**Description:** The Ironclad Sentinel is a towering construct forged from enchanted steel, designed to protect ancient ruins and treasures. Created by a long-lost civilization, these sentinels are programmed to defend against intruders with relentless efficiency. They often patrol their designated areas, using their defensive aura to deter attackers while striking with powerful slams. When threatened, they unleash their shield bash to incapacitate foes, ensuring that their territory remains secure. Despite their imposing presence, Ironclad Sentinels are devoid of emotion, acting solely on their programmed directives.
