A curious buzzing sound seems to follow it as it moves....}}

A large and gnarled mangrove, possessed of sapience and a cantankerous disposition. Its roots run deep through the water and soil of its marshy home and can make footing very difficult for those who provoke its ire. Despite their kind's sour countenance, marsh fauna are often found nesting within their branches; beware, for they may not take kindly to being disturbed.


Useful Info

Shambling mangroves are massive forest guardians, large and powerful but slow . Along with their brutal melee attacks, they have a grasping roots ability which reduces your EV and increases your movement delay while standing on solid ground. Flying victims are occasionally grabbed and pulled to the ground as well

Some shambling mangroves are generated with a few ravens, yellow wasps or red wasps inside them, which will be released as a free action once the mangrove is reduced below 50% HP. These creatures count as normal monsters for experience purposes and are not replenished.

Released monsters consider the shambling mangrove their band leader; even if you kite the shambling mangrove away from its swarm, the insects will eventually regroup with and accompany it.

Shambling mangroves can be found in the Swamp.

Abilities: Grasping Roots

Tips & Tricks

  • If you lack poison resistance, killing the yellow and red wasps should be a major priority. Otherwise, let them sting away at you and worry about the actual threats nearby (such as the furious maple that's punching you).
  • To avoid the effects of Grasping Roots, you can stand on a water tile, preferably while flying to avoid the water penalty as well.

History

Shambling mangroves will be added in 0.14.
