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
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.

Brutes resistance
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.

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
Chomp Melee Heavy Lethal
Sentries can Chomp down on nearby foes.

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.

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 mez powers including sleep and confuse. However, they are vulnerable to hold and fear.
- Flight is an inherent power for Observers. While knockdown attacks do cause damage, Observers cannot be grounded.
