Hoard Warden
Empty armor sworn to the wyrm.
The Hoard Warden waits behind a forked stair in The Hoard Heart: two of floors 24, 25, 27, 28 each run. You see it before you choose, it fights alone, and you can always walk on instead.
Its moves
It works through these in order, then starts again:

Guard. It begins a fight at a random point in the cycle, and its next move always shows above it.

What it leaves
Three times a normal enemy's gold, 2 gems, and an etched piece of gear that is Rare or better (5% of the time a unique).
