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]

Tips & Tricks

  • Fighting a spriggan druid near trees can be dangerous. If possible, try to lure it away from trees, or burn them down with powerful Fire Magic.
  • Druids are relatively fragile; try to kill them quickly, before they can bring animals with Druid's Call.
  • If at all possible, try to kill druids without any animals in its sight. Mighted hydras and bunyips can really hurt.

  • Prior to 0.14, spriggan druids knew Sunray and Haste Plants in place of Stone Arrow, and they did not buff nearby animals upon death.
  • Prior to 0.13, they had Summon Caniforms in place of Druid's Call and Haste Plants.
  • Spriggan druids were added in 0.7.
