Suggestion: Gate Guardian

Suggesting the Thresholder from Kingdom Hearts II.◊

Interesting, for sure...is there a better quality version?

It's a concept art. Here's another version of it [1]◊

And here's two variations on the in-game model

An in-game screencap would be good. The first time it shows up it puts on a good pose.

The question is getting that screencap.

Some more shots

5.1 is good, as 5.2 has too much "noise".

Do you have one of the original coloration? I personally think it'd be better but I can live with the FM version.

I posted one earlier.

I totally knew that and am not bad at spot checking or remembering things.

*grumbles*

3.2 then. THIS IS MY FINAL VOTE.

Heimdall◊? Though it might be a bit less obvious because it's not a literal gate; decide for yourself if that shows Playing with a Trope or is too unintuitive to work.

Not bad. Here◊ are the gryphon, hippogriff, and wyvern from The Sandman.

Heimdall from Thor.

Morgenthaler beat you.

I like the Thresholder for the double meaning. See? It's a Gate Guardian, but also a gate that is a guardian.

Do we need a crowner for the options available?

Given the number of options, that seems the best course.

Agreed.

I guess no one took the hint.

It's hooked.

Friday votes bump; three in the green, all pretty close together.

This is way past the point of being ready to call. Can someone please add the winner? Thanks in advance.

Caption or no?

"No one can get past us! Unless they have a Keyblade."

^ Eh, that works.

I'd prefer something pointing out the humor that the gate guardian is both a gate and a guardian.

"In distant Hyrule, door knocks you!" [/corny]

Except...it's Kingdom Hearts, not Zelda, so that doesn't work.
