No, we aren't talking about the kind fellow at the national park who wears the snazzy uniform (but there's more of a connection than you might think - see below). We are talking about the forest-dwelling recluse who serves as a self-appointed guardian for their ancient and enchanted home. They may wear green in an attempt to blend in to their forest surroundings. They guard their forest with their bow slung across their back, and would rather take your hat off with an arrow than post a polite notice to please put out your campfire before you leave. In a Standard Fantasy Setting, expect at least one elf to be this trope. As a character who maintains a close affinity with and protects unspoiled natural landscapes, this is a subtrope of Nature Hero. Related tropes include the Druid, for nature-hero wizards who use magic themed around plants, animals, and natural phenomena, and the Jungle Princess, who lives within a tropical forest and protects its inhabitants. Primarily meshes with Aloof Archer, but Rangers wielding an axe or spear are also common. If they are more civilized, they might use Bow and Sword in Accord. Lesser known fact — the word "ranger" does not mean "one who fights from range", but "one who watches over a range". Like modern-day Park Rangers. So they are not at all limited to the Aloof Archer. Not to be confused with bushranger, a term for a 19th-century Australian outlaw. Compare Roguish Poacher, another character archetype associated with woodlands, elusiveness, and ranged weapons. Supernatural variants, be they The Fair Folk, tree-creatures or Nature Spirits, may also be a Genius Loci. Compare Nature Hero, Mountain Man and Classical Hunter. Contrast City Guards. |

Dragon Age: The Dalish elves have this aesthetic, although they're more territorial than custodial and never stay in one place for long if they can help it. A Dalish Warden is introduced keeping humans away from their camp, can get lines reflecting this archetype, and bow use is encouraged by the provision of better quality equipment in the Dalish origin story. There is also the "Ranger" specialization for the Rogue class, which gives the character a +5 resistance to natural attacks and allows them to summon predatory animals to attack their enemies. |

The Ranger has a literal forest ranger serving as a villainous example, seeing himself as protecting the national park from people who trash it and using a hunting rifle (the modern version of the bow and arrow) as his weapon of choice alongside bear traps and axes, in contrast to the group of punk rockers from the city who serve as the protagonists. He also kidnaps the Final Girl in the hopes of awakening her more "natural" side. | |

Tolkien's Legendarium: The Ents were created for this very purpose, according to The Silmarillion. As the Shepherds of the Trees, their main reason for existence is to prevent humanoids from abusing forests and to prevent trees from getting homicidal. Despite the name, the original fantasy Rangers, those among whom Aragorn lived in The Lord of the Rings, weren't this trope, being more partisans/marchwardens/monster hunters than guardians of nature. The Elves often fit this trope to a lesser degree, being part of the reason why travelers are advised not to stray from the marked path. That said, this is not necessarily out of concern for nature, but because their own territories are concealed within the forests and they don't like uninvited visitors. This is explicitly the case with the Green-elves or Laiquendi of Ossiriand in the First Age, who regard intruders as "unfriends" and who enforce No Trespassing with camouflage, stealth, and arrows. |

Pathfinder includes several of these: Among playable classes, rangers, druids, hunters, shifters, and some shamans all tend to revolve around this trope in some form or another, depending on how focused they are on protecting the wilderness from humanity versus protecting humanity from the worst of the wild's monsters. Treants, leshies, other plant creatures, and many types of fey and kami likewise live to protect the wild places of the world against both the axes of civilization and creatures of dark magic. Bliss dragons consider themselves guardians of animals and the wilderness, watching over sanctums of pristine wildland and expelling even fey and magical beasts that don't measure to their exacting standards. The empyreal lord Cernunnos casts himself as an embodiment and protector of the wild places of the worlds, and his worshippers tend to be rangers, druids and other protectors of nature. |

A Dance with Rogues: Anden Goodmanner is a clear, classic example of this, as he's an archer who wears green clothing, is an excellent tracker, feels comfortable in forests, and laments their mistreatment. He does possess a few differences in that he isn't hostile to people or self-appointed as a Ranger, but rather is part of a guild that maintains the safety of the forested roads to Betancuria and seems to observe the condition of the woods. Anden is also a human, instead of an elf, and what little is seen of the guild seems to be composed of humans as well. | |

Warhammer: Amber Wizards spend most of their time protecting the wilderness from intruders and despoilers. While they do deal with poachers and the like from time to time, they're mostly involved in preserving nature from the ravages of the Beastmen and other forces of Chaos. The Wood Elves are extremely protective of their forests and will murder anyone who tries to cut them down. There's a specific class, the Waywatchers, for whom this trope is the entire job description. Dwarf Rangers cross this trope with Mountain Man, their haunt being mountains and valleys rather than forests. Generally consisting of dwarfs who do not fit in their society, Rangers range overland routes and valleys between major dwarfholds alone or in small groups, keeping passes and roads open, hunting monsters, or keeping watch for orc troop movements. They fill a vital if unappreciated role in dwarf society. |

Dota 2: Traxex the Drow Ranger is not an actual drow, but was raised by them after her family died. Having learned the ways of stealth and archery, she retreated into the forest in order to live out a solitary existence. Lyralei the Windranger is the Red Oni to the Drow Ranger's Blue Oni, a much more cheerful take on this trope. A blessing from the winds helped turn her into a Master Archer who can fell trees with a single arrow, launch a Trick Arrow that binds enemies, and unleash a Spam Attack of shots at blinding speeds. She uses those talents to protect the forests where she was born. |

Majesty: The Ranger class. Although their main function is as Bold Explorers who dispel the Fog of War, they also vastly prefer nature and wilderness to the city, have herblore enough to poison weapons or make healing potions from the plants your other heroes sow, and will team up with the highly anti-civilization Barbarians when they're present. Their guilds are mobile campsites, and once the whole place is explored they'll go off to more wild regions. They also wear green and fit the Aloof Archer Archetype. (Although it's downplayed, as they're more preferers of untamed forest than active guardians of it.) | |

The Witcher's short stories provide a dark deconstruction to this trope. There are Rangers who fit the general description, being master bowmen and spending most of their time in the forests — but they spend it hunting elves, dryads, rusalkas, and other non-humans, some in revenge of their kin who were murdered by the Scoia'tael terrorists, others simply for the reward or out of racist hatred. | |

Fighting Fantasy: Portal of Evil has the wood sprites, elvish guardians of the woods with bark-like skin. | |

In both the Greyhawk and Forgotten Realms settings, the goddesses Ehlonna and Mielikki respectively are considered to be this, with the latter being known as the Supreme Ranger, and both being basically stand-ins for Artemis when the latter is not also present. | |
