Oh Soul Guardian, you ancient knight!

Idea for a new (hostile) mob for the Nether!

It is the "Soul Guardian" - a three or even four blocks high knight that only spawns in the Soul Sand Valley. He wears a strong, dark gray and brownish armor and has light blue glowing eyes. His weapon is his enchanted "soul sword".

Every player who enters the soul sand valley sooner or later gets attacked by the Soul Guardian - he is fast, silent and powerful and wants to protect his realm whatever happens.

Then, player, prepare for a legendary fight (you can`t run away from him)!

But, as soon as you have won the fight, the Soul Guardian doesn`t die, he just drops his Soul Sword which gives you special powers and abilities. From this moment on, the Soul Guardian isn`t hostile anymore - now he is your friend. 

You can follow him to a secret place in the Nether (which you can`t find without him) - there you can find things like ancient debris, netherite armor and tools, purpur blocks, shulker boxes (you don`t need to go to the end for that) and some very rare, maybe new, blocks and items you can`t get anywhere else.

The soul sword, on the other hand, becomes your most powerful weapon with its special enchants and abilities.

    I like the idea, but the Soul Sword would be too overpowered, Therefore it'd be more suitable to be unenchantable. It would be the same as a diamond sword, except more fragile(less durability.) forcing you to either grind alot of them at once, or keep going back to get one again. I support the idea of the Soul Guardian that becomes your friend, kind of like wolves he will teleport when you go too far.
    But the Soul Guardian wouldn't be able to leave the nether and walk on any other block that isnt soul sand/soil, otherwise it will be too overpowered
    And probably smart to bound 1 Soul Guardian to each soul sand valley, limiting you from creating an army. Also Soul Guardians wouldn't attack other Guardians.

    I feel like my version is a little more balanced, and I've taken many more things into account from the technical side. It would be the warden, but in the nether. Still could be fun to add.
