Stone Knight

Stone Knights (also known as Desert Knights or Sand Knights) are a type of Giant Monster encountered primarily in the Starswept Valley, either via being dropped out the sky by a radiant meteor, or simply spawning fighting an Alpha Megalodaunt, but they can also just randomly spawn in.
Blizzard Knights are a far stronger version of the Stone Knight, spawning in a pack of 6 in the Valley of Heroes during the Winter Time, introduced as a trap by Aelita telling you to "come back during the winter for more fun".
==Description==
Recognizable by their yellow body, blue eyes and blue sword, the Stone Knights are the variant encountered on Aratel Island. They will not drop a chest if the Stone Knight emerged from a meteor, it will only spawn a chest if the knight spawned without a meteor. 
Far stronger with a white paintjob, the Blizzard Knight sports a unique sword and higher health, but no changes other than simply being a stronger variant

A Stone Knight executes the player:
Name 	Description
Death by Thousand Cuts	Slowly walks toward the player and then slashes the player with their sword, dismembering and killing them instantly.
==Tips==
*Usually after every move, you can get 1-2 basic attacks off, unless they use the single swing, in which only go for one.
*In order to dodge the Terra Eruption, do a full dodge instead of a roll cancel.
*All of the Stone Knight's moves can be dodged with little consequence, with the exception of the double slash.
* The Blizzard Knight spawns only as a pack of 6, thus it is recommended to slowly fight them one at a time rather than risk being infinitely stunned.
* You can right-click after get kick or terra eruption to ragdoll cancel
==Trivia==
*Stone Knights are artificial and are thus not affected by the "Mute" Regalia and will still attack if they spot you.
*Stone Knights and Blizzard Knights are very hostile towards most mobs and will target them.
*They have a 360 degrees detection range.
*During the early stages of the The Diluvian Mechanism's release, multiple Blizzard Knights were able to spawn corrupted as early as the third wave in, boasting a ridiculous 27000 health. The patch note following this replaced them with uncorrupted Stone Knights.
*Stone Knights can actually swim in water, however it makes their moves way harder to react to, so be careful when fighting them in water. 
* Blizzard Knights will under no circumstance fight a Rogue Construct, instead choosing to team up on you.
* on 1/11/2025, their animations were reworked as with the previous update overhauling the model making them shorter and more "stone-like"
