Dendroid Guards 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." RoE manual

Special ability

Dendroids' attack causes an enemy to bind to the 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.

Building the Dendroid Saplings increases dendroids' growth by 2 per week.

Heroes with a specialty
  • Ryland Ryland the Ranger has dendroids as a specialty, which increases the Attack and Defense skills of any Dendroid Guards or Soldiers for each level attained after 5th level, and gives them a speed bonus of 1.

General Tactics and Info

With even lower speed than the dwarves, the dendroid guard and soldier are almost exclusively considered to be garrison units, because they will slow down any hero on the adventure map. However, it should be noted that they bear health almost equal to a level 6 wyvern, damage is not entirely bad, and also have good defense and ability.
