Rockling

Rocklings are often summoned by spellcasters to guard certain areas from unwanted intruders. For instance, a powerful druid may summon a rockling to guard a stone circle or a sacred hilltop, while a wizard has one guard a tower or lair. A rockling does not age or need sustenance, making them excellent guardians, and they have excellent memories. When it chooses to, the rockling can make itself look like an ordinary boulder, remaining perfectly still for years at a time. A rockling is permanently bound to the Material Plane, so that when it dies, it doesn’t return to the Plane of Earth.
