This simple data pack adds naturally generating Ruined Guardians from Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. There are eight variants depending on what biome they generate in – Mossy, Sandy, Red Sandy, Gravel, Muddy, Snowy, Flower, Pale, and Sculk – and they can generate in every overworld biome.<\/p>\n

Each type comes in three sizes. Small is most common and consists of just the head and body, Medium is slightly larger and has 4 legs, and Large has all eight legs. The Large variants are rarer than the other two, and have a single Ancient Debris hidden inside. In the Deep Dark, the Medium variant also has an Ancient Debris since it’s usually harder to find them. The Sandy and Gravel variants have suspicious sand\/gravel with iron nuggets inside (just pretend they’re ancient screws).<\/p>\n

The Ruined Guardian structures are based on **FlamingMoai**’s design.<\/p>\n
