Characteristics
Decayed Guardians are decayed variations of the Guardian Stalkers that have long lost their mobility. They are found buried in the ground, unable to move due to having no legs.

They and are prone to malfunctioning after being attacked, firing off several lasers in rapid succession. If Link performs a Perfect Guard with any Shield on its laser, it is instantly defeated. If BotW: hits a Decayed Guardian in its eye using a bow, it will temporarily stun it. Using Stasis + on a charging up Decayed Guardian will stun them afterwards, even if not hit during stasis. In Master Mode, Decayed Guardians will sometimes take slightly longer in their charge up phase before firing their laser to throw off link's timing.
