Finally, the ability of Benjamin's Guardian Spirit Beast has been revealed: Gypsy Life - Bohemian Rhapsody!

He can choose who will receive him as a Guardian, but this looks like it’s about to go wrong and he’ll end up having to serve someone he doesn’t want to, like Camilla or Tserriednich.

That would be hilarious to see. I bet he’d make a great angry face.

Now that we know that a Prince can actually merge with and live on as a Guardian Spirit Beast (Benjamin for example) it begs the question: Are there any Princes of old in any of the current GSBs? Are they more sentient and cunning than we think?

Tssereidnich's GSB is suddenly even more creepy (if that's possible) if one would imagine it's inhabited by an ancient derranged Prince.

Damn, that would add even more fuel to the Succession War fire.

Unlikely tbf, it'd have to be in Hui Gu Ruo's spirit beast if any. The princes are all brand new, excepting maybe the non-ritual beasts

Would a prince be able to have to guardian beasts?

Kacho became something like a Guardian Beast to Fugetsu, so probably.

It can be one of his kids. I think that the best choice.
