The Shell Guardian stands as one of the most intimidating creatures within the Alien Horde — a living fortress engineered to halt even the most advanced human military units. Covered in dense bio-armor and equipped with a naturally grown shield plate, this creature is designed to withstand extreme kinetic force. Shotgun blasts, plasma bolts, fragmentation explosives — the Shell Guardian absorbs them all while continuing its inexorable march forward.

Legends from battlefield survivors describe the eerie way these creatures lock their stance, digging their claws into the ground before bracing for impact. Once they anchor themselves, even armored vehicles struggle to push them back. When the Shell Guardian counter-attacks, it delivers explosive bursts of raw muscle force, crushing bones and armor with equal ease.

What makes them especially dangerous is their cooperative defense intelligence. Multiple Guardians synchronize shield positions, creating overlapping armor zones — forming a moving wall of living protection around hive elites or high-value alien structures.

On the tabletop, the Shell Guardian excels as a tank, boss defender, or elite shielded warrior. Whether holding choke points, escorting leaders, or absorbing overwhelming fire, this creature transforms any battlefield into a brutal, grinding warzone.
