How it thinks
Each moment it runs the most important goals it can (lowest number first); a more important goal interrupts a less important one. Read from the game's code and put in our own words.
What it does
- 4Locks on with its laser beam, then deals the damage when the beam is charged.
- 7Wanders around at random.
- 8Looks at a nearby player.
- 8Looks at a nearby guardian.
- 9Looks around at random.

How Emma beats it
She blocks its laser with a block.
- When a guardian locks its laser on her, she places a block in the line between them, which breaks the beam.
Lab result: No deaths in 10 monument fights; she killed the elder guardian in 3 of 5.
