Note that these mobs use an enrage ability... when they get big and red it can be removed with Enrage removing abilities:
[spell=2908] [class=11]
[spell=19801] [class=3]
Shiv [class=4]
As of now, i see nothing. Bugged?

Description
I command the sentinels of Niuzao. Every defender out there can hold his own against the mantid swarm. The kunchong, however, are something different. They are massive, violent, and without a question the biggest threat to my sentinels' lives. Only Niuzao stands a chance against them. Niuzao... and perhaps you.
