I hope you enjoy this nasty critter. I promise that tomorrow's offering will be nicer (provided the characters are on its good side). Thanks for reading!
These two metallic
quadrupeds have the exact same appearance, mixing a variety of predatory
animals. They move in tandem with one another.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Bleeding Attack (Ex)
This ability operates like the bleeding attack rogue talent.
Camouflage (Ex)
At rest, a killduo guardian looks like a pair of highly detailed statues. A DC
30 Perception check is required to notice the guardian before it attacks for
the first time. Anyone with ranks in Craft (sculptures) or Knowledge (arcana)
can use either skill instead of Perception to notice the guardian.
Shared Body (Su)
Each half of a killduo guardian begins combat with the listed maximum hit
points. At the end of a creature’s (including the killduo guardian's) turn, if
neither half of the guardian was destroyed, the hit points for each half revert
to 1/2 their total hit points. This ability does not apply if the halves are
more than 150 feet from each other.
Shared Mind (Su)
If within 150 feet of each other, no half of a killduo guardian is considered
flanked or flat-footed unless they both are.
Teamed Threat (Ex)
As long as the two halves of a killduo guardian threaten a creature, they count
as flanking it.
For those who want an extreme amount of protection for their
treasure vaults or other precious commodities along with an aesthetic
sensibility, pricy killduo guardians serve admirably. The tandem creatures are
designed to work together with maximum efficiency to dispatch pesky looters and
other invaders. When not in use, they look like impressively sculpted metallic
statues and an ostentatious display of wealth for their owners. Similarly to
golems, killduo guardians have controllers which give them basic orders, but
they creatures are incredibly intelligent and devise their own tactics to carry
out their orders. Uncontrolled killduo guardians retain their desire to protect
valuable treasures and offer their services to creatures for adamantine, which
they consume to keep themselves in fighting shape.
Each half of a killduo guardian weighs 1,800 pounds, stands
5 feet tall at the shoulder, and measures 12 feet in length.
Construction
A killduo guardian is carved from 4,000 pounds of adamantine
worth 150,000 gp.
