'''Spriggan druids''' are deadly [[list of spriggans|spriggan]] spellcasters whose powers are dependent upon the forests which they guard. They can deal irresistible damage to you each turn you spend adjacent to a [[tree]], blast you with irresistible [[Conjurations]], and summon savage wildlife from elsewhere on the floor to come to their aid. On top of that, upon death, all animal-intelligence monsters able to see it fall are healed and buffed to deal more damage. They can be found in the [[Swamp]], accompanying [[the Enchantress]], or in spriggan-themed [[vault]]s, such as the occasional spriggan forest found on [[Lair]]:8 (or 7).

*Druid's Call immediately teleports several animals from elsewhere on the floor to the druid's aid. On Lair:8, this often includes [[death yak]]s and [[hydra]]s.

Useful Info

Spriggan druids are spriggan spellcasters dependent on the forests they guard. They can enrage trees in their vicinity, damaging foes that stay adjacent to a tree. Druids can also bring animals to their location, and attack you with magic of their own. They can be found in the Swamp, as well as in spriggan-themed vaults.

When a spriggan druid dies, 3-6 animal-intelligence monsters in its sight are healed for 3d11 HP and gain the might effect for 10-16 turns.[1]
