Dread Root

Dread roots are Bio Minions from the Upcoming game Darkspore

Appearance
Dread Roots are small,Floraforms that seem to be similar to small trees in build,They have small leaf like structures on their head,These can be used to spot Dread roots from a Distance,far from acting as a camouflage.Their other features are Simian,with long powerful arms and legs,despite being smaller than most heroes.

Behavior
Dread roots,that appear on both Verdanth and Nocturna will stay underground when a hero is not near,with only their leaves poking above ground,however when a Hero strolls onto the scene the Dread roots will pop out of the Ground or burrow towards the hero ready for Melee attacks.From afar the Dread roots will attempt to root a Hero in place with a Skill similar to Sage's Strangling Briars team ability,With the hero locked in place thanks to the roots,other darkspore can inflict serious damage to a Hero,especially a Tempest

Other than this Dread roots are fragile, especially to close range attacks,so Blitz' Ride the Lightning may be a good skill to use to get up close without being rooted in place.

Trivia

 * It is Unknown whether Dread Roots are Plant or Animal as they share features of Both,like most of Verdanth's Lifeforms
