Guardian(Wobblerian) is a species known for their Passive sentinels; central to the Wobblerian's death-and-memory cycle. Its Origin is Wobblerian, and it is typically found in Wobblerian (Surface).
Overview
The Guardians are massive, crystalline beings found scattered across the surface of Wobblerian. Encrusted in dense, faceted plating that thickens with age, they appear at rest to be little more than outcroppings of stone or vast geological formations. They can see, hear, and are believed to possess some form of smell, but rarely react to anything in their environment. A Guardian may briefly lift its head at the approach of a visitor before settling back into stillness — sunning itself, or resting, seemingly indifferent to the world around it. Only a direct threat will provoke a response, at which point the creature's true strength and near-impenetrable defenses become apparent.
Origins
When a Wobblerianer dies and is re-merged into the primordial mother, it is believed that their Spirit is reincarnated into a Guardian. Unlike the deliberate rebirth undergone by living Wobblerianer seeking a new form, this process is neither chosen nor guided; it is simply what happens to the dead. What, if anything, of the original person's mind or memory persists within a Guardian is unknown — they do not speak, and make no obvious attempt to communicate beyond their low hum.
A Guardians long life ends only with its own natural death, at which point the crystal at its core is harvested and returned to the primordial mass, expanding its capacity to store the memories and knowledge of the Wobblerian people. This is considered a natural part of the planet's cycle — the Guardian serving, in effect, as a slow intermediary step between an individual life and the collective memory that follows it. Harvesting a Guardian's crystal before its natural death is exceedingly rare, and not something the Wobblerians readily condone.
