Hurlock (variation)

Hurlocks are taller and more muscular than genlocks and often form the strongest part of darkspawn armies. They are known to excel at using two-handed weapons. Hurlock Alphas are among the best of the best of the darkspawn shock troops, and are particularly fierce in close combat.

Among their ranks, Hurlocks are differentiated by their abilities. The most basic Hurlocks are the most common, and serve as heavy infantry.

While often paired with Genlocks, these Darkspawn are much more of a threat than their Dwarven Cousins. Not only do they tower above their bretheren, but their Strength and Constitution are also much higher. While a Genlock may be felled with two or three strikes, these Hurlocks are a much greater force to be reckoned with, as many battle worn warriors have been battered and broken by only one. Not known for tactical prowess, Hurlocks have to be told where to go. But once they're there, there's no need for instruction.These Darkspawn are masters of the blade; crippling, shattering, battering, bruising, slashing, hacking, tearing, ripping, bitting, stabbing, strangling are all easy feats for these monstrosities. Although by no means the most powerful, they are the most infamous darkspawn, as many survivors of a Darkspawn raid will only remember the armored, bloodied corpse-like, foul creatures that killed their friends and slaughtered their children. Foul indeed, while not exactly graceful, the job is always done with these Darkspawn. Quickly and painfully. With bloodshed.
