The Horknight watchman is a monster in the series.

Characteristics[edit | edit source]

Horknight watchmen are grumpy grublin cavaliers that ride on the back of a red and black hornet. They wear simple sets of black and gold armour and black masks with golden horns and visors, along with purple riding gloves. In their hands, they wield red jousting lances that they use to perform Multithrust in concert with their mounts. The hornets are able to fire off stingers laced with a paralytic toxin at their opponents. The horknight watchmen are very territorial, casting instant death spells to try and send groups of adventurers to the hereafter. Their name is a play on the term "night watchman".

Description		These ruthless rulers of the grublin kingdom are fiercely territorial, sending trespassers on their turf to an early grave with Thwack.

If a horknight watchman is sparkling, its mount can be ridden after defeating it in battle. The hornet hovers in midair and can fly over low bodies of water, as well as being able to make small hops.
