Too much like other random creatures that are drawn from nothing or nearly nothing and just suck when stacked up against other creatures that they could be reskinned from.I do agree with Nightwalkers on their outright coolness. Our groups have fought them too many times to count and they're always deadly but you always feel like you have a chance. It's funny that when you said "I simply enjoy the image of an (almost) epic undead.." that my mind said Nightwalkers aren't undead - because they're that cool.I've given Shield Guardians as treasure, they definitely fill a role but they are kinda sucky and odd to see in the Monster book (MM) instead of with the treasure or magic items (DMG). And to comment to Thunderfoot - I've always disliked Warforged so I'm not entirely sure where you draw the parallel.On the topic of Golems in general. I love all types of golems but my general dislike of having quite so many extra types it does factor in as well. I can't count how often I've used flesh golems (sometimes reskinned as a Frankenstein monster) and all the other types in the MM to fight a party. They are very effective when used as dumb as their constituent parts and when they are not. Excellent creatures, sometimes poor execution.</blockquote>
