Trivia

• Despite being described as moving most of the time, they only run in Wilikin Village (Real World), Darklight Crypt and Swarm's Heroic Challenge. Though this is most likely a glitch, certain attacks can also make them uproot, only to burrow exactly where they stand.
• The Root Runners first appeared in the 3DS version of Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure in The Wingwarrens, and reappeared in the 3DS version of Skylanders: Swap Force, at Fountain Springs. Though, Root Runners didn't spawn Chompies in 3DS versions, and spitted shrinking projectiles instead.
