Useful Info

Spriggans are tiny guardians of the few forested areas found in the dungeon and its branches. They are weak in melee combat, but often poison their foes at range or attack them with naturalistic magic.

Variant Spriggan

You may encounter semi-unique spriggan bakers in certain vaults. These are no harder than standard spriggans, and are always found guarding a pile of bread rations.

A spriggan that has mastered the culinary arts.

Tips & Tricks

  • Spriggans are usually found late enough in the dungeon that they pose little threat in melee unless you allow them to surround you (which they will do at the first opportunity). The bigger threat usually lies in being heavily poisoned or torn apart by the magic of their druids. Pack poison resistance and be prepared to run, teleport, or blink out of the forest if one of them casts Awaken Forest.
