Golden Statues that seems to follow you
The Gold Watchers are recurring enemies in Dark Deception and a playable monster in Monsters & Mortals. They are among the many minions of the demon lord Malak and the guardians of The Manor, a realm housing the third of the ring pieces. The Watchers embody the souls of humans corrupted by greed and opulence, now encased in molten gold to burn for eternity. They viciously stalk and kill anyone who intrudes upon their realm, guarding the treasures of their lord.The Gold Watchers were former humans that were drawn to an opulent manor, likely crafted by Malak. Fitting for their insatiable desire for wealth, these greedy humans were forever encased in gold, all of them taking on the form of aristocratic males wearing periwinkle grey 18th-century French uniforms, complete with a strap, bowtie, cravat, and tricorn hat, with intricate patterns of gold woven on them. Scattered all over the manor are plaques that say things like "Peasants shall serve," and "He who has gold makes the rules," showing how, despite their new form, their insatiable avarice and their negative view of the less-wealthy remains constant, perhaps even amplified. Initially appearing with empty eye sockets and broad smiles, Gold Watchers at first appear to be stationary (as long as they are not being looked at), stuck in saluting, pointing, waving, and shushing poses, at times taunting and laughing at whoever they are hunting. Occasionally, however, their façade slips, with their faces cracked, eye sockets widened, and mouths opened wide and extending downwards, revealing large, blocky teeth as they brandish a pair of axes that seemed to come out of nowhere. Upon catching an unfortunate soul, a Gold Watcher would also contort its face in this manner before chopping their victim with one or two axes, though others would relish the moment and grab their victim to laugh right in their face before killing them, showing off their gleeful, sadistic side. The Gold Watchers are insane, sadistic, and deeply greedy entities, embodying souls corrupted by opulence. Gold Watchers only more when not being watched. They more at quick speeds and can teleport. They are Loyal to Malak.
