Ratling guardians are NPCs guarding the entrance to the High Mountain Village. They don't move (except to chase the attackers), but can be switched places with and therefore put anywhere on the level as well as taken to other locations. It is possible to rob the village shop blocking the exit for Leggot while taking the shop items. This will, however, spawn thugs and is typically not recommended. The other way to use guardians' immobility is to block the entrance to the village from hostile monsters (notably stone giant lord). This obstacle takes several turns to set up and is not very reliable as guardians may simply be killed.
