Black Guards are members of the Dwarven Black Guard found throughout areas controlled by the Dwarven Realm. They give slayer experience if players are assigned to kill dwarves. They wield black warhammers. All Black Guards on the Chaos Dwarf Battlefield become aggressive if you attack any one of them.
