Rosewights are a type of enemy in Fable Legends.
Background[]
During the time of Fable Legends, Rosewights are enemies who inhabit the many forests that surround the scattered human settlements in Albion, and in the gameplay, there are mostly found in the Rosewood region serving as minions of the Lady of Rosewood, protecting the Rosewood forest from the humans.
Rosewights are nothing but the physical manifestation of the deep spirits that inhabit the forests, called wisps, who only take physical form in order to attack or frighten people who disturb the woods, hence why their bodies consist of whatever’s growing around them, such as branches and roots, and once proper formed, they rip themselves apart from the soil in order to give chase to their enemies.
Wisps[]
By the time of Fable Legends, wisps are the name given to the spirits that live within the forests, deeply associated with magic and the woods where they choose to live.
Types[]
There are four known types of Rosewights, each with different physical forms and strategies to take their enemies down.
Servants[]
The smaller ones, Servants prefer to attack in packs instead of charging at the enemy alone, and rely solely on melee damage.
Stalkers[]
Stalkers prefer to attack alone, and even though they also rely on melee combat, they have the ability to retreat and move underground, stalking their prey and launching surprise attacks.
Thorns[]
Thorns rely solely on ranged attacks, throwing rocks and pieces of soil they are able to pick with their own roots on the enemy.
Barkskin[]
The bigger, and also most dangerous of the known Rosewights, Barkskins have no problem charging alone to battle and rely on their massive size to knock their enemies down and deal great blows during the fight.
Notes[]
- A particular Barkskin Rosewight is the final boss of the prologue of Fable Legends.
- Rosewights share many simmilarities with the Hollow Men from the other titles of the franchise:
- Both are the physical manifestation of angered spirits, the wisps.
- Their bodies are composed by organic remains of living beings.
- Hollow men being human corpses.
- Rosewights being the forest's roots and branches.
- The simmilarity is also noted by the game's developers in the promo video announcing Rosewights.
- As the Stalker Rosewight was the first model developed, most of the released images of Rosewights depicts it as being the only type.
