(This was a remake of my old royal guard design)

https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Minecraft_Dungeons:Royal_Guard

The Royal Guard is a heavily-armored variant of the vindicator that wields a shield and a mace found in Minecraft Dungeons. The royal guards are the praetorian guards of the Arch-Illager and they protect him at all costs.

The royal guard is a diamond armored vindicator wearing dark armor with yellow outlines on the helmet and sleeves and a sapphire gem. It carries a shield with a yellow cross-like pattern and a mace.

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. Their health pool is 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.

Thanks, Sans is Justified and Punny for fixing pages 2 and 3!!!!!
