Ancestor

(image)

Revered warriors of old roam through the elven forests, visible only by the light of their shining silver blades, their wounds having closed as if they had never existed. Though they are only partially present in the mortal realm, their voices can whisper words in the wind that chill the hearts of their enemies, words that show the true meaning of fear.

Special Notes: Spirits have very unusual resistances to damage, and move quite slowly over open water. During battle, this unit can drain life from victims to renew its own health. This unit’s arcane attack deals tremendous damage to magical creatures, and even some to mundane creatures. This unit can frighten enemy units that are next to it, making them fight worse. This unit will regenerate 5 HP per turn in forest or mushroom grove terrains.
