==Behavior==
*Emits a green pulse every 15 seconds, restoring 20% health and cleansing Status Effects to allied units within 10 meters.

==Trivia==

*In Lore, the Ancients are described as being hundreds of years older than the Corpus, so their deformed shape could also be attributed to years of infestation and mutation.
*The Ancient Healer has an Orokin crown on its back, similar to the Ancient Infested of Lephantis.
*Before , the Ancient Healer's health class was categorized as Infested Sinew. It was then changed to Fossilized to match with other Ancients.
*Before , the Ancient Healer provided a 90% damage reduction aura and all Status Effects done to allied units under the aura used to have the status effect applied to the Ancient instead. The aura was changed to provide equal to 9x of the Ancient Healer's health.
** separated the Ancient Healer's Overguard to the new Ancient Protector enemy. Likewise the Corrupted Ancient formerly behaved as an Ancient Healer, which now behaves like an Ancient Protector and thus has lost its ability to heal.
