A breed of forest spirit only recently-emerged into the ranks of the Sylvaneth, the Gossamid Archers are afforded the power of flight by the zephyrwing spites that clasp their torsos. With impressive speed and mobility, the Archers fly to wherever they're needed on the battlefield, swooping low to shoot at the enemy and evading counter-assaults with a swarm of insectile distractions. A gruesome fate awaits any struck by the shafts fired by these symbiotic skirmishers – the arrowheads contain voracious grubs that devour the target from within.
The Gossamids' zephyrspites grasp their charges so tightly that the Gossamids have no issues maneuvering in the chaos of battle, but such is the connection between the tree-spirits and the spites that, at a single word from a unit's Flitwing Scion leader, the spites will detach and fly at the enemy to confound them, allowing the Gossamids to sprint to safety.
Additional information
Gossamid Archers are Sylvaneth skirmishers granted the power of flight by the zephyrspites that cling to their backs. They swoop around the battlefield, peppering the foe with arrows and evading counter-assaults with frustrating ease. The Gossamids joined the Sylvaneth wargroves in the wake of the raising of the Oak of Ages Past, with the first of their kind sprouting from translucent pods at the tree's base.
The Quiverbugs at each Gossamid's hip produce the arrows used by the archers. Each arrow contains ravenous grubs that, upon hitting the enemy, burrow deep and devour all they can, growing to maturity in seconds. After violently forcing themselves out of their prey, the young quiverbugs fly off in a buzzing cloud to seek out other Gossamids to continue the cycle.
