Portraits

Dendroid Gurads and Dendroid Soldiers are level 5 creatures of Rampart, that are recruited from the Dendroid Arches. Slow and powerful dendroids bash their opponents with their wooden limbs. Those attacked by dendroids are snared in tangling roots and bound in place until the dendroids move or are killed.

Special ability

Dendroids' attack causes enemy to bind to ground, unable to move until the stack of dendroids that entangled them moves or perishes. The visual effect of binding is a bunch of roots appearing from the ground. Harpies are the exception because of their strike and return ability. They are bounded to the original hex they attacked from, and are not unbinded if the dendroid stack moves or dies.

Heroes with a Dendroid specialty

Ryland gives Dendroid Guards and Dendroid Soldiers he commands a speed bonus of 1, and increases their Attack and Defense skills after the 5th level.
