The specific instructions are: This render doesn't match up with original game. The problem is:
- The arm texture of the Royal Guard is bugged.
The Royal Guard is a heavily-armored variant of the vindicator that wields a shield and a mace found in Minecraft Dungeons.
Appearance
The Royal Guard is a Diamond Armored Vindicator wearing Dark Armor with yellow outlines on the helmet and sleeves, and with a sapphire gem. It carries a shield with a yellow cross-like pattern, and a mace.
Spawning
- Highblock Halls
- Underhalls
- Obsidian Pinnacle
- Lone Fortress
- Windswept Peaks
- Colossal Rampart
- Gale Sanctum
Behavior
The Royal Guard is usually protected by their heavy armor and their shield and mace. The shield should be destroyed first, so the player can damage it.
The Royal Guard is slower than most mobs, but extremely strong, capable of dealing heavy damage to the player. The Royal Guards are the praetorian guards of the Arch-Illager and they protect him at all costs. Their health pool is more larger than the gold armored vindicator and they do more melee damage. They still can be stunned by normal attack.
In this sense, they are the illager equivalent of Skeleton Vanguards, except they use maces instead of glaives.

Trivia
- Sometimes, the Creepy Crypt and Panda Plateau can generate the skeleton with the Royal Guard's equipment. When the player clicks on it, the skeleton disappears and then, waves of skeletons are summoned around it. After the waves have been defeated, the player gets a chest reward, but still can't take the Dark Armor and the shield.
