'''Root Runners''' are enemies that appear in ''[[Skylanders: Giants]]'' as a replacement for the [[Chompy Pod]]s. As their name suggests, they take out their roots, and run a little distance away if approached. | |||
Root Runners are introduced either in the [[Life]] [[Elemental Gate|Elemental gate]] in [[Time of the Giants]] or at the start of [[Junkyard Isles]], depending on which level the player encounters them first. If the player doesn't enter the Life Gate in Time of the Giants, their introduction will instead occur at Junkyard Isles. | |||
