Nazarick Old Guarder

Nazarick Old Guarders (ナザリック・オールドガーダー) are a special class of undead that spawn automatically from the Great Tomb of Nazarick's dungeon defense system. They also have two sub-classes, Nazarick Elder Guarder and Master Guarder.
== Appearance ==
Nazarick Old Guarders are skeletons that wear elaborate breastplates and are armed with the paraphernalia of weaponry.
== Background ==
Nazarick Old Guarders originally served as dungeon guards of the Great Tomb of Nazarick. After the tomb was relocated to the New World, the Guarders became the foundations of Nazarick's growing military might.     
== Chronology ==
=== The Lizard Man Heroes Arc ===
After Cocytus' failure in annihilating the Lizardmen Alliance of the Great Lake, Ainz decided, through the convincing of Cocytus and Demiurge, to change his plan from destruction to occupation. Thus he called forth three thousand Nazarick Old Guarders to the battlefield, to awe the primitive demi-humans with a pure show of might. They then used their bodies to make a bridge for Ainz and the Floor Guardians to prevent them from getting dirty from the swamp water.Overlord Volume 04 Chapter 4: The Dawn of Despair

When the Pleiades confronted Dragon Hunt, Yuri Alpha summoned several Old Guarders per Cocytus' orders. The idea was that the Workers would flee and for the Pleiades to follow them, giving them experience in chasing. However, Dragon Hunt's leader, Parpatra Ogrion, saw that there was no escaping and instead chose to face them, even though he misinterpreted them to be the strongest beings in Nazarick. As a result, the Old Guarders easily dispatched Green Leaf while the Pleiades watched on in boredom.Overlord Volume 07 Chapter 3: The Large Tomb

== Abilities ==
The Guarders possess items with various magic effects, equipped with magic armors and shields.

Particularly, magic weapons like their hammers are imbued with lightning. They even carry quivers and compound bows on their backs.
