Jade (species)

The Jade appear to be some sort of magical automatons which serve the Mursaat. Jade can be found from the eastern Southern Shiverpeaks on. They appear as animate suits, and act as bodyguards for the Mursaat. Despite their "jade" name, they appear more purple. Jade come in two varieties: Jade Armor and Jade Bow; they are the warrior and ranger compliment to the spellcasting Mursaat. They appear to have no or only little will of their own, and require a Mursaat's presence to operate, as demonstrated by the group of Jade in the Abaddon's Mouth mission which appear to be "off" and will not move or attack until activated by the nearby Mursaat Monk (or at all, if the monk is killed before activating them). Like the Mursaat, Jade possess the absurdly powerful Spectral Agony skill and should be approached by infused players (see infusion) with caution and un-infused players not at all.
