A variant of the Moss Guardian can be encountered within the Nightmare Zone after completion of Roving Elves.

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.

In Endurance mode, 1,426 reward points are earned upon defeating the normal difficulty version, and 7,595 reward points are earned upon defeating the hard difficulty version.
