Spriggan

Spriggans are tree spirits that vaguely resemble mortal women. They are hostile, and difficult to kill due to their ability to heal themselves and summon allies to their aid.

Spriggans can be found in a variety of wooded places. In Reaper's March, they're primarily found next to tall trees near places bordering the edge of the map, such as Fort Grimwatch, Greenhill, and Willowgrove.

Starting with Ascending Tide, some newer spriggan variants walk on two legs. These spriggans are rigged using the Sylvan Spriggan polymorph, often wield weapons, and are classified as NPCs instead of creatures.

Skills and Abilities[edit]

Nature's Swarm

Lacerate: A basic melee attack that deals minor physical damage.
Nature's Swarm: The spriggan sends a swarm of insects forward, indicated by a red cone, dealing moderate physical damage.
Summon Beast: The spriggan summons an animal to assist it in combat. The stats and the animal type depend on the stats and location of the summoner. They can summon ambush beetles, dire wolves, durzogs, great bears, senche-tigers, thunderbug lords, venomspit spiders, websnare spiders, or wolves,. Spriggans are vulnerable while a summon is active.^{vulnerable how?}^[1]
Control Beast: The spriggan channels a buff on its summoned animal, or any nearby allied creature, increasing the target's spell and physical resistance. This can be interrupted to set the spriggan off-balance.
Healing Salve: When hurt, the spriggan heals itself. The heal ramps up over time, and will heal for a large amount if not interrupted, which then sets the spriggan off-balance.

Dragonstar Arena-only[edit]

Nature's Grasp: When spriggans in Dragonstar Arena die, they leave two areas on top of each other. One deals high damage over time and the other restores your magicka and stamina. The damaging one increases its damage with each tick you take with stacks that last 10 seconds.
