Skills
The Rock Crown Lizard channels the energy of the rocks and opens a Guarding Shield in the allied side of the battlefield for 7 seconds. The Shield absorbs 50% of damage received by any allied hero within the shield. The maximum damage that can be borne by the Shield is 120% of Rock Crown Lizard's max health. The Shield will end early if the maximum borne damage is exceeded, but will last for at least 2 seconds. When an allied hero suffers damage in the allied side of the battlefield, the Rock Crown Lizard gains additional Beast Energy.
Rock Crown Lizard increases the Dissolve of allied heroes within its Shield by 5 points and their Tenacity by 5 points.
The proportion of damage sustained by Rock Crown Lizard's Shield is increased to 55%, the maximum limit of which is also increased to 130% of Rock Crown Lizard's max health. When the Shield ends, if the damage borne by it does not exceed the limit, 15% of the remaining damage quota will be converted into healing to be distributed evenly among all surviving allied heroes in the Shield.
When an allied hero suffers fatal damage, they are immune to such damage and enters an invincibility period for 0.5 seconds. Rock Crown Lizard instantly gains full Beast Energy and deploys a Guarding Shield. If a Shield already exists on the allied side of the battlefield, the Shield will end early. This effect can be triggered up to 1 times in a battle.
At the start of battle, the Rock Crown Lizard is filled with Beast Energy. When the shield ends, the beast deals beast damage for 250% of its Attack Rating to all enemies within the shield, temporarily stunning and knocking them back a certain distance into the enemy side of the battlefield. The 1 enemy heroes closest to the front receive additional damage for 20% of their max health and are stunned for 3 seconds. The additional damage will not exceed 20% of the Rock Crown Lizard's max health. For 5 seconds, the Attack Rating of hit enemies is reduced by 30%.
When a Shield ends, most of the buffs of the enemies and most of the debuffs of the allies within the Shield are removed.
If an enemy has a shield within the Guarding Shield, their shield value will be weakened by 10% of their max health per second, with the lost shield value per second not exceeding 10% of the Rock Crown Lizard's max health. Any shield value lost increases the Guarding Shield's maximum damage absorbtion by an equal amount.

Story
The Rock Crown Lizard lives amid rocks and has a greyish white skin ideal for camouflage in their habitat. Their bodies are covered in minerals and bony armor, with a rock-like crest and solid, tough skin. These features make the Rock Crown Lizard a powerful defensive creature that can effectively absorb damage for its allies. Compared to its desert-dwelling relative, the Rock Crown Lizard is gentle and slow-moving. It usually crouches on the ground disguising itself as a rock, and does not normally attack. But once provoked, it lunges at its enemy with juggernaut force and drives them off with its rock-hard crown.
