The Guardians near the Minor Erdtree ChurchGrace have a unique attack where the branch on the back blooms with flowers, causing the Guardian to grow in size, as well as growing roots around their swordspear, turning it into a large club-like weapon.
One type is already blossomed, and drops a different Chest Armor piece, Guardian Garb (Full Bloom).
Guardians can appear as a red flower with a thick tree root-like stem, only to climb the rest of the way out of the ground.
Guardians can turn their back towards the player and thrust it in their direction, which expels a small cloud of Poison.
