Gnarled Woodsprite

The **Gnarled Woodsprite** is an equipment in Risk of Rain 2.

While the Woodsprite is equipped, the holder will continuously heal for 1.5% of their maximum health per second, unless it is sent to an ally.

When activated, the Woodsprite will travel to the selected ally (indicated by a green circle around the target) and immediately heal them for 10% of their maximum health, as well as healing them continuously instead of the holder.

The Woodsprite can only heal one ally at a time, but multiple charges from  can redirect the Woodsprite to new targets.

The holder of the Woodsprite can also target themself, recalling the Woodsprite and healing themself immediately, similarly to the .

## Notes

* The Woodsprite's owner can target allies that are behind terrain.

* If MUL-T sends the Woodsprite to an ally and then uses Retool to swap to the other equipment slot, the Woodsprite will still remain with that ally. When MUL-T switches back to the Woodsprite's slot after sending it, it is immediately recalled.
* If the Woodsprite's owner has sent it to an ally, and that ally dies, the Woodsprite will return to its owner.
* The Gnarled Woodsprite cannot be sent to ghosts from the .
* The Woodsprite cannot be sent to an ally that already has a Woodsprite accompanying them (whether their own or sent by another ally).

Dr. Coleas's studies on the benefits of sprite-assisted care have paved the way for hospitals across Earth. These little guys take every opportunity to radiate amongst the injured and sick.

We've seen significant decreases in the recovery times of almost all patients. While effective, I'm not certain if this aura effect is transmitting anything at all. It might all be placebo; people could just be reacting to the spectacle of a cute lifeform putting on a light show in front of them.

Either way, it's good to have them around, and I think they enjoy being around us too. I'm lucky enough to get to keep one in my home... for study purposes, of course. It may seem a little crass, but shipping these little guys in from off world does not seem to impact their attitude in the slightest.
