Water Guardian

The Guardian of the Water Temple is a young human female who looks suspiciously familiar, but alone, she realises that she's not much of a match for anyone who'd want to challenge her for the Crystal, so she has help from her loyal steed, which is a... uh... I have no idea what it is. But she's had it as a pet since they were both small.
Encyclopaedia description

Water Guardian is an enemy in MARDEK.

Appearance[]

The Water Guardian looks like Emela Andra Wu-Jardu. She wears an all blue outfit and wields a Sage's Wand.

Her steed appears to be an amalgam of aquatic species, mostly made of a crab/lobster and a leafy sea dragon. Judging by the description, it is likely that Pseudolonewolf never actually came up with a name for it.

Notes[]

Starts battle with Auto-Haste.
On the first turn, the attack will be from the Beast, one of Tsunami, Inversion:Water, Hydro Claw or Empty Claw.
On the second turn, the attack will be from Emela, one of Bubble, Flame, Lightning Bolt, Stonesplosion or Silence.
Mega Barrier can be used by either character, though the animation implies it is cast by Emela.

Trivia[]

The Water Guardian's steed appears to be derived from a lobster or crab (claws and shell), Tadpole (tail), some sort of fish (possibly a ray), and specifically a leafy sea dragon (head).
One end-battle strategy is to have Mardek Morality Block on the Water Guardian so that the Light spell Mega Barrier she can cast on herself will be nullified, and hence she cannot protect herself with Shield and Magic Shield for the rest of the battle. Of course, you won't want to use Light attacks on her while she is Morality Blocked.
The fight with the Water Guardian is one of the two in the game where Legion can learn Tsunami. Seeing as the other one is Karnos, the player will probably want to expend another round of Oxyale to leave the Water Temple to recruit Legion, then come back and use him in the fight. The same logic goes for the Earth Guardian and Fire Guardian, though both of their moves can be learned from the more accessible Bone Demon so there isn't quite the same level of urgency as for learning Tsunami.
