Rider



Riders are magical creatures that resemble a floating jellyfish with a thorny shell and a gaping mouth below that shell. The specific breed of Storm Kin is said to have been created by a once great mage named Cembrien, but whether he was responsible for the other breeds in the game or whether all the breeds are magical creations or exist naturally, is unknown at the moment.

Riders tend to be very fragile physically, but also tend to be lethal spell-casters. With the exception of Smoke Walkers, all Riders in the game are Mesmers and a pack of more then 3 will make any party think twice as they excel in interrupts, hexing or energy drain, or a combination of the three.

Riders can be found all over Tyria except in the Shiverpeak Mountains.
