The Guardian Lion is a cheat unit in Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition - The African Royals. It is based on the Chinese legendary creature and architectural ornament. Two of them are spawned at the Town Center when the cheat code the king of all beasts is used. The cheat originally required completing certain challenges during the Lunar New Year 2022 event, but was made available to all players with update 13.58326.

The two units spawned by the cheat are named Female Guardian Lion and Male Guardian Lion, since the lions are usually depicted in pairs consisting of a male and a female lion, each one with different attributes. In Age of Empires III, they are identical in all but name.
