Grudiev, also called Gurdiev and Gurdijeff (Japanese:グルジエフ)[1] is the Earth Guardian. He takes on the form of a large bluish-green, Space Godzilla-inspired dinosaur with long crystal spikes sticking out of his back. Most of his summon attacks involve him bursting from the ground. The four main guardians, Grudiev, Fengalon, Schturdark, and Moor Gault, are all based off the Four Symbols in Chinese mythology. Grudiev is based off of Meng Zhang, the Azure Dragon.[2]

"You may be right. Fengalon. Look at them... they look defeated...." - Gurdijeff about the group.
