I just encountered an interesting artifact guardian around level 45 of the CoC. Trulk, the horrible Dorn Beast. Was guarding Hammer of the Gods :S Kind of amusing when the guardian is more interesting than what it's guarding.

What guardians have you guys encountered before?

Pretty generic stuff. Have never had a surge that far down, though.
You drop the golden ball.
You kick the golden ball. It slides to the west.
Suddenly Harry Potter, the apprentice wizard, appears! "That's not how you play Quidditch! are you even listening?"
Which direction? (123456789) 4
Harry Potter, the apprentice wizard, is hit by a bolt of acid! Harry Potter, the apprentice wizard, is annihilated.
You hear the ecstatic cries of a large crowd!

puppy cave i had an gargoyle guardian once, not very strong so the artifact was something that i sacced. I cant remember what it was, i guess it wasnt very good useful so it pleased my god

I had a Jarl guardian once which is interesting because he'd be a contender for the uber Jarl who would be king ( read the monster info) but he only had the thunderstroke so it wouldnt do him much use against the rest of his kind

That's interesting gravel, I also once encountered a named Frost Giant Jarl as an artifact guardian for the artifact quarrel... I wonder if some are preset for each artifact. Also ran into a... named mimic was it... guarding the Crown of Leadership?

Preset guardians? Now that deserves some study, here's my two cents. Sadly, I don't remember the funny names, but I do remember a large snake (!) guarding the Ring of Immunity, and a hell hound guarding the Skullcrusher. The former in CoC, the latter in Druid Dungeon! (Early artifact got that char going for a while, before YASDing to an Ogre Magus in the PC.)

Dark elven priestess guarding Preserver. That's what I remember...

I remember having a chaos spider in the pyramid guarding the hammer of gods, Suuk the babbling mouther in PC guarding the emerald dagger and a will o' wisp in CoC guarding the Robes of resistance if my memory serves me right ...I can't see any pattern there. Guardians seem to be always random monsters.

Gravel, the frost giant jarl, I don't remember his name, it was different from the one you mentioned. I met him in DH2.

It was a green or annis hag that was guarding emerald dagger once.
Also a hill orc + scorched spear, and a caveman + skullcrusher I think.

Yeah you'll love it when an Acid Vortex artifact guardian in DH2 does 250 damage to you.

I remember a shambling mound (whatever is represented by a big brown 'P') in the top floor of the toef.

looking over the death stats later, and the 17 artifacts generated, the robes of resistance was the only one I couldn't account for, so that must have been what he was guarding.

Top floor of the ToEF... wow, what a strange location. I guess they really can spawn ANYWHERE.

What would be really funny, if one spawned on the chaos plane with Andor Drakon
