Vigilants are gleaming mechanical constructs inhabited by the souls of the greatest warriors of the draenei, who serve as eternal protectors of Auchindoun and the draenei civilization on Draenor. Miniature versions were created to protect domesticated elekks from pests, though they also turned out to be really good at giving back massages.

Socrethar perverted this holiest of rituals, and used a warped fel construct to preserve his soul after his defeat in Talador.

The high arakkoa of Skyreach closely observed the civilization of the draenei, taking a keen interest in the towering vigilants that guard their cities and temples. The arakkoa then set out to create their own superior version.

The Draenei Tomb Guardian, the only draenei arcane golem, may have been a vigilant. It too was related to the maintenance of Auchindoun.
