Protectors are extraplanar guardians of law that appear as very noble and regal creatures. They are often sent to the Material Plane when the forces of chaos swing from the balance. Protectors move by means of their air walk ability; their feet never touch the ground, and they always float 6 to 10 inches above the ground. A protector stands 7 feet tall and weighs about 200 pounds or more.
Protectors attack neutral (except non-intelligent or low-intelligence creatures such as animals) and chaotic creatures on sight. They never knowingly and willingly attack lawful creatures. A protector fights with its longsword and spells.
