Moss Guardians are the guardian spirits of Glarial's Tomb, and are significantly larger and stronger than ordinary moss giants. They are encountered during the Waterfall Quest when the player enters the tomb to obtain Glarial's amulet, and must later be killed during the Roving Elvesquest to obtain the consecration seed. They can only be fought unarmed, as it is impossible to take weapons, armour, ammunition or runes into the tomb.
They cause a magical splashing effect when they attack. Their attacks first roll against the player's Melee defence to do melee damage. If that accuracy roll fails, it rolls against the player's Magic defence to do magical damage.[1] Players can use Protect from Melee to avoid damage from their successful melee attacks, but damage from their magic attacks will still bypass Protect from Magic.
