Due to the corruption of the Scarlet King, they sport a new spiked appearance and crawl on all fours and move in far greater speeds.

Ripper— Grounded Wizards that act as enforcers on the battlefield and wield heavy weaponry to devastate their foes. Armed with lower health pools and an elemental shield.
