The corruption that plagues the Weald affects all who inhabit or trespass upon it, be they man, animal or plant. It is well known that those who wander too long or get lost among the thickets and winding trails are, without exception, infected by the malignant spores and become yet another carrier for the spreading corruption. The infestation in the Weald doesn't always need a fresh living host to thrive; even those unfortunate souls who perished before the corruption took control of their bodies find no respite in these cursed glades. Instead they become a creature even more terrifying and perverse; The Fungal Artillery. Barely recognizable as to what it was in life, they serve as a vessel for terrible diseases and mindlessly spread the spores of their demise with every step, both inside and outside.

Behavior[]

The Weald's corruption does not restrict itself to transforming live subjects. While live humans become Fungal Scratchers, infected corpses are twisted into the Fungal Artillery. Though not as well-armored or resilient as the Scratchers, the Fungal Artillery possesses more potent poisons and carries the ability to mark heroes for its Scratcher companions to attack, while operating from the safety of the enemy back ranks.

Its Rain of Blight can inflict Blight upon those within your back ranks, and it can mark heroes in the front with Mark Prey, signalling where its allies can find vulnerable prey. If it's ever pulled into the front ranks, it will use Escape Cloud to move its position backwards by one, and will continue to do so until it has returned to position 3. These enemies will always be accompanied by Fungal Scratchers and possibly Unclean Giants, and should be eliminated first - their blight damage can add up quickly, and their marks allow the Scratchers to do massive damage.
