Corpse Guardian

**Corpse Guardian** (屍の守護者) is an undead summon of Ainz Ooal Gown in Mass for the Dead.

## Appearance

A hulking undead that seems to be a fusion of multiple skeletons. Its upper torso is comprised of several rib cages and six skull heads. On its right shoulder, it had a spiked ossified pauldron. Its upper limbs are asymmetrical as the right hand is skinny while the left is a massive four-fingered claw with a nail impaled at the center. The Corpse Guardian wears a tattered robe, that exposes his upper torso, while the bottom part is covered with multiple chains.

## Personality

Corpse Guardian displays very little personality and mostly responds in groans. However, this appearance belies his level of intelligence and he is very loyal to Momonga. Willing to do the dirtiest tasks for his master and Nazarick.

## Background

Momonga hearing from a report that Cocytus is seeking to break through his limits and level with the aid of Prismatic Crystals. Knowing that it will be difficult for Cocytus to fight with worthy opponents, Momonga secretly prepares to play a role in holding a competition to raise Nazarick's overall strength.

## Chronology

### Mass for the Dead Arc

*Main article: Mass for the Dead Arc*
In an effort to strengthen Cocytus, who has been working with Demiurge to enhance his powers through Prismatic Crystals to break through the level cap, it was believed that he needed combat experience to complete the procedure. Thus Momonga created the Nazarick Fighting Tournament for this purpose. For the Nazarick Fighting Tournament, Momonga summons Corpse Guardian to act as a worthy opponent for the participants. The undead's identity is unrevealed in the first round of the tournament, serving as the wild card of the event. By the time of the second round, he faces off against Demiurge and his three Evil Lords and single-handedly defeats them.

Corpse Guardian faces off against Cocytus and the Pleiades in the final round and is defeated in personal combat by the Floor Guardian. After being restored by his master, Corpse Guardian demanded to be assigned a new task.

Corpse Guardian is seen again in E-Rantel as one of the Demon Emperor Jaldabaoth's minions. He remained underground beneath a magically constructed execution stand in the middle of the city. After it was destroyed by the protagonist, who was really Pandora's Actor in disguise, the undead revealed himself to attack the adventurer, only to be defeated by the 'hero'.

The undead reappeared again as the final opponent for LittleMass's final live idol show at the Amphitheater.
