Temple Guardian

The Temple Guardian is a Hard Mode enemy that spawns if the player enters the jungle temple in a world where Plantera has not been killed. It will appear in order to kill the player as soon as the player is standing in front of natural Lihzahrd Brick Wall. In addition, it will also target any other players in the vicinity of the player who entered the jungle temple.

Due to its unattainably high attack and defense, the Temple Guardian will always take 1 damage from all attacks (except criticals, which deal 2 damage) and will kill any player in one hit unless they have the Master Ninja Gear or Black Belt which has a chance to dodge attacks. A player with max HP and the maximum Beetle Endurance Buff may survive one hit from this monster as well. Even if a temple guardian is killed, access is still not allowed in the dungeon as more and more guardians will appear each time you kill them.
