Useful Info

A spriggan spell caster who speaks for the trees. They can often be found guarding small forests in the Lair and other branches.

Spells: Sunray (3d19), Awaken Forest, Summon Caniforms, and Minor Healing.

Variant Spriggan Druid

You may encounter young spriggan druids while exploring the spriggan forest vault on Lair:8. These are significantly less dangerous than the mature versions, but try to lure them out of the forest first regardless.

A junior member of the order of spriggans sworn to protect nature. While less dangerous than the elders, this one is perfectly capable of dealing with trespassers like you.

Tips & Tricks

  • Entering their forest can prove fatal, as their Awaken Forest spell will cause you to take damage every turn you spend adjacent to a tree. If possible, lure them out or fight from a distance.
  • Their Summon Caniforms spell will summon black bears, grizzly bears, and wolves against you. While not terribly dangerous, they can delay you, giving the druid time to pelt you with Sunray. Abjuration makes short work of them.
  • Sunray deals additional damage to vampires. Be cautious.
  • They have exceptional EV for their level. Anything that bypasses it, such as Beogh's smiting or a raging forest fire, will help avoid headaches.
