Guardians

The Guardians (Japanese ガーディアンズ) are a group of guards in the Monster Hunter universe. They are a type of Guild Knight.



Their Job
The job of a Guardian is very similar to our world's police. They keep law and order in towns, such as Dundorma, while also protecting the citizens from potential emergency situations. Most of these emergency situations involve guiding civilians to safe places and protecting them from incoming danger. The Guardians also act as security for powerful people like His Immenseness. They will stop any person without any permit, including low ranking hunters.

A Guardian's Uniform
The Guardians wear blue armor used for protection against invading monsters and have been trained in using the Lance. They usually use some type of Iron Lance. The armor for some Guardians can vary depending on where they are stationed.

The Risk
When Elder Dragons or Elder Dragon-Level Monsters invade a town, they are immediately sent into the frontlines to help fight off the threat. This is quite risky due to some Guardians losing their lives in the middle of the battle.

Captains
Captains (Japanese 隊長) are the highest-ranked Guardians. They keep structure within the Guardians, while also helping recruit new members. There can only be two captains at a time, which both specialize in a different tasks. One specializes in strength, while the other specializes in giving in commands. The captains work under superiors, such as His Immenseness.
