Gumpod

Description

Gumpods, like their earlier forms, dwell high among the canopy, where they lead largely sedentary lives, conserving their strength for the final stage of their transformation. In the meantime, they serve as guardians to a family of Gumpillars, fending off more powerful crytures to protect their kin and their home. In return, the Gumpillars share part of their foraged food, sustaining the Gumpods while they preserve their energy for their coming metamorphosis.

Combat

Gumpods are often encountered with a number of Gumpillars, which they try to protect in combat. They have no problem engaging in melee, counting on their high Deflection to survive. While in melee, they rely on their melee blast powers to keep enemies engaged without having to fall back on basic attacks. Their Levitation feature isn't very developed, but they can still hover outside of melee range if they need some space.
