The Duloc Guards are the secondary antagonists of DreamWorks' 5th full-length animated feature film, Shrek, the first installment in the franchise of the same name.
They are guards that serve Lord Farquaad and keep order in the city of Duloc.
History[]
The guards are first seen rounding up fairytale creatures into wagons and cages as per Lord Farquaad's orders to banish them from Duloc. As Donkey makes an escape, the captain and a group of guards try to catch him. But then, they encounter Shrek, and run away in fear.
Some of the guards are in the Duloc dungeon with Farquaad when he receives the Magic Mirror and shout out their suggestions of which princess he should choose to marry out of the three candidates presented by the Mirror. At the tournament, two guards stand guard with Farquaad, and more take aim at Shrek and Donkey with their crossbows at Farquaad's orders.
A group of guards later accompany Farquaad when he gives Shrek the deed of his swamp in return for Princess Fiona. Another group of guards stand outside the cathedral where Farquaad and Fiona's wedding is taking place, fleeing when Dragon lands there. After Fiona reveals her true ogress form, the guards seize her and Shrek on Farquaad's orders. And when Dragon flies through a window in the cathedral, most of the guard's scatter, while the rest of them stand in shock.
It's unknown what happened to them after these events. However, one guard is seen attending Shrek and Fiona's wedding at the end of the film, apparently having made peace with them and the Fairytale Creatures.
