Dragonshard Guardian
CREATURE 22Created by Mengkare and powered by a shard of the Orb of Gold Dragonkind, this construct is made of sculpted crystal draped in a beautiful gold filigree frame.
A constant spell affects the monster without the monster needing to cast it, and its duration is unlimited. If a constant spell gets counteracted, the monster can reactivate it by spending the normal spellcasting actions the spell requires.
