Maw guard



Maw guards (or Mawguards) are humanoid Mawsworn.

These Mawsworn begin as inanimate suits of armor, forged by the stygian smiths of Zovaal's Cauldron. Once fashioned, they await infusion of a decrepit shade to complete their genesis.

As a companion pet

 * Gilded Darknight is a rare drop from the Adamant Vaults in Torghast, Tower of the Damned.
 * Mawsworn Minion is a rare drop from Kel'Thuzad in Sanctum of Domination.
 * Mord'al Eveningstar is rewarded from Many, Many Things.
 * Rook (pet) is a rare drop from Mysterious Gift from Ve'nari.

Speculation
Maw casters could likewise be formed the same as Maw guards, or even could be the same type of Mawsworn creatures.

Thanassos in the Maw has full Maw armor on top of a female orc model, it could be a different version of same type of Mawsworn.

When Ner'zhul was made into the Lich King his soul was similarly bound to a suit of armor and also a sword, as the Helm of Domination and Frostmourne are known to have been made by the Jailer's will it could mean the original form of the Lich King was similar to the Maw guards.
