Elder Guardian

An elder guardian is a large hostile mob and a variant of the guardian. It is the largest and strongest aquatic mob. It attacks the same way as a normal guardian, and it also applies Mining Fatigue to players in a large radius around itself. They are only found in ocean monuments; three of them generate in each one.

Three elder guardians spawn naturally during the generation of each ocean monument:

They are spawned with the ocean monument and thus they do not respawn.
