An Abyssal guardian is a monster that dwells in the Abyss, and also in the Abyssal Area. Abyssal guardians can hit fairly high for their level with melee (up to 111), though they have low defence, and are fairly inaccurate. Abyssal guardians primarily attack with melee, but can also use magic-based ranged attacks. Their ranged attacks are stronger than their melee attacks, with a max hit of 150, but less accurate, even against players wearing plate armour; these tend to do less damage overall. If the player initiates combat, they will use only the ranged attack; otherwise, they will use only melee. However, as they have a very fast reaction time while aggressive, players will usually see the ranged attack only after they become tolerant, or when they stop being aggressive at level 119 combat.
Habitat

Trivia
- Abyssal guardians' heads have different sides, each representing a happy, angry, sad, and dead face. When it is idling, its happy face is at the front; when it is attacking, it will turn its angry face to the front; when it is being attacked, it will turn its sad face to the front; and when its health is reduced to zero, it will turn its dead face to the front before it dies.
- Its head may be a reference to pyramid head from the game and movie Silent Hill
