'''Tomb Guardians''' are magically induced #REDIRECT [[Skeleton#Tomb Guardian]]s that are [[caster|spellcasters]] themselves, able to raise new warriors without the help of a [[Necromancer]] or other [[demon]]ic magician.
Tomb Guardians are [[Undead]] [[Monster]]s. {{Monsterbox|game= Diablo III|portrait= Mon-skeletal-summoner5.jpg<!--|portrait-width= 200px--><!--|name= Monstername-->|classif= Undead|family= Skeleton|role= Caster, Summoner|life= Unknown|mana= Unknown|armor= Unknown|resist= Unknown|armament= None|dps= Unknown|dmg_low= Unknown|dmg_high= Unknown|range= [[Melee]]|speed= Medium|movement= Medium|modifier= None|spells= Summon Skeleton<br>Purple Projectile|found= [[Tristram Cathedral]]<br>[[Leoric Highlands]]}} ==Diablo III Monster==These [[skeleton]] version of [[caster]]s spawn with packs of [[Skeletal Archer]]s and [[Skeletal Shieldman|Skeletal Shieldmen]] for protection. The Tomb Guardians are larger than regular skeletons, and have glowing purple/pink orbs around their upper bodies. These may be shields, decoration, or an indication what type of elemental damage they deal. During battle the summoners stay to the rear of their foot soldiers, where they keep busy summoning fresh skeletons, or hurling purple projectiles at any players who stray into range. Their summoning animation is interesting; in the [[WWI 2008]] [[gameplay movie]] they were seen shooting a purple laser beam from each eye. The beams travelled some distance, then converged and dove into the ground, causing a new skeleton to rise up a second later. It's not known if they have the ability to buff their skeleton followers or only summon new ones. ===Spells and Abilities===* '''Summon Skeleton''' - The Summoner shoots a purple laser beam from each eye, which travels some distance and dive into the ground, causing a new [[skeleton]] to rise up a second later.* '''Purple Projectile''' - Attack spell of some unknown kind. <!--===Known X Types===Use on a "family" monster article.* Can be used in "Goatman" or the like* Display the different types of enemies, like weapon/equipment carried, or behaviour difference.* Examplecategory: Warrior, Archer, Mage--> <!--===Known Subtypes===Use on a a "family" monster article, or a "sub-family" monster article.* Can be used in "Goatman" or the like* Can be used in "Goatman Shaman" or the like* Use for things like clan/colouring of same type of enemy* Example: Moon Clan, Blood Clan, Death Clan--> ===Related Monsters===* [[Skeleton]]* [[Skeletal Archer]]* [[Skeletal Executioner]]* [[Skeletal Shieldman]]* [[Tomb Guardian]] <!--===Famous Monsters===List any "character" monster, such as King Leoric for skeletons and the Butcher for Overlords.--> ==Background==Tomb Guardians are regular [[Skeleton]]s, but also [[caster]]s. This additional power requires the [[Necromancer]] or [[demon]] summoning the skeleton to use a summoning spell of significantly more power. Using the bones of a deceased [[Sorcerer]] will make the Skeletal Summoner more powerful. However, it's sometimes harder to corrupt the bones of a powerful individual.
