Editing Drycha (section)

==[[Total War: WARHAMMER|Total War: Warhammer II]]==

She makes an appearance as a free (Well, free if you already own the original Wood Elf DLC anyway) Lord for the Wood Elves for Warhammer II. Her campaign is somewhat similar to [[Arkhan the Black]] in that she is set to be opposed to the race she is actually a part of. Her big draw is that instead of getting Ariel as a Legendary Hero, she will get Coeddil. Meaning you can take the REAL tree Hitler and kick those pointy eared assholes out of your forest. She can only recruit some of the weaker elven units, with the explanation being that they have been put under a magical glamour that clouds their minds and makes them believe they are serving Ariel. The glamour reduces their melee defense and ranged attack speed, but gives them a boost to leadership and the Expendable rule, since no one else in Drycha's army really cares if they die. To make up for having a more restricted roster than the rest of the Wood Elf factions she also gets some unique units in the form of Malevolent forest spirits (functionally normal forest spirits but purple and with Frenzy) and animals to take into battle, including feral manticores.

Her campaign is kind of like being the Lorax, only if he became evil and decided to use his army of woodland creatures to commit genocide upon the assholes cutting down the trees. [[Derp|And if he constantly did weird screaming all of the time]].

She doesn’t appear in the Vortex campaign, however in the cutscenes for Throt and the Sisters of Twilight missions, Drycha is all but shown to be the one responsible for orchestrating the Skaven and Wood Elves’ confrontation by telling Throt about Ariel and her abundant life magic that could finally satiate his ravenous hunger. She even shows up for the final battle, only to realize that Ariel and The Sister went to Naggaroth to close a Chaos portal, immediately regretted her decision, and fought alongside the Elves. Ain't the brightest tree, isn't she?
