# Cactus Guardian Boss

The Cactus Guardian is an overworld boss that spawns in the desert. Disguised as a normal cactus that's shaking a bit, it comes with an *explosive* surprise if you get too close. It has 40 hearts which makes it pretty quick to kill. 

Once you kill it, you'll find what it has been hiding; the Guardians Blade. This sword has a 50% chance of dropping on the guardian's death, does 16 attack damage and will make your enemies regret getting on your bad side.

*Apart of the Dangerous Desert Update*
