A portal guard is a piglin that is part of the Horde of the Bastion of Minecraft Legends.

Spawning

Portal Guards are exclusive to the Horde of the Bastion, and therefore they spawn near the nether portal of their piglin bases of higher level. They can also be encountered in Night Beacon base and during the invasions.

Drops

Portal guards drop lapis.
