Warden archons were large, bear-like archons with dexterous hands instead of paws, but these furry hands ended in razor-sharp, black claws.They were about the size of an ogre, standing between eight and ten feet tall. Their thick fur was colored white or like silver or gold. When one looked into their tiny, clear, eyes, their intelligence was obvious.

Wardens were often garbed in plate mail engraved with holy and virtuous symbols. They were always observed wearing metal collars about their necks and bracers about their arms. These ornaments were not actual metal; they were mystical representations of the archon's rank within the hierarchy of Celestia and could not be removed.
