens when the drop appears, as the drop seems to have a small delay.
- Despite being an aviansie, killing an Armadylean guard does not count toward an aviansie Slayer task.
