Elder Guardian

Elder Guardians are Hostile Mobs that were added in Update 0.16.0. They spawn in Ocean Monuments.

Attack
The Elder Guardian has two attack methods. The first method is to attack using a laser beam, and the second is to use the spikes on its body. The Elder Guardian also inflicts the Mining Fatigue Status Effect on nearby Players. This is also known as being 'cursed' by some Players.

TRIVIA

 * Elder Guardians are considered a 'boss' by some Players, and are widely accepted as a mini-boss.
 * In Minecraft: Pocket Edition, Elder Guardians have the third-highest health of any Mob, only being outranked by the Wither with 300 health and the Iron Golem with 100.
 * They are the runner-up for the hostile mob with the highest health, due to the Iron Golem not being aggressive.
 * Elder Guardians, similar to Guardians, will also attack Squids with their laser beams.
