Sporeling

Sporeling Tactics

Sporelings use their False Appearance to act as mines. They wait for their prey to come close enough for them to activate their Spore Bombs and kill the target.

They are not intelligent and act out of instinct.

If in trouble, the Sporelings will focus on using their Siphoning Touch to heal themselves.

Sporelings cannot coordinate themselves to attack the same target. They don't understand the concept of magic and will not actively target magic users to break their concentration, but they won't stop using their Siphoning Touch when a target is unconscious if the Sporeling is missing more than half its HP.
