The faun is the tier 1 creature of the Grove faction. It is recruited from the Faun Huts. The faun can be upgraded into the faun archer or faun warrior.

The fauns of Murmurwoods remain a mystery to most outsiders. They shun complex tools, instead embracing symbiosis with the forest — trusting that the Mycelium will provide everything they need.^OffBck

Tactics

Fauns are the strongest tier-1 creature on a per-unit basis, but are also the most expensive and have the lowest population. Attacking them in melee is riskier than with other creatures thanks to their Parry ability, letting them strike first before the enemy lands a blow (though they will still have a melee penalty).
