The Dunlending Axe-thrower is a type of Dunlending Warrior that fights using either bronze and iron throwing axes, rather than other melee weapons.
Dunlendings, also known as Wildmen of Dunland, were the people of Dunland. They were known as a fierce culture of Men who sought vengeance on the people of Rohan who, as Saruman rightly said, drove them into the mountains. In The Two Towers, Saruman used their anger as a manipulation and convinces them to destroy the land of Rohan during the War of the Ring. He sends them across Rohan, burning and looting the land.
Spawn
The Dunlending Axe-thrower spawn on grass blocks within Dunland regardless of light level, although they are much more uncommon than other Dunlending units (aside from berserkers).
Behaviour
Dunlending Axe-throwers will ignore any player or mob that is friendly or neutral towards Dunland, but if that entity is a foe of Dunland (e.g. a strawhead), they will begin throwing their axes at it, doing 6HP of damage per hit.
Hiring
These units may be hired for 200 Dunland alignment from a Dunlending Warlord for 50 coins.
| Advantages | Disadvantages |
|---|---|
| Can be hired in Dunland, altogether not too far away | Expensive for an axe thrower |
| Works well against swimming enemies | Has mediocre armour with the same statistics as Rohirric armour |
| Well priced alignment wise | Uses a normal bow; Orc archers (which have better armour) could be better |
