Guardians are a diverse group of spirits coming in a wide variety of forms, though they're typically found in the shape of creatures associated with protection and fighting prowess, and occasionally humanoids. Despite their aggressive appearance, not all guardian spirits are inclined to direct confrontation. Many prefer to provide assistance and support to their summoner, though some are more than willing to directly engage in combat. The main commonality is all guardian spirits have some capacity and stomach for combat.
Just as they're diverse in appearance, they're diverse in temperament, motivations, and desires. These spirits tend to be direct, but may just as well follow complex rules of etiquette or speak entirely in riddles and questions. Despite complications in communication, guardian spirits are naturally inclined to service and will serve out their agreement the letter if not also the spirit.
