Rustalk

Description

In the wild, Rustalks served as the royal guards of The Verdant King and his lair. The only time they would leave their posts was to hunt down troublesome intruders in the Vivid Vale, usually with a whole entourage of Kriebeans and Solstalks at their command. Otherwise, a Rustalk would either accompany the king on his tours around the Vale, or guard the essence well that he spawned from. Ever since The Verdant King's binding, however, Rustalks have been owned only by elite members of the The Viridian Order, plus a few of Duke Oakthorne's closest allies.

Combat

Rustalks are more tactical combatants than their younger forms, and will choose their targets carefully. While their minions engage in melee, the Rustalk will spend some turns stalking the battlefield, taking potshots with its ranged powers, as it looks for an opening to strike the most vulnerable enemy. Their great stature also belies the speed of their serpentine bodies, and they use this trait to great effect when closing in to engage foes in melee.
