Overview
The Soldiers of Rularuu are an enemy group found mainly in the Shadow Shard zones of City of Heroes.
Enemy Types
Minions
Brute
The main shock troops in the Rularuu army are the Brutes. Faceless and grotesque, the Brutes are powerful fighters. Their primary weapons are the giant crystals that sit atop their heads, but they can also make short work of a hero with their powerful, club-like arms.
Powers
Energy Blast Ranged Energy, Foe Knockback
Sends a focused beam of energy that can knock back foes.
Pummel Melee, Cone, Heavy Smash
Brute brawling attacks.
Crystal of Vigor Point Blank Area of Effect, Ally +Damage
When a Brute minion is in peril, he can release the power in his crystal to give himself and all his nearby allies a buff to their damage.
Natterling
Natterlings travel in large packs, hopping about the floating islands and mystic causeways of the Shadow Shard looking for intruders. They're very good scavengers, and any piece of technology or any living thing they find they'll scoop up and bring back to their masters.
Powers
Flight Self fly
Natterlings can Fly!
Scatter Shards Ranged, Moderate Damage, Lethal
Natterlings cam hurl shards of themselves in a narrow cone.
Pummel Melee, Heavy Smash
Natterling brawling attacks.
Merge Special
Two Natterlings can combine their biomatter to form a larger version of itself!
Watcher
These hideous creatures watch over the entirety of the Shadow Shard. Their giant eyeballs serve not only as a mechanism for exceptional sight, but also as their primary weapon. Regrettably, standing behind a Sentry is no safer than standing in front. Their thorn blasts can tear a hero to shreds, and they seem to be aware of everything around them.
Powers
Flight Self fly
Sentries can Fly!
Optic Blast (Ranged, Energy) Foe -Speed, -Recharge, -Defense
The Optic Blast of the Sentry has a paralytic effect. Your attack and movement speed, as well as your defense, is reduced.
Quill Blast Cone Lethal, Med Damage, Knockback
The Sentry can hurl its quills in a cone arc and impale a group of foes. Impaled foes may be knocked down.
Chomp Melee Heavy Lethal
Sentries can Chomp down on nearby foes.
??? +Perception
Sentries can see through Stealth
Wisps
Wisps are intelligent and capable leaders within the army of the Rularuu. Despite their frail appearance, they're quite tough and resilient to physical attacks, although they hate to feel the touch of another living being upon their flesh.
Powers
Flight Self fly
Wisps can Fly!
Mental Blast Ranged Psionic, Foe -Recharge
The basic psionic attack does moderate damage and can slightly reduce a target's attack speed.
Psychic Scream Cone Psionic, Foe -Recharge

No Melee attacks No Hand to Hand
Wisps don´t have any Melee attacks at all
Lieutenants
Bull Natterling
What are Natterlings made of? No one can truly say. Their twisted bodies seem to be composed of all manner of matter, from the flesh of Brutes to the strange jewel-like Kora fruit. In battle, the Natterlings will shoot gouts of this amalgamated material at their enemies, causing great damage and a very unpleasant smell.

Notes
- Observers can see stealthed and invisible heroes.
- An Observer's range of view to notice enemies is average, but the Optic Blast power has a very long range of attack.
- Observers are immune to several hold powers including sleep and confuse. However, they are vulnerable to domination and fear.
- Flight is an inherent power for Observers. While knockdown attacks do cause damage, Observers cannot be grounded.
