The Gnarling is a Creature that appears in War for the Overworld.
"Master of rusty blades and collector of shiny objects. Works in the Barracks."
Description
Armed with a pair of scavenged swords and protected by amour that doesn't exactly fit, the Gnarling is an Underlord's bread and butter warrior.
As they are not quite bright enough to work in the archive or foundry, these green-skinned creatures will instead train themselves in the barracks, perfecting their combat style of constantly hacking at opponents until somebody dies.
Although they may seem weak at first, they can deal surprising damage to the enemy whilst surviving numerous blows themselves, if trained to a high enough level. Gnarlings work best when attacking in groups, easily whittling down even the toughest enemy's health.
Gnarlings are the allrounders of the melee department – reasonably tough and practically addicted to hacking, slashing, and stabbing away at those who oppose their Underlord. Coupled with the fact that they usually will be a tad more experienced than your other minions, this makes them prime material for leading assaults and defenses.
